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

The Honorable John Brown recently retired as Chief Judge of the 1st Judicial Circuit Court of Virginia after fourteen years of distinguished judicial service to the City of Chesapeake. Prior to his judicial service, Judge Brown enjoyed a successful private practice for twenty-eight years, serving as both plaintiff’s and civil defense counsel. He also served the City of Chesapeake as Deputy Commonwealth’s Attorney, Commissioner of Accounts, and Commissioner in Chancery for Divorce and Equity Matters. Among his many credentials, Judge Brown is a former President of the Chesapeake Bar Association, former Chairman of the Chesapeake Board of Directors for TowneBank, and a former member of the Board of Directors for the Virginia Sports Hall of Fame and Museum. He now brings this record of excellence and achievement 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-two 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.
