Ann M. Goade is the premier family law mediator on the Treasure Coast, and has been certified as a family law and dependency mediator by the Florida Supreme Court since 1993.
Although a family law attorney, Ann limits her practice to family law mediation only. So much so that in 2006 she was awarded Advanced Practitioner status for Family Law by the elite Association for Conflict Resolution.
Due to her years in private practice, Ann understands that going to trial is rarely in the clients’ best interests, particularly in family matters. She understands that when people realize their voices are being heard and considered, they become invested in the settlement process and are satisfied with the ultimate mediated agreement.
Additionally, parties to a mediated settlement agreement tend to abide by the terms set forth in their agreement more than parties who have the terms of their divorce forced upon them by court. This, in turn, leads to fewer returns to the courtroom.
Ann is licensed to practice law in Florida, Illinois, Missouri, Tennessee, as well as before the Supreme Court of the United States.
