About Sidebar Solutions

  • Our Purpose

    Litigants and courts are increasingly turning to Alternative Dispute Resolution (“ADR”) as a time-saving, cost-effective way to resolve disputes. Sidebar Solutions was founded to meet that need by providing high-quality, efficient ADR services across a broad range of legal matters.

  • How We Work

    All individuals listed for mediation and arbitration services are independent contractors and serve as independent associated members of Sidebar Solutions. Each retired judge may be contacted directly and retained individually or as a group to assist in resolving legal disputes of any level of complexity.

  • Who We Are

    Established in 2023 by retired New Jersey Superior Court Judges Thomas C. Miller and Michael F. O’Neill, both widely respected for their experience on the bench. They were soon joined by former Vicinage XIII colleagues Julie M. Marino, Steven B. Rubin, and Kevin M. Shanahan, each bringing extensive ADR knowledge and litigation support expertise.

  • What We Offer

    Our members provide a full complement of ADR services, including:

    - Mediation
