“Colleagues, I wanted to share my experience with Phil Watkins, who served as our mediator by agreement in late November. I had a good case involving a negligent driver working for a rideshare company. Defense counsel was very well prepared and competent, but the effort and work that Phil put in to assist in getting the case resolved was nothing short of spectacular. When they ran out of authority, Phil suggested a proposal supported by a summary and report of his view of the case so that higher management could review. The proposal was later accepted and was 50% more than the authority brought to mediation. Phil’s trial experience and knowledge was invaluable. You may want to consider him for your next mediation.”
