Effective February 4, 2019, Rochelle Lefler will be the state mediator in the St. Petersburg OJCC Office. She is taking over for Judge Young as she assumes the bench in Tampa.

Most recently, Ms. Lefler has been a private mediator at Lefler Dispute Resolution Services in Tampa. She has been mediating civil, family, and workers' compensation cases; she also provided Medicare Set-Aside compliance services. Ms. Lefler has a significant background in legal practice, mediation, and workers' compensation specifically. Many will remember her previous service as a State Mediator in 2000-2001 in the St. Petersburg District.
