About

Combining her lengthy trial/litigation experience with her creative problem-solving skills, Jeanne K. Spital strives to find win/win solutions. Because of her trial experience, Jeanne understands the stressors and unpredictability of jury trials and strongly believes in the mediation process. Mediation provides the parties an opportunity to control their own destiny through innovative and practical solutions without the cost and uncertainty of trial.

Jeanne is a Martindale-Hubbell AV-rated attorney with more than three decades of experience handling cases involving personal injury/torts, professional liability, products liability, construction defect, contractual disputes, and copyright. She has represented both plaintiffs and defendants in Florida state and federal courts. She began her career in Maryland’s Office of the Attorney General and has spent the greater part of it in Florida as a civil litigator, becoming a partner at a boutique firm and then of counsel to a large Florida statewide firm.  Negotiating was a necessity in her caseload.

Throughout the years, Jeanne has served on several boards. Serving as a board member required listening respectfully to other board members and analyzing options from different perspectives. At times, solutions had to be crafted with the corporate legal department and those focused on the business goals.

As a professional speaker, Jeanne has been chosen to address many national and local medical conventions regarding risk management, avoiding medical malpractice/professional liability and “what to do if you are sued.” She also has taught risk-management courses for nurses.

She and her husband make their home in Miami and have two children and three young grandchildren.

When Jeanne’s children were younger, she co-founded Pinecrest Premier Soccer Club and helped grow the club from 25 players to 600 players.  Serving as vice-president of Pinecrest Premiere Soccer, as in many youth sports, required intense negotiation skills to work with parents, coaches and players. 

Currently, Jeanne remains an avid tennis player and understands that competitive spirit that often serves as an obstacle for attorneys and clients to recede from their positions.

She has enjoyed helping clients as an attorney.  She hopes to continue helping people by finding a path for all parties in a lawsuit to relieve their stress by resolving conflicts that rob them of their ability to focus on other aspects of their lives.
