About Dawn
Biography
Dawn M. Saddik, an experienced Matrimonial & Family Law Attorney, Supreme Court Certified Family Mediator, and Supreme Court of Florida Qualified Arbitrator, has been a member of the Florida Bar since 1999. She is also a member of the Family Law Section and Alternative Dispute Resolution Section of the Florida Bar. Prior to law school Ms. Saddik was a Crime Scene Investigator for local police departments. While she began her law career practicing civil and criminal litigation as an associate attorney with local law firms, she soon decided to focus her efforts exclusively on family law matters and opened her own law firm in 2006. Since devoting her practice to family law and matrimonial matters, Ms. Saddik has dedicated her practice to finding new and improved ways to help clients with the emotional stress that divorce and family litigation can cause. Having undergone a divorce of her own, Ms. Saddik is well aware of what her clients are going through. Ms. Saddik is the single mother of 2 children, one whom has special needs. Through her own experiences professionally and personally, she guides her clients toward settlement of their family law disputes, rather than experiencing the emotional strain of expensive litigation.
She has served as a neutral mediator for couples who wish to settle their issues without hiring attorneys, and she has mediated cases where both parties had their own attorney.
Ms. Saddik is experienced in helping those who seek to avoid the stress and expense associated with divorce and post divorce issues. She has helped many families make their own choices on what is best for their family unit, rather than a third party who only gets a snap shot of the family’s situation. Through mediation, Ms. Saddik can help you determine your own destiny and end your relationship the way it started, amicably.
Because of Ms. Saddik having a child with special needs, she has additional personal and professional knowledge when it comes to unique family situations and issues. She is an advisor who can help you resolve your family law disputes in an efficient, informed, and relaxed manner, so that your family can move on with their lives.

A breath of fresh air!
I cannot recommend Dawn Saddik enough! From the start, she made us both feel very positive and at peace in such a potentially complicated and burdened time. I had spoken to other mediators before who just wanted us to argue and complicate our divorce. Dawn reassured us that this process did not have...

She is the best
I was referred to Dawn by a very good friend, whose opinion and judgment I trusted. She was correct to recommend Dawn. From the first time we spoke, she was very professional. She explained the law as it applied to my situation, offered suggestions and made sure I had the big picture to get the outc...

5 STARS
We hired Dawn after a referral from our family therapist. Having never been through a divorce (and hopefully never will again), after a long term marriage - my wife and I sought to be kind and thoughtful about how we ended things. Dawn not only understood the benefit of an amicable divorce - she help...

She made herself readily available to us which made the ardu...
