About Me
Meet me
Ido J. Alexander, Esq.,
Mediator & Arbitrator
Clarity. Structure. Progress. Resolution. These four principles shape every mediation I conduct—because when the process is thoughtfully designed, meaningful outcomes follow.
I conduct mediations through Salmon & Dulberg Dispute Resolution, one of Florida’s most respected panels. With well over 600 mediations completed, I bring a business-minded, results-focused approach to commercial, insurance, real estate, probate, and financial disputes. I don’t push for a deal—I create the space, pace, and structure that allows the right outcome to emerge.
With a professional background as a restructuring and commercial litigation attorney, I understand not only how disputes unfold—but what it takes to resolve them. I know how to read the room, manage expectations, and guide conversations when the stakes are high and the dynamics are tense.
What sets my mediations apart is how they’re delivered. I’ve built a high-performance Zoom environment that brings structure, clarity, and focus into every session:
- High-definition video
- Studio-quality audio
- Real-time, on-screen overlays displaying live agendas, offer history, pacing cues, and other visuals that support—not distract from—the process
These tools reduce confusion, keep everyone aligned, and create a mediation experience that feels modern, respectful, and controlled. Attorneys stay in command. Clients feel heard. And the path to resolution stays open.

The Foundation of Every Mediation:
Clarity
Clarity means everyone knows where we are in the process, what we’re talking about, and what’s on the table. It’s about removing confusion—visually, verbally, and structurally—so participants can make informed decisions. In mediation, clarity builds trust.
Structure
Structure isn’t rigidity—it’s guidance. A well-organized process helps participants feel safe, respected, and prepared for what comes next. When the path is clear, people are more willing to walk it.
Progress
Progress is more than movement—it’s meaningful direction. I design the session to keep momentum without pressure, helping parties feel forward motion even when resolution feels far off.
Resolution
Resolution is the natural result of clarity, structure, and progress coming together. It doesn’t always mean a signed agreement—it means that everyone leaves with purpose, understanding, and direction.
