Litigation attorneys

Pezzulli Barnes

The firm on this record now presents itself as the Law Office of Michael F. Pezzulli, a boutique civil law firm in Dallas. It represents individuals, business owners, corporations, and institutions in the Dallas/Fort Worth area and across Texas in civil lawsuits and appeals.

Subject matter includes real estate and property disputes, complex commercial and business litigation, banking, mortgage, securities fraud and breach of fiduciary duty claims, professional malpractice, deceptive trade practices claims, catastrophic personal injury and medical malpractice, institutional abuse cases, and family law. The practice also offers mediation as an alternative to trial, and the firm cites Dallas Mediation Project figures putting the mediated settlement rate at 83% against a national courtroom settlement rate of 60%.

The practice was founded in 1980 and its founding attorney has been Board Certified in Civil Trial Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization since 1986 and served as an examiner for that board. The firm notes that fewer than 1% of Texas attorneys hold that certification, which requires character screening, coursework, an examination, and recertification every five years. Reported results include a 2016 Dallas domestic violence verdict described as the largest in U.S. history.

The office is at 8111 Lyndon B Johnson Fwy, Suite 985, Dallas, TX 75251, and the firm lists counties served across Texas including Dallas, Collin, Denton, Tarrant, Harris, Travis, and Williamson. Fees are not published; the contact form invites inquiries about services and fees.

Best for

Texas owners, lenders, and partners who need a first-chair trial lawyer for a real estate, partnership, commercial, or banking dispute, or a mediator; this is a general civil practice, not a real-estate-only litigation shop.
