In 1994, Judge Harry McCue retired from the bench and now mediates and settles cases in all areas of the law.  His practice is based in California, but he travels all over the US and has presided over cases and arbitrations in Washington state,  Washington D.C., Utah, Nevada, Arizona, and Oregon.

In his private mediation service, he has handled numerous construction defect cases involving multi-unit buildings and commercial buildings,  ranging from single level to high rise.  He has conducted mediations in complex disputes among architects, engineers, general contractors, sub-contracts and governmental entities.  These cases involved major toxic tort and clean-up mediations involving the San Diego Bay, ground and ground water pollution, and problems created by underground storage tanks and dump sites in the states of California and Arizona.

With respect to disputes between insurer and insured, he has become quite familiar with the problems associated with insurance coverage and the insurer's obligations to indemnify and defend the insured in these complex cases.

Judge Harry McCue's engineering background and failure analysis experiences involving chemistry, physics, metallurgy and mechanical engineering have proved invaluable in facilitating the resolution of these complex matters from relatively simple accidents to complex construction defect cases and contractual disputes to interpretation of insurance matters.
