The Honorable Dennis W. Dohnal, retired Magistrate Judge of the United States District Court of the Eastern District of Virginia, has joined The McCammon Group (TMG), a leading provider of mediation, arbitration, Special Master, and Judge Pro Tempore services.

Magistrate Judge Dohnal served his court with distinction for more than twelve years during which he completed more than 1,000 settlement conferences.  Prior to his appointment to the bench, he had a successful and diverse private practice and was a past President of the City of Richmond Bar Association.  Previously, he served as Special Counsel to the Division of Legislative Services of the Virginia General Assembly and was a former Assistant United States Attorney.  Magistrate Judge Dohnal now brings this exemplary record of dedication and leadership to The McCammon Group to serve the mediation, arbitration, Judge Pro Tempore, and Special Master needs of lawyers and litigants throughout the Commonwealth and beyond.

Since 1995 The McCammon Group has provided alternative dispute resolution services (ADR) including mediation, arbitration, neutral evaluation, Special Master, and Judge Pro Tempore for all kinds of disputes; as well as related facilitation, training, and consulting services.  It consists of seventy-five Neutrals including retired judges and practicing attorneys located throughout Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia.  Importantly, throughout this time The McCammon Group has achieved a settlement rate of approximately 85% in its mediation work.  The McCammon Group is committed to the proposition that ADR processes provide individuals, as well as public and private entities, with many substantial benefits including effective and prompt resolution of disputes, self determination, cost savings, timeliness, flexibility, and confidentiality.
