W. R. (Bill) Armstrong graduated cum laude in 1977 from Stetson University in DeLand, Florida with a B.A. in English.
Following undergraduate school, I attended Wake Forest College of Law and graduated with honors in 1980.
Upon graduation, I began practice with the firm of Landis, Graham, French, Husfeld, Sherman & Ford, P.A., and practiced there from 1980-1991. In 1991, I organized my own practice in association with Chobee Ebbets under the name of Ebbets & Armstrong. In 1999, Timothy Traster joined the firm now known as Ebbets, Armstrong & Traster.
Throughout my 25 years of practice, I have specialized in civil trial work, primarily insurance defense. I have also practiced in the fields of medical malpractice and commercial litigation. I was defense counsel for State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company in Volusia County from 1980-1997. I am past President of the Volusia County Civil Trial Attorneys Association. I have continued to be a member of the ABA and the trial lawyers division of that organization. I have been Board Certified in Civil Trial practice since 1990. I am admitted to practice in all Federal Courts of the State. In 1994, I became a Certified Mediator in the Circuit Court, Volusia County, Florida. In 2005, I divested myself of the remainder of my civil litigation practice to become a full time circuit civil mediator.
My hourly rate is $250.00 with a minimum of one hour billed to each of two parties. I have found that the majority of my mediations are completed within a two hour time frame. I typically schedule a morning and an afternoon mediation which allows for additional time to complete the mediation if necessary. Upon request I am amenable to scheduling shorter mediations or booking an all day mediation. I offer my office at5131 Ridgewood Avenue, Suite G, Port Orange, for mediations. I will also conduct mediations in attorney's offices or other sites within a geographical area ranging from Jacksonville to the north, Orlando to the west, and Brevard County to the south. On request I will entertain doing mediations at further distances. Available mediation dates may be obtained at my website at wrarmstrongpa.com, or by phone at 386-322-0190 . Scheduling by phone may require that I return calls in the afternoons or by the following day. My cancellation policy is that a charge of $250.00 will be made for a cancellation that occurs less that five (5) business days prior to mediation with the exception of emergencies or trial.
The person(s) responsible for payment of my charges for mediation services are the person(s) with whom the mediation is scheduled, and not the parties to a lawsuit or the client of any attorneys with whom the mediation is scheduled. I look to the attorney or other person with whom the mediation is scheduled to ultimately make payment for my services. I have no problem with an attorney or other responsible person seeking to have his/her client pay the mediation bill initially, but in event the client or party does not make payment, the attorney or other responsible party must meet the obligation for my charges that comes with scheduling a mediation with me. By scheduling a mediation with my office the attorneys or other person with whom the mediation is scheduled are agreeing to the above terms of payment. Please do not schedule with me if such terms are not agreeable.
