Mediator
Excellent Mediator
I just had a mediation with Bill and I cannot be any happier with his work. This was a claim for overtime and the parties were absolutely set in their ways and nowhere close to a settlement. Bill was instrumental in getting the parties to reach an agreement that was fair for everyone involved. I would not hesitate to recommend Bill as a mediator and I look forward to mediating all of my employment claims with him.

Dear Bill,
Thank you again for your consummate professionalism. You are truly an excellent mediator; I am confident we would not have inked a deal without your assistance. Additionally, I want to thank you for making my clients feel so comfortable in such an uncomfortable moment in their lives. It takes a person of high moral character to be able to put people at ease the way you do. I know [my clients] appreciated it; so did I.
I look forward to working with you on mediations in the future, whenever the need arises.
Best regards,
Lisa Torelli McCue, Esquire
Mediator Who Resolves
I was fortunate Bill Sussman successfully mediated and resolved my real estate fraud lawsuit. Bill’s vast litigation experience served my client well to bring contentious parties together. Bill listens, is patient, and provides a dose of reality perspective that enabled the parties to reach the finish line. I look forward to my next mediation conference with Bill.

Excellent Mediator
Bill Sussman is an excellent mediator. He mediated a large case for me with several parties. Bill took the time to reach out to each party well in advance of the mediation to feel out everyone’s position. As a result, and this is the only time I’ve ever seen this, Bill brought the parties to a resolution before the date the meeting was set to occur. Thanks for being a tremendous and professional professional.

I have had a number of mediations with Bill Sussman and he has been wonderful in each and every one. He has a way of making people at ease so that they are open to negotiating their positions. So far he is batting 1,000 with our office, every case we have mediated with him has settled. I highly recommend him for anyone who needs a good mediator.

I have had the great pleasure of having Mr. Sussman serve as a mediator for several foreclosure cases in South Florida. He has consistently served to assist litigants and their counsel to work towards a viable solution while taking the independent issues into consideration. Mr. Sussman offers years of real estate expertise and is a cornucopia of knowledge in this area of law. Mr. Sussman will work with all parties involved until a common ground is achieved and a settlement is finalized. If he can’t assist the parties in resolving their dispute then the case was probably destined for lots of unnecessary litigation from the start. I would strongly recommend Bill Sussman to any party that is in need of a commericial mediator.

I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Sussman in the fall of 2011. I had asked a colleague of mine for a referral to an experienced and sophisticated commercial mediator to handle what I thought to be a rather unique mediation. The mediation was unique in that it involved approximately 20 attorneys and 44 individual defendants that were litigants in a pending foreclosure matter in Miami-Dade County, Florida, and ulitmately the distribution of funds which were being interplead into the Court Registry. My belief was that by aggresive and timely efforts from a mediator, the parties could come to a global resolution thereby negating the need for discovery and trial, which would only serve to deplete funds.
Mr. Sussman accomplished exactly what I envisioned, and perhaps more. He was able to comprehend the facts timely and took an aggresive and proactive approach to tring to mashall all of the parties to a global settlement. Incredibly, this was accomplished without the need for having an actual sit-down mediation, which once again would have further depleted the funds available, thus lessening the full amounts available to the respective parties. I found Mr. Sussman to be responsive yet firm with all the litigants’ attorneys. Through his efforts, a successful outcome was reached, one which I am not sure many mediators in today’s market would have been able to accomplish.
Thank you, Bill.

I had the pleasure of working with Bill during my time as Program Manager for the RMFM Program in the 19th Circuit. I have always found Bill to be a wonderful mediator. He was always clear, impartial and thorough in his mediations. I would not hesitate to work with him again.

Bill Susman is an excellent mediator. He’s patient and has the real ability to see the broader wants and needs of the litigants. This view allow him to bring people together. He does this in a non-confrontational, non-judgmental way. He has a unique insight into complex real estate disputes. Thank you very much for the time and effort you’ve offered to my clients.

Bill is a terrific mediator. There are two types of mediators, in my experience: (a) a conduit, who just relays offers and counteroffers back-and-forth, and tries to nudge the parties together; and (b) a mediator who tells the parties what he or she thinks of their positions, and has the credibility to make a party recognize, and account, in their settlement positions, for weaknesses in their case. The latter is the type of mediator I want, and that’s the type of mediator that Bill is. I’ve been a civil litigator in Florida since around 1996, and I enthusiastically recommend Bill as a mediator for your civil litigation cases.
