Deborah Ann Byles, Attorney
at Law
Florida Supreme Court Certified
Family Law Mediator
Personal background:
After growing
up in Coral Gables, Florida,
in 1992, I ventured off to
Hofstra University, located
in Long Island, New York,
to obtain my Bachelor of the
Arts degree, in Sociology,
and two minor degrees in English
and Psychology. I graduated
Cum Laude from Hofstra, where
I became a member of Phi Beta
Kappa. Thereafter, I
obtained my Juris Doctorate,
with Honors, at Florida State
College of Law, where I was
a member of the Moot Court
Team – Mock Trial Division
and the Journal of Transnational
Law and Policy. I was
also a member of the Governor’s
Task Force on Domestic Violence,
while living in Tallahassee.
I have been
enthusiastically practicing
law since 1996, when I was
admitted into the Florida
Bar. I am a founding
member of the Collaborative
Lawyers of South Florida,
a member of the Caribbean
Bar Association and the Broward
Bar Association. I have experience
in commercial litigation and
insurance defense/worker’s
compensation litigation, yet
my practice area currently
encompasses family and matrimonial
law.
My
role as a Mediator:
In the year 2002, I became
a Supreme Court Certified
Family Law Mediator, which
I also thoroughly enjoy.
As a mediator, I am a neutral
third party who develops creative
ways to facilitate a resolution
of your family issues and
concerns. I will assist parties
who are either represented
by attorneys or who are pro
se (representing themselves).
