Ryan Copple, Esq.
Mr. Copple began his education by obtaining a Bachelor’s Degree, with a major in Finance from the University of Florida in 1994. He then went on to obtain both his Law Degree and Master’s Degree in Business Administration from Nova Southeastern University in 1998. He practiced civil litigation for various law firms until 2009 when he formed his own law firm. Since then, he has managed to maintain a vibrant and successful law practice.
Mr. Copple has also successfully mediated cases for over 14 years. He concentrates his mediations in homeowner and condominium association disputes, real estate litigation, construction liens, code violations, breaches of contract, collections, evictions, ejectments, specific performance, foreclosures, insurance claims, declaratory relief, and other complex civil litigation matters.
While both mediating and running a law practice, Mr. Copple has lectured in continuing legal education for landlord and tenant obligations in Florida, and in complying with the Americans with Disability and Fair Housing Acts. He is board certified in condominium and planned development law.
Mr. Copple is available to mediate your disputes, especially where the addition of a business background, combined with over 25 years of legal training will provide guidance to the parties.
Our staff will contact you on receipt of your Appointment Request form.
Rates:
$450/hour
Minimum Fees:
- Half-Day: 2 Hour minimum
- Full Day: 4 Hour minimum
Payment for PRE-SUIT CONDO/HOA disputes:
We require full prepayment for half (4 hour) or full day (8 hour) mediation per party. (IE: Each party will get billed for 2 hrs for half day or 4 hours for full day.) We will send you an invoice for that amount, which must be paid at least 2 business days before mediation.
Cancellation Policy:
Mediations or arbitrations cancelled more than 14 days in advance incur no cancellation fee. Due to the difficulty of scheduling on short notice, appointments cancelled less than 14 days in advance incur the minimum charge above. We will work hard to fill that time, however, and if another mediation is scheduled, then you will not be charged. We encourage the parties to use the reserved time for another matter.
Travel:
Due to the convenience and efficiency of Zoom, all in-person mediations are assessed a travel fee (portal to portal) charged at 50% of the hourly rate. This is waived for Full Day appointments in Broward, Palm Beach, and Martin Counties, as well as Ives Dairy Road locations in Miami-Dade County. Please confirm in person appointments with our office before scheduling (we will place a hold) so that we can confirm that the Neutral is available to travel that day.
