Case Highlights

When Michael Pezzulli represented six victims in a sexual abuse lawsuit against a religious institution, the settlements he won were exponentially higher than the settlements awarded to the plaintiffs in a similar class action case.

Pezzulli famously fought for, and won, Marina Oswald’s right to exhume Lee Harvey Oswald’s body to conclusively prove his identity, disproving years of conspiracy theories.

And the Dallas Morning News reported that the stunning 40 million dollar jury verdict Pezzulli obtained in 2016 for Maria Escamilla, the Dallas victim of a brutal assault by a former boyfriend, was the highest jury award for a domestic violence case in the United States that year, and the 44^th highest jury verdict in the United States for 2016. Although the defendant may never receive monetary compensation, the landmark victory was a highly publicized line in the sand for violent offenders. She courageously chose to reveal her identity and forgo her right to privacy, and has become a passionate advocate for victims of domestic violence.
