Plus, an interview with Hon. David S. Milton (Ret.)

Judge Milton is exceptionally well qualified to facilitate resolution of cases, and believes that irrespective of complexity and size, all cases deserve the same degree of dignity and care in handling.  He has practiced law for nearly 45 years and brings 24 years of judicial experience having handled numerous civil jury and bench trials, law & motion, including motions for summary judgment, hearings on demurrer, anti-slapp, special motions to strike, ex parte applications, judgment on the pleadings, default hearings, and discovery disputes.  He strongly believes that parties must be given a full and fair opportunity to present evidence, law, and argument, and that arbitration rulings, decisions, and awards must be based on facts, applicable law, and only after thoughtful careful reflection and consideration.

Judge Milton joined ADR Services, Inc. during April, 2014 and has handled numerous cases that were resolved through mediation and arbitration, and has served as discovery and accounting reference for complex matters.

As trial judge, mediator, and arbitrator, Judge Milton handled commercial and residential landlord tenant disputes that arose from material/non-material breaches of lease, tenant leasehold improvements, commercial use-maintenance provisions, right of first refusal, recovery future rents, express and implied warranties of habitability, on-site & off-site dangerous conditions, and impacts of civil rights, fair housing, and rent control legislation.  Recently, he video-conferenced Covid-19 impacts on Reals Estate Transactions/Landlord Tenant Protections and Regulations.

Judge Milton is an active real estate broker who engages in residential/commercial real estate sales, leasing, and property management.  He is keenly aware of duties owed and responsibilities of all parties including disputes regarding timely performance, contingency removal, escrow cancellation, earnest money deposits, property defect disclosure, and commission disputes.
