    Steve Williams is an excellent mediator. In fact, he is the best I have ever used. Steve understands complex legal issues and how to dissect them in a manner that is effective in persuading both parties of all the benefits of reaching a settlement. Steve works tirelessly in every case he mediates in reaching a settlement. He has had great rapport with all my clients, which enhances greatly the chances of reaching a settlement. I would conclude by stating if you don't have Steve mediating your case then you most likely left money on the table which your client could have benefited from. - Terry M.

    Steve Williams has been a first-rate trial lawyer for many years. In the several cases on which we worked together (always on opposite sides), he was prepared, hardworking, principled, and effective. Now that Steve is working primarily as a mediator, I have been happy to use him twice and certainly will be glad to use him again. Steve connects with all kinds of people, takes a genuine interest in cases and works hard to get matters resolved. Steve also brings to the negotiating table genuine warmth and empathy for each side. That, coupled with his excellent skills as a lawyer, makes him particularly good at getting cases settled. - Dan T.

    Steve Williams represented me exceedingly well in my personal injury claim against a large and distant insurance company . His quick action preserved evidence that was imperative to my claim and otherwise would have been lost or overlooked . His negotiation with the company and its representative was business-like and firm while at the same time keeping "the door open " to reach a satisfactory settlement . I am grateful for the professional manner in which Steve Williams represented me and my claim . He has my highest recommendation regarding his professional ability and strength of character. - J. Newton

    After contacting Mr. Williams about handling my case, he was very diligent about gathering all the facts and information surrounding the accident. Mr. Williams was also steadfast during the negotiation process with the insurance companies involved. The administrative staff in his office was great to work with and very helpful with any and all questions I had throughout the process. Mr. Williams understood the severity of my injuries and made sure the final settlement was agreeable to me, especially to ensure I would be secure financially if any more procedures and/or surgeries would be required in the unforeseeable future. I am quite confident in saying he had my best interests at heart. - G. Toney

    Steve Williams is an excellent attorney. From my dealings with him that he is honest, responsible, and above all he works extremely hard for his clients. I don’t think any practicing attorney would have gotten the settlement he provided for me. If need be, and I needed a competent legal representation, I would not be hesitant to call Steve Williams to provide me with unequal legal guidance from Mr. Williams. - N. Corey
