Truitt Legal Mediation and Arbitration
Curtright C. Truitt, Esquire

With over 37 years of experience as a civil litigator in Southwest Florida and surrounding counties, I’ve participated in approximately 75 jury trials and handled a wide range of complex legal disputes. In 2017, I expanded my focus to include alternative dispute resolution, specifically arbitration and mediation. Throughout my career, I’ve been involved in hundreds of mediations and numerous arbitrations, giving me a comprehensive understanding of both processes and their critical role in the justice system.

Having observed firsthand the value of arbitration as a time-saving and cost-effective alternative to litigation, I recognized the opportunity to use my extensive trial experience to serve as a neutral arbitrator. My goal is to actively engage in resolving disputes through the arbitration process, offering parties a fair and efficient path to closure. As settlement rates in mediation have gradually declined in recent years, arbitration has increasingly become an essential component in achieving resolution.

Based in Fort Myers, Florida, our practice primarily operates within the 20th Judicial Circuit. However, I have also served clients in surrounding jurisdictions, including Highlands, Okeechobee, Sarasota, Hardee, Charlotte, Hendry, and DeSoto Counties. With courts more frequently ordering non-binding arbitration, particularly for complex cases expected to consume significant trial time, I am fully prepared to step in as an experienced arbitrator to manage these proceedings effectively.

While the core of our work is focused on resolving disputes outside of the courtroom through arbitration and mediation, we also selectively handle legal matters that benefit from our litigation expertise.
