Sharon O'Day

HONOREE Arbitration And Mediation

BIO

After years of representing clients in complex divorce litigation, Sharon O’Day became convinced there had to be a better way to assist families going through difficult transitions. After completing training in Collaborative Divorce, she closed her litigation practice to focus exclusively on assisting families through divorce and paternity cases without resorting to the courts. Sharon is a mediator to her core and is committed to helping families find creative solutions to the complex issues that arise throughout the stages of divorce. She knows first-hand the high emotional and financial cost of a litigated divorce and, is dedicated to helping families avoid this trauma by working with both sides to find winwin solutions to even the most difficult disputes. Every family is unique and Sharon’s expertise in collaborative law assists clients in finding equally unique solutions to their disputes. When not engaged in mediation Sharon enjoys community service. She has served as Chair of the Family Law Section of the Sarasota Bar Association, is the current Chair of the Alternative Dispute Resolution Section and has served on the 12th Judicial Circuit Grievance Committee.

She is also a member of the Florida Academy of Collaborative Professionals accreditation committee and was recently certified as an Instructor for both Family and County Mediations.
