WEST PALM BEACH, Fla.,
Dec. 9, 2019 /PRNewswire/
-- Ana Cristina Maldonado, who was called to dispute
resolution as a career choice beginning with her legal studies,
joins Upchurch Watson White & Max Mediation
Group this week.
Since 2012, she has been first a courthouse mediator and then
the sole neutral with Maldonado Mediation, focusing primarily on
resolving family issues, and she will be a driving force in this
practice area for UWWM. Additionally, her new affiliation with
UWWM will allow her to more quickly expand her circuit civil and
pre-trial mediation practice areas.
"Cristina's zealous pursuit of excellence in her professional
endeavors is apparent from her accomplished background," said UWWM
CEO and President John Upchurch.
"She brings creativity and energy into her family law resolution
work, a field we are now pleased to add to the firm's portfolio
with her welcome addition."
Maldonado's first career had international flair and drew
heavily upon her management and mathematics skills. For seven years
before she began attending St. Thomas
University School of Law, she was a program manager for Abt
Associates International, administering a $22 million budget and two field offices and
field operations across nine countries. Her ability to speak both
Spanish and Portuguese came in handy as she supervised 15 employees
and contractors.
She also played a key role in strategic planning, procurement,
human resources management, contract administration, budget
monitoring, and reporting results on multiple contracts and
deliverables. "The contracts she worked on provided regional
technical assistance on labor, employment, and workplace safety
policy and capacity building in Central
America," her biographical profile states.
Since law school and obtaining Florida Supreme Court
certification as a mediator in the areas of circuit civil,
dependency and family, Maldonado has mediated more than 1,600
cases with more than 300 attorneys and many hundreds of
self-represented parties. The Florida Dispute Resolution Center has
approved her as a primary trainer for family mediation and as an
assistant trainer for dependency and circuit civil mediation.
To date, she has helped train and mentor more than 100 new
mediators.
