Dispute Resolution Counsel, LLC has been selected for the 2015 Best of Wellesley Award in the category of (legal) consulting services by the Wellesley Award Program. Michael Zeytoonian, director of Dispute Resolution Counsel, LLC (DRC) and a lawyer and mediator, was pleased to learn of the award in the town where the firm has been located since it began in 2008. Michael is also Of Counsel and a former partner at Hutchings, Barsamian, Mandelcorn & Robinson LLP, which has also been located in Wellesley for nearly 20 years.
Each year, the Wellesley Award Program identifies companies that have achieved exceptional marketing success in their local community and business category. These are local companies that enhance the positive image of small business through service to their customers and their community. These exceptional companies help make Wellesley a great place to live, work and play. Various sources of information were gathered and analyzed to choose the winners in each category.
DRC is dedicated to providing proactive legal counsel and helping clients resolve their disputes by avoiding litigating and without going to court. Zeytoonian, who had litigated cases for over 20 years, began the firm to be responsive to clients’ needs to resolve disputes more efficiently. DRC’s mission is to provide other ways of resolving disputes that are less expensive, quicker and less damaging to the clients and their important business or personal relationships. “I saw how inefficient litigation was, and recognized the “collateral damage” clients were suffering as a result of protracted litigation,” Zeytoonian said. “So I looked for and trained in dispute resolution processes that offered them a better way, one in which their resources, energies and emotions would not be needlessly drained.”
“Processes like mediation, Collaborative Law and case evaluation are not adversarial; they are designed to identify the goals and needs of the clients and work by intention to achieve those goals,” Zeytoonian explains. “They also keep control of the process, the decision-making and the outcomes in the hands of the clients, and allow clients and lawyers the flexibility needed for coming up with more creative options tailored to the clients and their specific dispute,” says Zeytoonian.
The Wellesley Award Program focuses on quality, not quantity. Winners are determined based on the information gathered both internally by the Wellesley Award Program and data provided by third parties. Recognition is given to those companies that have shown the ability to use their best practices and implemented programs to generate competitive advantages and long term value. The Wellesley Award Program was established to recognize the best of local businesses in the Wellesley community. Its mission is to recognize the small business community’s contribution to the U.S. economy.
