Welcome to Pinellas Mediation:
Lawyer-Mediator Ken Bowen, a graduate of Georgetown
Law School, is based in St. Petersburg, Florida,
but mediates and arbitrates cases throughout the Tampa Bay area, including
Hillsborough, Pasco, Polk, Pinellas and Manatee Counties. As your
mediator, Mr. Bowen will work hard to facilitate a satisfactory
settlement of your case. He will assist lawyers and their clients,
as well as pro-se parties, to resolve their disputes in an informal,
confidential and non-adversarial setting. Mr. Bowen’s mediation
style has been described as “creative” and “tenacious”. He describes
his mediation style as proactive and flexible.
Mediation has been defined as:
“… a flexible process conducted confidentially, in which a neutral
person actively assists parties in working towards a negotiated
agreement of a dispute or difference, with the parties in ultimate
control of the decision to settle and the terms of resolution.”
Ken Bowen believes that every case presents its own unique issues
and challenges which in turn requires different strategies and
techniques to facilitate a satisfactory settlement, thus the
importance of flexibility. Mr. Bowen is not merely a messenger, but
rather an energetic yet patient participant in the process. However,
as your mediator, Mr. Bowen respects the right of the parties to
control their own destinies and will, at all times, act in a neutral
and impartial manner. The process of attempting to reach an
agreement, and the specifics of that agreement, belong entirely to
the parties.
"Ken Bowen's mediation goals extend beyond merely achieving a
satisfactory settlement. He aims as well to enhance clients
satisfaction with their attorneys. His unique vision of mediation
results in clients who are pleased with their settlements -- and
with their attorneys."
In Mr. Bowen’s experience, most cases will settle during mediation.
However, for those few that do not settle, he will work hard to help
the parties to identify and understand the stubborn issues acting as
obstacles to settlement so that they leave the process with valuable
information which often leads to a settlement shortly after
mediation, or at the very least, a better understanding of the
challenges they will face should a trial be necessary.
Ken Bowen looks forward to being your mediator or arbitrator.
