Our Alternative Dispute Resolution Practice Group (“ADR”) is co-chaired by C. Judson Hamlin, who joined PRSM&O in 1998, after a distinguished 20-year judicial career. Judd Hamlin is recognized as one of the leading mediators in New Jersey, having successfully resolved hundreds of complex litigation disputes through mediation, binding and non-binding arbitration.  

ADR is an attractive, pragmatic alternative to litigation.   In appropriate cases, ADR offers clients the opportunity to expedite resolution of disputes at a fraction of the cost of litigation.  ADR can be used to resolve limited portions of a dispute or an entire matter.   It may be employed before, during, or even after litigation, while appeals or post-trial motions are pending.
