The Hon. Joseph W. Milam, Jr. (Ret.) has joined The McCammon Group, a leading provider of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) services in the mid-Atlantic region.

The Honorable Joseph W. Milam, Jr. recently retired after twenty-three years of distinguished judicial service on the bench of the 22nd Judicial Circuit Court of Virginia (City of Danville), including two terms as Chief Judge. Prior to the bench, Judge Milam enjoyed a successful career in private practice, litigating a wide range of civil cases. He is a Past President of the Danville Bar Association and the Former Judicial Representative on the Joint Alternative Dispute Resolution Committee of the Virginia Bar Association and the Virginia State Bar. Judge Milam has served his community on various boards and committees, including as a member of the Executive Committee of the United Way of Danville, as President of the Goodwill Industries of Danville Area, Inc., and as a Chairperson for the Danville Area Chamber of Commerce. Judge Milam now brings this record of dedication and accomplishment to The McCammon Group to serve the mediation, arbitration, judge pro tempore, and special master needs of lawyers and litigants throughout the Commonwealth.

Since 1995 The McCammon Group has provided ADR services including mediation, arbitration, special master, ombuds, and judge pro tempore. It consists of eighty-six Neutrals including retired judges and practicing attorneys located throughout Virginia, DC, and Maryland. 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.
