Michael Pezzulli is well known as a Dallas trial attorney who fights vigorously in court for his clients. He has obtained verdicts in the millions of dollars in medical malpractice, institutional sex abuse, 18-wheeler truck accident, and daycare child-on-child sex abuse cases, among others. His landmark 2016 Dallas domestic violence case, Maria Escamilla v. Jose Arreola, made international headlines when the jury awarded his client over $40 million – the highest domestic violence jury award in the U.S. in 2016 per verdictsearch.com, and the 44th highest jury verdict in the nation.
Pezzulli considers his client Maria Escamilla one of the most courageous people he has ever known. The identities of domestic violence victims are normally protected, but Escamilla chose to be publicly identified to send a strong message to abusers. In a CBS interview, Michael Pezzulli praised the jury for their decisive award. “I think this jury understood they had an opportunity to make a statement that could be heard throughout the country.”
Pezzulli is committed to pursuing the highest possible compensation for businesses or families navigating litigation that could impact their financial security, emotional and physical health for a lifetime. His compassion and dedication leads to a lifelong connection, with former clients often staying in touch to share news of a new home or growing family.
His tenacity has led to many incredible recoveries in jury trials and settlements in his four decades as a trial attorney.
