Jill Lowe

Jill graduated from the University of Central Florida with a degree in Legal Studies. During her last year at UCF, she interned with a large firm in downtown Orlando and that is where she found her life’s purpose. Afterwards, she attended law school at Stetson University College of Law and graduated cum laude. After taking a course in family law, she realized that she wanted to help individuals by representing them in family law cases.

Jill is a child of divorced parents and witnessed first-hand the affect conflict has on the family and the individuals. She learned nothing good comes from a high-conflict divorce. It wipes out the family finances and leaves the family torn apart and emotionally spent. After experiencing her own health issues seven years ago, she decided to turn away from litigation to focus on resolving disputes peacefully. There is a better way to divorce. It does not have to be a fight or a war. There are other options to the traditional litigation case, i.e., resolving your divorce case through mediation.

As a mediator, Jill approaches each case differently… with a commitment to well-being and on healing the brokenness through a mediated settlement agreement. As a mediator, she draws upon her own personal experiences and legal expertise. She understands what it feels like to experience change and hurt and fear.

Jill is licensed to practice law in both Texas and Florida. She has been representing clients in a wide variety of family law cases for over 18 years. Her experience includes high-net worth divorces and complex financial issues. Jill was Board Certified in Family Law in Florida from 2014-2019, and a Florida Supreme Court Certified Family Mediator from 2015-2019. Jill is also trained in the collaborative process and uses her collaborative skills and experience to assist parties with reaching a settlement in the mediation process.

Mediation Explained

What Is Mediation?

Mediation is a confidential process used to resolve conflicts in an amicable manner. An impartial mediator directs the process and facilitates the communication between the parties in an effort to explore solutions and obtain a mutually satisfactory agreement.

Mediation Objectives

The objective of mediation is for parties in conflict to participate in good faith in a dialogue regarding their dispute, to present their points of view and to explore options for settlement in an effort to reach a mutually satisfactory resolution of their dispute.

What Happens in Mediation?

The mediator welcomes the participants and explains the mediation process, the mediator’s role in the process and the rules of mediation. The participants present the issues they want to resolve, explore their interests and options and look for a mutual resolution. If the parties reach an agreement and sign it, this agreement may have the validity of a contract.

The Mediator's Role

A mediator is an impartial third party who is trained to listen to the parties, clarify the parties’ issues and facilitate communication to help the participants negotiate in a flexible, private setting.

Cases Appropriate for Mediation

Conflicts between neighbors, families, merchants and consumers, landlords and tenants, employers and employees and other disputes are appropriate for mediation.

Mediation Benefits

Mediation is voluntary, flexible, economic, fast and confidential. If an agreement is reached, everyone wins.
