ADR and related neutral / Special Master services is our sole business. Our attorneys maintain strict independence from any conflict of interest or partisan role.

We are committed and dedicated to creating peace by resolving civil disputes of a serious nature and facilitating the settlement of complex disputes.
Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Services
Providing ADR Services Nationwide
Judge Marina Corodemus (Ret.) was the sole Mass Tort Judge for New Jersey for ten years and ruled in many landmark pharmaceutical cases during her tenure. We have carefully selected and invited only seasoned alternative dispute resolution professionals into our firm, as this is the only way to maintain our philosophy and standards. Our law firm does not provide a telephone book of names for every civil area, nor do we associate ourselves with referral mediations in closely knitted similarly situated corporate firms.
Among Judge Corodemus’ notable cases include the following: was requested to serve as special master/adjudicator by courts in the states of California, Florida, and New York and was able to successfully resolve $60 million dollars of personal injury and property damage claims against $2 million in coverage for the Estate of New York Yankee Pitcher Corey Lidle. The case was settled without trial or appeal.
Our Outlook on ADR Services and Mediation
There was a day when lawyers spoke with one another as professionals and resolved matters with a handshake. Not too long ago, you could sit down in a room with your adversary and discuss the facts openly without the glare of Court TV, a court reporter or having to pull out your blue or black suit.
Those days still exist at Corodemus & Corodemus, L.L.C., and our practice restores the values of civility and constructive negotiation in difficult civil litigation.

We act as court-appointed third-party neutrals to hear cases involving difficult or specialized issues. Even though our experience includes class action and mass tort work with hundreds of litigants in a case, we still apply a personal and hands-on approach in our work as a third-party neutral. Our special master/adjudicator work includes fact-finding and discovery, third-party neutral, and settlement negotiation assistance.
At the court’s request or as part of a consent order, we assist in the expeditious advancement of a case to resolution. Due to her extensive experience with complex litigation management, Judge Corodemus is a frequent lecturer and CLE panel host on mass tort litigation issues.
