Mike
Amis began his private law practice in Oakland, California in
1971, returning to Dallas where he continued a civil litigation practice
representing clients in most, if not all, the types of matters pending in
our civil courts. He has
mediated over 1,500 cases and has helped spread the good news of
Dallas-style mediation to attorneys and courts in several states
around the country.
Mike was a founding director of the Association of Attorney-Mediators,
serving as President of that
organization in 1991 and chair of
its Seed Group Program which conducted trainings of experienced
attorneys invited to be the first in their cities and states to bring the
art of mediation to counsel and clients in their jurisdictions. He is a
frequent speaker on mediation topics to local and state bar associations.
He has been recognized three times as a “Texas Super Lawyer” and
twice by Woodward and White as among the “Best Lawyers in America.”
Amis has conducted in-house trainings for Federal Reserve Bank, the
FDIC, Chevron Corporation as well as the Texas College of Advanced
Judicial Studies and a variety of law firms.
In 1998, Mike received
“The
Brutsche Award” from the Association of Attorney-Mediators.

HIS CLIENTS SAY:
“Mr. Amis did an outstanding job as a mediator. He was very persistent and hard working. He was also very patient and pleasant to be around.”
“Amis is the best mediator in Dallas and maybe the state.”
Mr. Amis has an excellent demeanor and personality for his work.”
“One of the reasons that I continue to use Mike Amis is because he understands the construction issues and because he really pursues resolution of the case, even if it means caucusing the parties days, weeks and even months after the session. I have found this particular aspect of his practice invaluable.”
“Mike is very proactive, and I think that’s the way it should be in order for mediation to be successful.”
