The Honorable Michele D. Hotten (Ret.) has joined The McCammon Group, a leading provider of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) services in the mid-Atlantic.

The Honorable Michele D. Hotten recently retired after nine years of distinguished service as a Justice on the Supreme Court of Maryland.  She previously served as a Judge on the Court of Special Appeals of Maryland and as an Associate Judge on the Circuit Court for Prince George’s County.  Before her service on the bench, Justice Hotten enjoyed a successful law practice and served as an Assistant State’s Attorney for Prince George’s County, the Examiner in Chancery for Prince George’s County, and was the Deputy People’s Zoning Counsel for Prince George’s County.   A Fellow of the Maryland Bar Foundation, Justice Hotten is a Past President of the J.

Franklyn Bourne Bar Association’s President’s Award in recognition of her outstanding contributions.  Justice Hotten now brings this exceptional record of leadership and accomplishment to The McCammon Group to serve the mediation, arbitration, and special master needs of lawyers and litigants in Maryland, DC, and beyond.

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.
