Orange County, Calif. – JAMS, the largest private provider of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) services worldwide, is pleased to announce the addition of Hon. Franz E. Miller (Ret.). Judge Franz Miller joined JAMS after 16 years of service on the Orange County Superior Court. His tenure at the court was equally divided between the Family Law Panel and the Civil Law Panel, where he was supervising judge during the last two years of that assignment.
Judge Franz Miller handled thousands of matters, tried more than 500 contested cases and settled many cases that were destined for trial. He served as settlement officer on highly contested matters. The superior court’s settlement program afforded him the ability to focus on case dynamics and to resolve cases that might otherwise have moved on to lengthy, expensive trials.
Based in the Orange County Resolution Center, Judge Franz Miller will serve as an arbitrator, mediator and special master in a variety of practice areas, including appellate, business/commercial, construction, employment, family law, personal injury/torts, professional liability and real property.
Judge Franz Miller is known for his ability to resolve matters in an efficient and practical manner. He is an active member of the Orange County legal community, and we’re eager to see his business flourish as a neutral at JAMS.

Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to resolve many disputes for parties. Becoming a neutral at JAMS is the ideal path for me at this point in my career. I’m looking forward to continue doing work that I enjoy, in a community and state that I am proud to call home.
