 "Jim is an amazing Mediator" Plaintiff Tuolumne County Superior Court July 23, 2010

 

Hello Jim,

it has been a long journey for sure.  I appreciate your saying all that and it really was a pleasure working with both you and Ed.  I have a great appreciation for all that you both did for us.  It really is evident that you do the job that you do because you care about others.  Please extend my gratitude to Ed as well.  Defendant June 2010

 

 

Jim just mediated a disagreement between me and another party.  Fascinating process.  Instead of the antagonistic process you feel in small claims, we both shared our concerns, asked questions and Jim facilitated us to both understand the other's viewpoint. May 2010 Plaintiff

 

 

Jim oversaw a small claims case for our company at the Tuolumne County Superior Court.  I had past experiences with mediation, and going in I was convinced that it would not be successful.  Because of Jim's knowledge and ability to listen, we were able to come to a resolution without the court's involvement.  I highly recommend him for mediation in a Real Estate or Landlord Tenant dispute.  Thanks Jim!

"Jim's extensive knowledge and experience in real estate is invaluable in the mediation process.  Coupled with his expert mediation skills, he is able to quickly assess the issues and assist parties in resolving real estate and property disputes."

Ed Johnson Attorney at Law May 2010

 

 

 

Not relishing the thought of a trial, Jim Hildreth was selected as our mediator. Jim’s unbiased approach encouraged both parties to communicate the issue background and their concerns. Jim researched and presented information pertinent to the issue which was helpful in reaching an equitable resolution. His communication style encouraged both parties to reach common ground. The issue was resolved in mediation. I am satisfied with the settlement and I believe that is true of the other party. Plaintiff July 2009

 

 

 

Jim Hildreth mediated a dispute involving mining easements.  He started the mediation with a positive attitude that this case can be resolved through mediation.  He was a good listener while allowing both sides to briefly state their case and monitored the peaceful exchange bewtween the parties.  The parties arrived at a perameter of a settlement at the first meeting and adjourned to look at the easement in the field.  After the plaintiff saw the actual width and terrain of the easement the parties were able to settle the issues.  Jim also did some investigative research that help determine the width of the road.  This is the second mediation with Jim Hildreth and will use him again.  Guy Reynolds, Lawyer July 2009

Went into this mediation thinking that this was just a waste of time and money and that there was no way that anyone could make me agree to pay the planitiff any money as I had not done anything wrong.  I was looking at owing the opposing side $100,000.00 plus attorney fees. Jim was able to mediate a $25,000.00 settlement which was agreeable with all parties involved.

 
I would like to thank you Jim for your splendid job of mediation and saving me and my wife thousands of dollars. Now I can put this past me and look to the future. 
 
D Roberts Contractor  Modesto June 2009

 

 

"I was immediately impressed with Jim's communication abilities, from my first conversation with him.  I have conducted hundreds of mediations on behalf of litigants in my 18-year career as a lawyer.  I must say that Mr. Hildreth was one of the best mediators with whom I have ever had the pleasure of working.  The reason is simple: his knowledge of real estate is undeniable, he applies common sense to the negotiation process and he knows how to encourage the parties to find common ground.  I will definitely use him again." Wallace C Doolittle Attorney for Plaintiff  May 2009
 
 

 

 

 "I was initially reluctant to agree to have Jim act as the mediator in the real estate broker's breach of fiduciary duties lawsuit in which I was counsel for the defendant real estate agent. I was quickly disabused of my reluctance and viewpoint. Jim was extremely knowledgeable and thoughtful and competent. With his wealth of experience as a real estate agent and broker, Jim was able to focus on the minutae of details and facts, which in turn provided insight to my client, to assist him in settling the lawsuit.

   I would not hesitate to hire Jim to act as the mediator in a similar dispute. He was excellent and skilled."

I'm glad that we decided to use Jim's skills and services as a mediator. He allows both sides to state their case, listens to what is being said and clarfies by asking questions, then summarizies what he has heard. If fairness is what you are looking for, look no further. BD- Sacramento January 2008

"I want to say thank you for all you have done. I am amazed at how well you do your job. I have met too many so called professionals that were less than reasonable. You have a tremendous God given talent for talking with people. I truely thought this was going to be a brick wall meeting at best. I am glad that I was wrong." MH Plaintiff  December 2007
