Honorable Charles E. Poston (Ret.) Joins The McCammon Group

The Honorable Charles E. Poston, retired Judge of the Norfolk Circuit Court, has joined The McCammon Group, a leading provider of mediation, arbitration, judge pro tempore, and special master services in the mid-Atlantic region.

After more than twenty-five years of distinguished judicial service, Judge Poston has recently retired. Judge Poston served the Norfolk Circuit Court with distinction for twenty years, including three years as Chief Judge. Prior to that appointment, he served in the Norfolk Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court for six years, including four years as Chief Judge. Judge Poston was the Presiding Judge for Virginia’s first Mental Health Court and is a former member of the Boyd-Graves Conference. Before his judicial service, Judge Poston enjoyed a successful career in private practice in Hampton Roads. He also served in the United States Army Reserve, rising to the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel in the Infantry. Judge Poston now brings his distinguished record of accomplishment 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 (ADR) services including mediation, arbitration, neutral evaluation, special master, judge pro tempore, med/arb, neutral evaluation, hearing officer, fact finder, and conciliation; as well as related facilitation, training, and consulting services.  It consists of seventy-three 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.
