Florida Supreme Court Certified County Mediator | Small Claims, Landlord-Tenant, Consumer & Contract Disputes

Key West, Florida | Serving Monroe County & Statewide Florida Virtually

Professional Overview

Vanndaley Rang is a Florida Supreme Court Certified County Mediator whose professional background combines Florida court administration, legal education, behavioral health, and trauma-informed conflict resolution.

Certified as a County Court Mediator in 2024, Ms. Rang mediates small claims, landlord-tenant matters, consumer and contract disputes, neighborhood and community conflicts, and other county court matters. Her approach is informed by years of experience working within Florida's judicial system and her current work in behavioral health, where communication, emotional regulation, crisis intervention, and conflict de-escalation are central to her professional responsibilities.

Before entering the behavioral health field, Ms. Rang served in Florida's Sixteenth Judicial Circuit as a Court Program Specialist and Lead Family Court Case Manager. She worked closely with judges, magistrates, attorneys, court personnel, and self-represented litigants on matters involving dissolution of marriage, paternity, child support, time-sharing, domestic violence, injunctions for protection, and civil case management.

That experience provides her with an understanding of court procedure and the human dynamics that frequently accompany legal disputes. Importantly, her family-court experience represents her court administration background rather than a Family Mediator certification.

Ms. Rang earned a Juris Master (J.M.) in Employment Law and Human Resources Risk Management from Florida State University College of Law and a Bachelor of Applied Science in Supervision and Management from Daytona State College.

Today, she also works as a behavioral health therapist and school-based clinician serving children, adolescents, and families in the Florida Keys.

Mediation Approach

Ms. Rang brings a trauma-informed, calm, and structured approach to mediation.

Her behavioral health experience includes crisis intervention, conflict de-escalation, active listening, emotional regulation, family-centered treatment planning, and cognitive behavioral techniques. Combined with her experience inside Florida's court system, this background can be particularly valuable when disputes involve strong emotions, communication difficulties, or parties unfamiliar with the judicial process.

She approaches mediation as a neutral facilitator. Her role is not to determine who is right or wrong, provide legal advice, or impose a decision, but to help participants communicate effectively, identify the issues driving the dispute, evaluate potential options, and work toward a voluntary resolution.

Her mediation practice emphasizes neutrality, confidentiality, party self-determination, and procedural fairness in accordance with the Florida Supreme Court's Standards of Professional Conduct for Mediators.

Florida Court Experience

Before becoming a behavioral health therapist, Ms. Rang worked within Florida's Sixteenth Judicial Circuit as a Court Program Specialist and Lead Family Court Case Manager.

• Dissolution of marriage
• Paternity
• Child support
• Time-sharing
• Domestic violence
• Injunctions for protection
• Civil case management

She also supported the Domestic Violence Division by assisting with emergency injunction proceedings, preparing judicial background materials, monitoring court-ordered conditions, and coordinating with community agencies.
