Phil mediated a CPS electric shock case for me yesterday with fantastic results.
While the little boy was not physically disfigured from the burns (minimal scarring remained), he was emotionally traumatized. Meds were small and counseling was sporadic. CPS sought to capitalize on these facts and discount the nature of the harm, and his corresponding recovery.
Phil advocated for that little boy with what I can only describe as the fervor of a father who sees their child suffering. He was able to dismantle their defenses with logical and irrefutable arguments of what a Bexar County jury would think about their position and how foolish they were evaluating the subject damages. CPS got it and did a 180 during the mediation.
Even Allstate’s counsel, who was subrogation counsel on the home owner’s policy for the property damage, was blown away by Phil’s efforts in getting the case resolved for everyone. When I spoke to Allstate’s counsel last night after the mediation, he couldn’t wait to get more cases back to Phil.
A+ work by Mr. Watkins – a real credit to the Bexar County bar.
