Simply the BEST!
I was rear ended by a limo driver in June of 2012. The policy holder of the limo fraudulently obtained insurance [reported it was a private, NOT FOR HIRE vehicle]: after the collision claim was settled the at fault insured was cancelled and my uninsured motorist coverage took over. I ultimately ha...
"Jim has been a mediator for a number of years now and has helped successfully mediate several matters for my firm over the years. Knowledgeable, professional, friendly and outstanding at what he does, it is perhaps his genuinely friendly nature and ability to remember one's name that matters most to me. Combine his knowledge and ability with those terrific traits and you have not only a fine man but one who is an excellent go between in resolving disputes. I recommend his services to anyone without reservation."
"Jim did an absolutely fantastic job on a mediation I had recently in a very difficult case. The client had significant injuries, but the case also had some causation problems. Jim related extremely well with my clients and gained their confidence. He also continuously pushed the other side to get the case resolved. He is someone who both sides can trust to work hard to get the case settled."
"I highly endorse James Stewart. On several occasions Mr. Stewart has mediated disputed claims between my client and the adjuster or attorney for the other party. Mr. Stewart is a litigation attorney with an excellent understanding of the rules of evidence. Mr Stewart utilizes his years of litigation experience to navigate complex litigation in an effort to bring a resolution to cases which do not appear to be likely to settle via negotiation."
"Jim is an outstanding mediator with a great reputation in the legal community. I can honestly endorse this lawyer's work without hesitation."
"Jim did an excellent job mediating a nursing home wrongful death matter for me. The issues were complex and both sides were entrenched. Jim worked hard to encourage the parties to reach a resolution. He communicated the parties' respective positions well. He also produced substantial movement from both sides when I did not expect much movement at all. I would recommend him to anyone who wants to mediate a personal injury matter."
"I have known Jim for several years. I have used him as a mediator many times, both when I was an insurance defense attorney, and now as a plaintiff's attorney, and I can say, with doubt, that no one will work harder to get the parties to settle a case than will Jim. He has the rare ability to convince injured plaintiffs, as well as large insurance companies, that they are better off settling their case than to continue expensive and lengthy litigation. I would not hesitate to use Jim as a mediator in any of my cases."
"I have known Jim for a number of years, both in his capacity as an advocate for injured plaintiffs, as well as in his role as a mediator. I have used Jim to mediate a number of cases over the years and have always found him to be a well prepared, and persuasive neutral, who gives both sides the benefit of his vast experience in an effort to resolve the matter before him. I endorse his work."
"In his practice as an attorney, Mr. Stewart always brings a high degree of experience and expertise to his clients' representation. In his work as a mediator his perspective and problem solving is top notch. Without question, those participants that ignore his advice in that setting do so at their peril. Insurance company once refused his suggested mediated settlement, forcing the issues to trial, where a jury showed them the error of obstinance. I endorse this lawyer's work."
"I have had the pleasure of knowing Jim for a number of years now. He is not only highly skilled, aggressive, and successful when it comes to helping his clients, but more importantly he truly cares. He personally works closely with his clients to ensure that they obtain the justice they deserve. I am happy to endorse this attorney's work."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. Jim not only has an excellent reputation with Plaintiff and Defense lawyers as a mediatior but I have seen first hand how effective he is. I would recommend and use Jim without hesitation."
"We have used Jim many times on resolving our personal injury cases with many successes. He is knowledgable, honest and a fantastic communicator. He is known to be straight forward and creative in resolving disputes. I endorse this lawyers work."
"I first met Mr. Stewart several years ago at a legal seminar reagrding Mediation Practices. He was an excellent teacher and was very patient with the questions for the gallery. I gained much respect for Mr. Stewart and his Mediation practice during that seminar. I have since used him as a mediator on my firm's cases. I have been very impressed with his ability to 'sort through the personal feelings' and get to the root of the conflict. I represent exclusively injured Plaintiffs, but I feel Mr. Stewart is fair minded and would give each party a fair and unbiased opinion about their case and work towards a positive resolution. James (Jim) Stewart is one of the finest and fairest mediators I know and I would be proud to have him mediate a case for me anytime. James M. Roth THE ROTH FIRM, LLC -- ATLANTA, GEORGIA"
