Meet Kimberly Lorenz
Florida Supreme Court Certified Mediator and Litigator
A trial attorney for 18+ years, Kimberly Lorenz now serves as a Florida Supreme Court Certified Mediator for her colleagues from both sides of the aisle. Kimberly’s background includes 15 years as a former insurance defense attorney, and a general civil litigation practice in which she successfully tried Plaintiff’s personal injury, contested probate matters and complex commercial cases. Her versatility and experience allow her to be an effective mediator in a variety of cases, including personal injury, premises liability, negligent security, contract, trust, probate and guardianship matters. Because she has litigated and tried the same types of cases she currently mediates, Kimberly draws on her up-to-date knowledge of the law and her understanding of the factors affecting both sides to effect resolution in cases involving even the most difficult of claims or clients.
Kimberly’s Approach
A skilled trial attorney with an ongoing litigation practice, correspondingly, Kimberly applies the same meticulous analysis and proactive approach to her mediations. This, combined with her compassion and understanding of the delicate situations and dynamics which can lead parties to litigate, makes her an efficient and effective mediator for even the most difficult of cases.
Overall, Kimberly’s goal is to help parties avoid the cost, delay, uncertainty, and risks inherent to trial by empowering them to determine their own terms for resolution and minimize exposure to further discovery and litigation. Additionally, she strives to craft creative solutions that go beyond money damages and address all outstanding concerns among parties in reaching a resolution.

Accordingly, she is heavily involved in various community development boards and regularly volunteers for Habitat for Humanity, the Central Florida Association for Women Lawyers, the Richard Elmer Fund and other local initiatives.
“All clients want their day in Court but as attorneys we know Court is not always the best option and mediation should be a consideration. Every case is different and as a result finding the right mediator is essential to help ensure a resolution that works best for your client.”

"Very impressed. 5 people - all remote from each other. Ms. Lorenz rapidly completed the settlement agreement with several rounds of edits, and it was all done remotely during a zoom meeting. The time spent on mediation well spent. The DocuSign settlement agreement avoided the need for scanners. Very nice. Thank you."

"Kimberly Lorenz is thoughtful, informative, and fair in dealing with both parties involved in mediation. I appreciated her attention to detail in explaining how mediation works and how she would work with both parties to reach a productive outcome. I also found her to be calm, and a good listener. I never felt she was an advocate for one side over the other in settling our mediation."
-- Dr. Gerald Boarman
"My wife and I really appreciate Kimberly explaining the Mediation procedure, her experience and what may be said negatively and positively from any of the lawyers and/or clients. With so many separate groups meets* to listen to and talk to would seem like long no responses, but Kimberly also explained to be patient, understand everyone wants their time, not rushed. I like Kimberly's attitude of compassion and authority about realities, suggestions and possibilities for all involved. Many times, Kimberly helped calm my anxiety through the mediation meeting. Kimberly is blessing mediator, thank you!"

"Professional and knowledgeable."

"I had a lawsuit against me; my lawyer recommended going through mediation. This was my 1st & only time I've done legal mediation. Kim was very good, professional. She explained her background which helped me understand her extensive knowledge & experience in the matter at hand. She explained how it works, what will happen during the process & different outcomes possible. I think Kim was very instrumental in helping us get a resolution the same day, without having to go to trial. Although the lawsuit was very distressing & infuriating, Kim helped work through the issues & process. I would highly recommend Kim as a mediator."
-- Laurel Muth
