Since 2000 Virginia Business has worked with the Virginia Bar Association in preparing the Legal Elite, an annual list of top lawyers in fifteen specialties as voted by their peers. This year, electronic ballots were sent to 11,500 lawyers in the Commonwealth. The magazine selected representatives from the top 10 “vote getters” in each category for their profiles.

The McCammon Group provides alternative dispute resolution services (ADR) including mediation, arbitration, neutral evaluation, special master, private judging, as well as related training and consulting services. It consists of seventy-three Neutrals including retired judges and practicing attorneys located throughout Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia. Since its founding in 1995, The McCammon Group has handled more than 12,000 disputes, with a mediation settlement rate of approximately 85%. 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.
