Juridical Solutions

What Juridical Solutions does

Juridical Solutions is a Virginia-based alternative dispute resolution (ADR) firm that delivers mediation, arbitration, and Judge Pro Tem services through a roster of approximately 20 retired Circuit Court judges. Founded in 2007 and operating as a privately held professional corporation under owner Judge Jeanette A. Irby (Ret.) since January 2023, the firm serves attorneys, law firms, and individual parties across the Commonwealth of Virginia. Its core differentiation is that every neutral is a retired judge rather than a non-judicial mediator or arbitrator, and engagements cover family law, personal injury, commercial disputes, trusts and estates, employment and Title IX matters, and discovery-related issues.

The firm operates on a usage-based hourly pricing model with rates ranging from $350 to $475 per judge depending on the neutral selected, and billings are structured per mediation or arbitration engagement rather than via retainer or subscription. Distribution is direct: a self-serve 'Schedule a Mediation' funnel on juridicalsolutions.com, a toll-free 888 line, and email intake handled by Director of Operations Carolina Edwards. No proprietary technology platform, software product, mobile app, or API is offered; downloadable ADR forms (Agreement to Mediate, Agreement to Arbitrate, Rules of Arbitration) and a forthcoming 'Calculator' tool constitute the limited digital footprint.

Revenue mechanics are entirely service-based and Virginia-bounded, with judges deployed regionally across Northern Virginia, Tidewater, Central Virginia, and the Shenandoah Valley. No funding rounds, institutional investment, parent company, subsidiaries, or M&A activity are disclosed. The firm monetizes judicial experience as a professional service, with reputational signals (AV Preeminent Martindale-Hubbell ratings, Virginia Lawyers Hall of Fame 2023, Best Lawyers, Chambers USA, Benchmark Litigation, Super Lawyers) attached to individual judges rather than to the corporate entity itself.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• Mediation Confidential ADR process in which parties work through their dispute with a neutral retired-judge mediator, avoiding the expense, stress, and uncertainty of litigation while retaining control over the resolution. Available in both facilitative and evaluative formats, with hourly rates between $350 and $475 depending on the selected judge.
• Arbitration Formal ADR process in which parties select a neutral third-party arbitrator (a retired Circuit Court judge) to resolve a dispute through discovery, hearings, testimony under oath, and a final binding decision. Marketed as more efficient and less costly than formal litigation, with parties retaining counsel throughout.
• Judge Pro Tem Judge Pro Tem (JPT) service that assigns a retired Circuit Court Judge with the same powers and duties as an elected judge under VA Code Section 17.1-110, letting parties choose their own judge for the case while retaining control over scheduling and deadlines. Retired circuit court judges are uniquely qualified to serve as JPT in Virginia litigation.
