"Stevann Wilson is at the very top of my list of mediators, because she takes such an active role. What makes her unique is her expert ability to serve as a 'devil's advocate' to all parties, in a way that actually encourages compromise. Even when one or more parties appear entrenched and unwilling to negotiate, she gets the case settled."
Connie Cornell
Cornell, Smith & Mierl, L.L.P.
"Stevann Wilson is my first pick for mediator. Her professionalism, and her ability to truly communicate with all kinds of people, make her incredibly effective at diffusing and resolving sensitive disputes."
David E. Dunham
Taylor & Dunham, L.L.P.
"Stevann Wilson has mediated over 20 cases - from personal injury to employment to DTPA class actions - where I represented a party, both plaintiffs and defendants. She is an extremely effective mediator, and regardless of which party I represent, I know she will use her considerable skills and trial experience to facilitate a settlement."
Brian S. Greig
Fulbright & Jaworski, L.L.P.
"I have worked with Stevann Wilson on cases ranging from a commercial dispute over multi-million dollar contract terms, to various claims of employment discrimination and wrongful discharge, as well as deprivation of stock options. On two of the cases, to say that I felt there was little chance of settlement would be an understatement. In spite of this, Ms. Wilson's calm demeanor, probing rhetorical inquiry, and dedication to accomplishing a deal won the day."

"Stevann Wilson has successfully mediated several of my business law matters, involving complex financial transactions and hostile parties. They never would have settled but for her quick grasp of the real issues and her diplomatic persistence."

"Stevann Wilson is that special mediator I look to when all else fails. As a family lawyer, it has been my experience with Stevann that her supportive and confident attitude inspires new found confidence in my clients who might otherwise be apprehensive about the entire process. Frankly, when I really need to settle a case, Stevann is the one to call."

"I have enjoyed working with Stevann Wilson because she listens carefully, provides balanced and reasonable suggestions about how to achieve settlement, and has a manner and presence that my clients have liked."
Michael L. Slack
Slack & Davis, L.L.P.
"Stevann is as capable a mediator as she was a trial attorney. She has successfully mediated some tough cases of mine - ones I didn't think were capable of resolution."
Broadus Spivey
"I have known and worked with Stevann Wilson for over thirty years.
We have had cases against each other and she has mediated cases in which I represented one of the parties.
I recommend, without any reservation, Stevann as a mediator in your case. She is especially competent in dealing with cases involving State agencies.
Anyone who has litigated or mediated a case in which the State of Texas or a county or a city is involved knows and understands that these are among the most
difficult to ever reach an agreement on either liability or an amount of damages.
Defendants, and especially these agencies, have gained a great respect for Stevann because she understands 'the process'
and especially she understands what specific supporting information they require in order to consider a concession.
I have great respect for her because Stevann will not let you 'walk out the door' when the possibility of a resolution appears impossible.
She is so persistent, knowledgeable and so effective that both sides end up feeling that they either paid too much, or accepted too little,
but the clients feel that they got a settlement that they can accept. That is what counts."

"Stevann Wilson has shown, in all of our mediations, that she is able to quickly gain the respect of the parties in order to facilitate successful resolutions for everyone involved. The respect she garners comes from her inherent talents, her well defined integrity and professionalism, and her ability to really listen to what the parties have to say. For many of our clients, mediation is their day in court, and in order to feel good about settling, they need to feel that they were heard, and that someone genuinely cared enough to listen closely to what they had to say. Stevann not only listens intently, but speaks in a way that makes parties want to listen, which is something that not everyone can do so successfully."
