"I cannot compliment Justice Willhite enough for the extraordinary service he provided. He was absolutely excellent as was all of our dealings with your staff. I have come to only use your company. Your staff and the neutrals I have worked with are always professional, hardworking, congenial, cooperative and an absolute pleasure to work with. Again, Justice Willhite's efforts were extraordinary and he helped settle a matter that defied settlement for years. Thank you all again."
"Justice Willhite is a very sharp mediator with a friendly, easygoing demeanor. And it was his mediator's proposal that succeeded in settling the case. It was just high enough for the other side and just low enough for us. Justice Willhite is a great choice, especially if you have a matter in State Court."
"Some mediators like to be very heavy handed with the parties - as if they're trying the case - but Justice Willhite makes it very clear that he's not the fact finder. He's not going to push anybody toward a settlement. He's just trying to get the parties to reach a number they believe can help resolve the case."
"Justice Willhite has a terrific sense of humor. Sometimes when everything is really tense on Zoom, he'll crack a joke and everybody just becomes at ease. And cases where people are at ease settle. His approach to mediation is kind and non-pompous. And that's wonderful because our clients enter the process very often scared, confused, maybe even distrustful. And he really puts them at ease. He does a great job of that."
"Justice Willhite's distinguished background on the trial court and appellate bench means that his evaluative work during mediations is especially impactful. His level of expertise is very, very high. He was at the highest echelons of our profession, and when somebody like that speaks, they carry a lot of credibility."
"Justice Willhite’s efforts were greatly appreciated. I will absolutely turn to him again in these matters and have already recommended him to a colleague."
