Hon. Johanna L. Fitzpatrick (Ret.) Receives the VTLA Distinguished Service Award

Excerpt from the VTLA’s 48th Annual Convention Program:

The Honorable Johanna L. Fitzpatrick
She has worked as a legal aid lawyer, a lawyer in private practice, and served as a Juvenile & Domestic Relations District Court Judge, a Circuit Court Judge, a Court of Appeals of Virginia Judge, and a Chief Judge of the Court of Appeals of Virginia. She has been recognized as the Virginia Woman of Achievement in Government, as the Outstanding Woman Attorney of the Year in Virginia, and as Woman of the Year by both the Fairfax Commission on Women and the Virginia Women’s Attorney’s Association. She has taught trial and appellate advocacy, chaired standards committees, written white papers and other major policy initiatives, acted as a mediator, and has been a champion of judicial independence. With her husband Charles H. Fitzpatrick, she has also raised two sons. We are pleased to honor the remarkable Johanna L. Fitzpatrick.

WHAT LAWYERS AND LITIGANTS ARE SAYING:

  • "The mediator was essential to injecting reality into discussions."

  • "A truly excellent job; patient, thorough and helpful in evaluating options."

  • "Scheduling was easy, prompt and efficient."

  • "The mediator was extremely prepared, compassionate, and determined to assist the parties with reaching a resolution."

  • "We were able to settle a highly contentious case after years of litigation just a few weeks before trial."

  • "Great communication and easy to deal with. Excellent all around."

  • "The mediator was fair and understood how to convey the weakness of a case without being judgmental."

  • "I have always been favorably impressed by the Neutrals at The McCammon Group."

  • "The mediator handled a very difficult mediation with patience and humor."

  • "Extraordinary skill and persistence in successfully mediating a very difficult case."

  • "Very efficient and courteous."

  • "Sometimes the human side of these cases leaves the practical side and they seem impossible to settle. Your "never give up" attitude carried the day."

  • "You have rendered invaluable service to me and my clients in the past, and we will continue to call upon you in the future when the need for a highly-skilled professional mediator arises."

  • "The depth and quality of the available mediators is exceptional."

  • "It is always great to use McCammon instead of litigation!"

  • "The quality of your panel members allows choice and comfort in the knowledge that your matter will be fully and fairly heard and resolved."
