About William J
William J Lobb practiced law in Florida after earning his law degree in the mid-1990s. He built a steady practice that spans litigation and family law matters, and he added mediation to his toolkit as an alternative means of resolving disputes. His path through law has been pragmatic and steady.
He holds a Juris Doctor from Stetson University College of Law (J.D., 1994) and a Bachelor of Arts in Economics from LaSalle University (B.A., 1991). Those academic years preceded a career rooted in Florida’s courtrooms and conference rooms. His economics background informs his approach to cases that involve financial issues, while his Stetson training supplied the doctrinal foundation lawyers rely on in civil and family courts.
Early in his career he handled contested matters that required both courtroom preparation and negotiation skills. Over time he took on cases across civil practice and family law, representing clients in custody, support, divorce, and contested civil disputes. He has spent substantial time preparing pleadings, arguing motions, and conducting discovery. Those experiences gave him a practical sense of where cases break and where they settle.
In addition to litigating, Lobb pursued formal mediation credentials. He is certified by the Supreme Court of Florida as a Circuit Civil Mediator and as a Family Law Mediator. Those certifications allow him to serve as a neutral third party in both civil and family law disputes. As a mediator he guides parties through structured discussions, helps clarify issues, and assists them in crafting agreements that reflect both legal rights and real-world concerns.
He now practices from the Law Office of William J. Lobb. There he divides his time between representing clients and conducting mediations. He handles the nuts and bolts of case preparation when litigation is necessary. He also offers mediation as an option to resolve matters more quickly and with less expense when the parties are willing to engage in negotiation.
Colleagues and clients describe his approach as straightforward. He emphasizes practical outcomes and clear communication. He is active in Florida courts and in private dispute-resolution settings. His current practice focuses on civil litigation, family law matters, and court-approved mediation services in Florida.
