                 PAYING TRIBUTE TO TIMOTHY C. WILLIAMS

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. JON C. PORTER

                               of nevada

                    in the house of representatives

                          Tuesday, May 2, 2006

  Mr. PORTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Timothy C. Williams, 
who has been appointed by Governor Kenny Guinn to replace retiring 
District Judge John McGroarty.
  Timothy Williams has a distinguished record of service as an attorney 
in the Henderson, Nevada area. Mr. Williams has been a practicing 
attorney for the past 21 years representing physicians in medical 
lawsuits and accident victims in injury cases; Mr. Williams has also 
been a member of the Nevada bar since 1986. In recent years Mr. 
Williams has been heavily involved in alternate methods of dispute 
resolution, such as mediation and arbitration. He advocates these 
dispute resolution mechanisms as a means of decreasing court backlogs 
by increasing the likelihood that a case will be settled rather than 
going to trial.
  Mr. Williams has a degree in business from Indiana University and 
received his law degree from Ohio Northern University. He will no doubt 
be an asset to the bench.
  Mr. Speaker, I am proud to honor Timothy C. Williams for his 
distinguished legal career. I wish him the best with his new 
appointment and I am sure that he will serve the bench with honor.
