Best Mediator in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts

Brian Jerome is the first attorney who comes to mind for me when choosing a mediator. He has settled every case that he has mediated for me. He has a excellent demeanor and clients always feel comfortable with him. He works hard to get the case settled.

Brian Jerome is the perfect choice for ADR services

As someone who has mediated hundreds of cases over the past 25 years, I can honestly state, without any hesitation, that Brian Jerome is among the best of the best. Brian provides both sides of every dispute with a comfortable and unpressured environment within which to resolve their disputes. He ha...s a wonderful mediation style that has been successful in resolving a wide range of complex cases submitted by our firm over the past 20 years.

Wonderful to work with, very fair, definite expert in his field.

Attorney Jerome was the arbitrator for my recent case. I was nervous about the hearing, but he put me at ease immediately - what a nice guy! During the arbitration, he was an attentive listener and very precise with his questioning and gave me the confidence to tell my story. Both lawyers seemed ...to enjoy working with him, and the award he gave on my case was fair to everyone. I would recommend Brian Jerome to anyone seeking a great arbitrator.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
