Tom is recognized by Chambers and Partners USA, America’s Leading Lawyers for Business® in the category of Michigan Litigation: Mediators for his extensive experience resolving complex commercial, insurance, and employment disputes; and by Michigan Super Lawyers, listed in the Top 10 out of more than 35,000 Michigan lawyers (2025-26).
I am deeply committed to fair and reasonable resolutions determined through principled negotiations.

As mediator, I focus on building trust with clients and counsel. I fully engage client decision makers as the single most important factor in a successful mediation. I am deeply committed to fair and reasonable resolutions determined through principled negotiations – rooted in factual and legal merits and litigation and business risk, but over which parties and their counsel do not agree.
After moving from a long career as a courtroom litigator with a top national law firm, I transitioned into mediation and founded McNeill ADR in 2022. I have presided over more than 250 mediations. I am not a high volume mediator – I focus on complex commercial disputers (often high value/high stakes/; but with interest and availability in a wide range of commercial disputes.

I created a resource area where you can find helpful information, such as my fee/rate schedule, CV/Resume, and helpful directions to my office space, including parking information, and more.
