Hon. Marc D. Gross (Ret.) Joins ADR Services, Inc.
ADR Services, Inc. is proud to announce the addition of Hon. Marc D. Gross (Ret.) to its panel of distinguished neutrals.
Judge Gross is a highly effective dispute resolution professional with more than 40 years of legal experience, including over a decade on the bench and a distinguished career as a civil litigator. He is best known for what ultimately matters to clients: he gets difficult cases settled.
During his tenure as a Mandatory Settlement Conference (MSC) Judge in the West District of Los Angeles, Judge Gross handled over 500 settlement conferences, many involving complex, high-stakes disputes where parties were deeply entrenched. His consistent ability to move cases toward resolution, often at critical pre-trial stages, has made him a trusted resource for attorneys seeking a neutral who can break impasse and deliver results.
Judge Gross brings a rare combination of judicial authority, litigation depth, and practical strategy. Before joining the bench, he spent more than 30 years representing clients in a wide range of civil matters, including business disputes, personal injury, real estate, probate, and complex tort litigation. His background includes extensive trial, motion, and appellate work, giving him a comprehensive understanding of how cases are evaluated, argued, and ultimately decided.
This broad perspective allows Judge Gross to provide clear, credible assessments of risk—the kind that both attorneys and clients take seriously. He is known for his ability to quickly identify the core issues in dispute, evaluate exposure, and communicate the realities of trial in a way that drives decision-making.
