Practice Areas
As a Florida Supreme Court Certified Circuit/County Mediator, Brandon S. Diamond, PhD specializes in resolving disputes through virtual mediation—specializing in personal injury, first-party property, business, workplace/employment, association, technology, IP, education/school, and congregational mediation.
Personal Injury
When someone is injured in an accident, the last thing they want is to spend a lot of time in court instead of spending their time healing.....
First Party Property
First-party property mediation usually deals with residential property insurance disputes. The “first-party” is the owner of the property that has been damaged. These disputes can also include homeowners’ associations (HOAs)......
First-party property mediation usually deals with residential property insurance disputes. The “first-party” is the owner of the property that has been damaged. These disputes can also include homeowners’ associations (HOAs). In many states, first-party court cases are often sent to mediation before the trial, so going to mediation first can save all sides time and money. Mediation, as a voluntary process, also gives all parties more control of the process than going through the courts.
Business/Contract
Even the best of business relationships can have disagreements. Whether it is a partnership dispute, a contract dispute....

When groups of people spend more time together than with their families, conflicts are bound to arise. A professional mediator can help your business return to the harmony that allows it to run optimally, without having to replace valuable employees.
Condo/Homeowner’s Association
Whether an association is in dispute with a resident or an insurance company, mediation will save time and money while restoring peace and cooperation to your community....
When someone is injured in an accident, the last thing they want is to spend a lot of time in court instead of spending their time healing. If a settlement is reached, mediation can save over a year of litigation, letting everyone involved get back to living their lives. Mediation also allows all parties to have a say in the results, rather than leaving the verdict to chance.
Technology/ Intellectual Property
Resolving technology and IP disputes through mediation can help preserve business relationships.....
Resolving technology and IP disputes through mediation can help preserve business relationships while maintaining confidentiality that would not be possible in court.
School/Education
Schools and homes are full of people who want to do what they see as best for students, but people can have different opinions about what is best.....
Congregational /Religious
Religious institutions are full of people with good hearts…and different opinions. While everyone wants what is best for the community, they may not all agree on what is best. Whether it is because of a change in leadership....
Religious institutions are full of people with good hearts…and different opinions. While everyone wants what is best for the community, they may not all agree on what is best. Whether it is because of a change in leadership or clergy, educational issues, or changing congregation size, conflicts occur in religious communities. Whether it is a church, synagogue, mosque, or temple, congregational mediation can help resolve conflicts to restore harmony to your religious community.

The Road to Resolution: Common Questions
Understanding how a PhD-led approach breaks through legal impasses
How does a PhD background resolve cases that a JD-only approach might miss?
While legal analysis is essential for understanding the “tip of the iceberg” (the legal positions), a PhD-led approach focuses on the 90% of conflict submerged below the surface. By identifying the underlying psychological drivers and hidden interests, I help parties move past emotional gridlock to find practical, sustainable settlements that traditional legal posturing often overlooks.
Is a law degree required to mediate Florida and Texas cases?
No. In both Florida and Texas, the focus is on a mediator’s ability to remain a neutral, effective facilitator. As a Florida Supreme Court Certified Circuit/County Mediator (#40840CR), I meet the highest standards of professional conduct and ethical neutrality. This allows me to focus purely on the mediation process without the risk of unethically providing legal advice, ensuring a safe and balanced environment for all parties.
Can you help when a mediation has already hit a “hard impasse”?
Absolutely. I specialize in “stuck” cases where the parties have reached a deadlock. My process involves shifting from a “litigation mindset” (who is right) to a “mediation mindset” (what is the solution). By using facilitative techniques to bridge deep-seated perspectives, I uncover the “Yes-able” middle ground that high-stakes disputes require.
How do we handle the logistics of virtual mediation across states?
I offer fully secure, professional virtual mediation services for both Florida and Texas-based cases. This includes dedicated private breakout rooms for confidential caucus sessions and seamless digital document sharing. My setup is designed to remove travel friction, allowing attorneys and their clients to focus entirely on the resolution at hand.
