What People Are Saying
Kind regards,
I wanted to again thank you for the incredible task and endurance in dealing with such a difficult plaintiff.
It truly was an amazing feat that many were not able to accomplish. Your resiliency and experience steered Plaintiff out of the “unreasonable hemisphere”.
I hope you're well. I've been bragging on your ability to get difficult cases resolved. My partner is in need of a mediation involving a significant pressure injury. I told him about our prior experience getting similar cases resolved. He will be reaching out shortly to check availability.
Thank you for your hospitality last Thursday. You were the most gracious person and really made the time that I spent there comfortable even though the circumstances were difficult.
Your personality and willingness to make sure everything was running smoothly was appreciated. I don’t remember the other lady’s name who was assisting you but do tell her I extend my appreciation to her as well.
Marty and the rest of the firm should be proud to have you on their team.
I meant what I said yesterday about the exceptional way you made everyone so comfortable and SEEN yesterday. There were a lot of people present and you addressed them all by name. Both you and (Case Manager) Jackie (Hail) showed an ownership of your jobs that any employer would envy. I once flew on Southwest next to a VP of Operations and told her how impressed I was with how Southwest employees treated everyone. She said: “Our philosophy is to hire for attitude — we can teach and train everything else.” That simple approach was clearly used by the firm in latching onto you and Jackie. My clients and I were all really impressed and you need to know that attitude is contagious and you are a carrier. Thank you!
I highly recommend John, who is very responsive, well-liked by both sides of the bar and a consummate professional.

Florida Mediators - Orlando Mediation
In 1988, the state of Florida took the bold step of statutorily authorizing its trial court judges to procedurally require parties in litigation to participate in mediated settlement negotiations as a condition prerequisite to completing the trial process. The founders of Upchurch Watson White & Max, already heavily involved in the Florida trial court arena as judges and practitioners, embraced the new “court annexed mediation” initiative and rapidly became statewide leaders in the emerging alternative dispute resolution movement. Among the first mediators certified by the Florida Supreme Court that year, they became deeply involved in Court Committees developing procedural rules, ethical standards, and training guidelines. As their own level of experience grew with rapidly increasing caseloads, the firm’s principals also developed and administered private training programs which both increased the base of Florida mediators and helped spread the practice throughout the United States. Over 8000 mediators have now been certified in Florida where mediation has become a cornerstone in the state judicial system and Upchurch Watson White & Max is still recognized as a leader in the movement.
Indeed, Upchurch Watson White & Max mediators today enjoy a robust practice not only in Florida, but throughout the southeastern United States and nationwide. In addition to mediation, firm members provide a full range of dispute resolution services including system design, dispute review board functions, arbitration, special master, magistrate, and private judging. We welcome the opportunity to serve you and your clients in any capacity required to reach a reasonable reconciliation to resolve dispute.
