About Me
Roxana Payano, MBA
I founded Beacon Mediation Services with one goal: to provide clarity, fairness, and efficiency in the resolution of disputes. As a Florida Supreme Court Certified Mediator in Family and Circuit Civil matters, I bring both legal knowledge and practical experience to guide parties toward meaningful, lasting agreements. My MBA background further strengthens my ability to address complex financial and business-related disputes with precision and strategy.
Every case I handle is approached with neutrality, professionalism, and empathy. I believe that every voice deserves to be heard, and I work to ensure the mediation process is respectful, balanced, and efficient. By creating a structured environment that reduces conflict and protects confidentiality, I help clients and attorneys save time, lower costs, and preserve relationships that matter most.
At Beacon Mediation Services, I see mediation not only as a legal process but as an opportunity to empower people to resolve disputes on their own terms—without unnecessary expense, stress, or delay.

FAQS
1
How Mediation Works
The mediation process is straightforward and focused on resolution. After scheduling a session—often available within the same week—we begin with an initial meeting to set ground rules and gather information from all parties. If needed, private caucus sessions provide space for candid discussion and clarification of priorities. When agreement is reached, the terms are drafted into a written document and, if required, submitted to the court for approval. Mediation saves time, reduces costs, and gives parties more control over the outcome than traditional litigation.

Why Mediation?
Mediation provides a faster, more cost-effective, and private alternative to litigation. It allows parties to actively participate in shaping the outcome rather than leaving decisions to a judge. By focusing on collaboration instead of confrontation, mediation helps preserve relationships, reduces the stress of conflict, and creates agreements that are more likely to last. It also gives attorneys a practical tool to resolve cases efficiently, easing crowded dockets and reducing trial preparation. For clients, the process offers peace of mind by maintaining control over sensitive matters and avoiding the uncertainty of the courtroom.

How long does mediation take?
Most mediations can be resolved in just a few hours, often within a single session. More complex disputes may require additional time, but even then, the process is significantly faster and more efficient than litigation, which can take months or years. Mediation is designed to move cases forward quickly while still allowing every party to be fully heard, saving clients the emotional and financial cost of drawn-out disputes and giving attorneys a streamlined path to resolution that reduces trial preparation and court backlog.
