TESTIMONIALS

"Jake was, by far, the best mediator I’ve ever used. He made himself available to answer AND resolve many questions at a moment’s notice."

"I had such a great experience with Mr. Courtney who was not only highly experienced but went above and beyond to make this settlement happen. I included his name in my list of proposed mediator to defense counsel recently in another matter. Thank you."

"First time using Jake. He was unbelievable. I really look forward to working with him again."

"Amazing. Great grasp of the facts and the disputed issues. Took on a case where it appeared the parties were so far apart that settlement was not probable. Extremely patient and persistent in eventually getting the parties to agree on a global settlement. Mr. Courtney was very effective with not only the attorneys, but also with the client. We look forward to utilizing his mediation abilities again soon."

"Jake Courtney was phenomenal. He did a great job. In my 20 years, he's one of the top 5, I've mediated many 7 and 8 figure cases."

"I have been a member of the Bar for almost 40 years. Without question Mr. Courtney was one of the best mediators I have had the pleasure to work with in my entire career.."

"Mr. Courtney shows extraordinary skill in mediating cases. He is knowledgeable, approachable, and most importantly, trustworthy. I believe a successful mediation requires trust between the mediator, counsel, and the parties. Mr. Courtney will always have my trust. As a respected member of the community, I believe he has the trust of most attorneys. I look forward to working with him in the future."

"Jake really understands the legal technicalities and the nuances of the damages of severe personal injury cases. He’s also universally respected on both sides of the bar. He has this great ability to analyze the plaintiff’s case, the defendants’ case, deal with complicated insurance issues, understand the difficulties in negotiating complicated cases, and he’s just very patient."

"When Jake goes to the personal injury side and speaks to those parties, they know where he’s coming from. They know he has been there where they are, and I think they find it more compelling."

"Jake was able to talk some sense into a very inflamed situation. It didn’t settle at the mediation, but it did very soon after, largely because Jake was able to talk the plaintiff’s attorney and the plaintiff down from their lofty position. He was texting everybody, and he made a deal happen. Sometimes with these complicated cases, you need that extra push from the mediator."
