Warren Fitzgerald mediates civil cases because he loves helping people make deals and settle disputes. Almost every case he mediates settles at the mediation session. He follows the few that don't until they do settle. He has a wide range of experience successfully mediating cases of many types and in many areas including, product liability, personal injury and wrongful death, premises liability business disputes, real estate disputes, construction, labor and employment, intellectual property, professional, legal and medical malpractice, trusts and estates, admiralty and maritime, property damage, insurance coverage disputes, environmental contamination, premises liability, mass tort and class actions. With more than thirty years experience as a trial lawyer, having represented both plaintiffs and defendants, he brings something different to the table than other mediators. He handled and tried to juries many complicated cases of the same types which he now helps settle as a mediator. He began mediating cases in the 1980’s at the request of fellow trial lawyers. He then chaired and participated in court connected mediation and conciliation programs. He was President of the Massachusetts Bar Association and the Massachusetts Academy of Trial Attorneys and has lectured hundreds of times on trial practice and ADR to law schools, bar associations and continuing legal education organizations. He has been recognized for his work in the ADR field every year by the Massachusetts and New England Super Lawyer surveys and has been inducted into the National Academy of Distinguished Neutrals, a national invitation only organization of select neutrals.
