About Joel
Biography
My wife (Dr. Tara A. Forcier, M.D.), and I have been devoted to helping families and children since we first met, almost twenty years ago. While she cares for children through her medical practice as a pediatrician, I work with families to help resolve conflict in a way that protects their children. We both serve on the Board of Directors of our youngest son's non-profit school, and on the Board of Directors of our local soccer club, Satellite Beach Soccer, where I also coach our two eldest children's teams.

A GENUINE ADVOCATE!
From day one, Joel was my advocate. His kind and professional demeanor was demonstrated throughout the entire process. Divorce can be so emotional but Joel helped me look at my situation objectively. The best interest of my children was consistently a priority. Joel's experience in mediation put ...

Stay-at-home Mom
Joel and his staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient. As a stay-at-home mom, my main concern was custody/parenting time with my child. Joel's PEACE method (parenting, equitable distribution, alimony, child support, everything else) was on par with my own philosophy for order of importance...

Hire this lawyer! You will not regret it.
I am a single father with custody of my two daughters. Over the past six years, I have been involved in various legal disputes with my ex-wife, the latest being a custody issue. I believe if I had found Joel Wilson earlier, many of these disputes would not have happened. Mr. Wilson listens, empathiz...

"Joel is my number one mediator of choice. He has a knack for settling difficult cases and for making both parties in a case feel at ease. I highly recommend Joel for all of your mediation needs."
"I used Joel in a highly emotional dissolution of marriage as a mediator. His temperament and understanding of the law was amazing. I will absolutely be using him again as a mediator. I would have no issue whatsoever referring a client to Joel if I had a conflict of interest, etc., as I feel he is truly a highly competent family law attorney."

"I endorse this lawyer. I've seen Joel settle nasty cases as a mediator that no one would ever believe could have been settled. He is always cheerful and professional, and very skilled at getting upset people to resolve problems."
"I endorse this lawyer/mediator. I am very happy to live in a community where people like Joel Wilson are professionals. He is a selfless individual who has mentored many mediators in the field. I have worked with him as opposing counsel on collaborative matters. He has been an attorney in cases where I was the mediator and I have hired him as a mediator for my own clients. I appreciate Mr. Wilson very much and hope to have the opportunity to work with him again in the future."
"Prior to creating a firm with Mr. Wilson, I had the pleasure of mediating many cases with him. I found Mr. Wilson to be well-educated on the law, eager to understand the perspective of the parties and driven to obtain a just result. In short, I would absolutely recommend Mr. Wilson for his mediation skills."
"Joel's primary practice is family law mediation. He is actually my mediator of choice. His resolution rate on my cases has been nearly 100%.
