When mediation does not produce a complete settlement, the case proceeds toward a contested final hearing before a Palm Beach County judge. Any issues resolved at mediation remain settled — the partial settlement is preserved, and only the unresolved matters go before the court. This means that even an unsuccessful mediation session can meaningfully narrow the scope of what needs to be litigated.
Brodzki Jacobs prepares clients for both outcomes simultaneously. The financial and legal preparation that positions a client well at mediation also positions them well for trial. Delray Beach clients who retain the firm can expect consistent, thorough representation regardless of whether the case resolves at the mediation table or requires a contested hearing in Palm Beach County family court.
