Boston Dispute Resolution Services provides timely and cost-
effective mediation and other ADR services for the resolution of
legal, insurance, business, and domestic disputes. These
services include mediation, divorce mediation, conciliation, case
evaluation, and business facilitation.
Michael A. Pezza Jr., a Boston trial and business lawyer with
more than 30 years of experience, founded BDRS in 2008 as
an adjunct to his law practice. In addition to BDRS and his law
practice, Michael is a member of the adjunct faculty at
Northeastern University School of Law, and is an attorney
member of the Online Media Legal Network at Harvard Law
School's Berkman Center.
In his law practice, Michael has represented plaintiffs and
defendants, including businesses ranging from sole
proprietorships to Fortune 100 companies, in a variety of
matters. These have included routine business disputes and
personal injury claims, employment and workplace disputes,
real estate and land use disputes, intellectual property and
media matters, serious personal injury and death claims,
major property losses, bad faith and unfair practices, and multi-
million dollar, multi-party, complex business, construction,
product liability, and insurance cases.
While many such disputes were resolved in court by motion,
trial, or appeal, most were resolved through negotiated
settlements. Over the years, Michael and his clients
increasingly turned to mediation as a way to reach such
settlements, particularly in complex, multi-party cases.
Although most of those mediations led to a resolution, in some
instances the process itself was frustrating or unsatisfying.
Michael’s belief that mediation participants deserve more than
the “arm twisting” or “splitting the difference” that too often
characterize “old school” mediation led him to explore different
mediation styles and processes.
A better way
While mediation and most other services at BDRS (case
evaluation being an obvious exception) primarily use a
facilitative model of mediation (derived in part from concepts
developed at the Harvard Negotiation Project), the process is
tailored as needed to meet the needs of the parties in an
efficient and productive manner.
Michael brings a balanced view and unique, practical
perspective to his dispute resolution services, drawing on what
he found to be most successful in his own ADR experiences as
a litigator, while seeking to enhance the overall process and
maximize satisfaction of those using the services provided by
BDRS.
