Floyd Hale brings decades of experience to his role as a mediator and arbitrator, leveraging a career that spans nearly every corner of civil law. From personal injury and probate litigation to real estate and divorce disputes, Mr. Hale's practice showcases his ability to adapt and excel in diverse legal arenas.

Mr. Hale highlights the profound satisfaction that comes from resolving disputes, emphasizing how settlements bring closure not just to clients but to his own work as a mediator. Drawing from over 30 years of trial experience, he shares,

“There’s nothing like leaving the office knowing you settled it. Even though you may have a very worthwhile mediation, if I didn’t close the file, I don’t feel as good as when I settle it. When I settle it, I feel like both clients and all the lawyers had a good day, and that makes a good day for me.”

For Mr. Hale, the satisfaction of settling a case goes beyond closing a file—it’s about helping both parties leave feeling heard and resolved. This dedication defines his approach, making every mediation a meaningful opportunity for resolution.
