About

Raipher, P.C. is a full-service law firm based in Springfield, Massachusetts, with deep roots in the local community and a track record spanning more than three decades. Founded in 1994 and led by Attorney Raipher D. Pellegrino, the firm brings a comprehensive approach to legal representation across personal injury, complex civil litigation, business disputes, criminal defense, and family law.

In personal injury practice, Raipher has established itself as a leading advocate for injured clients throughout Springfield and Western Massachusetts. The firm has settled over 2,370 injury cases and secured more than $77 million in settlements for personal injury clients alone, with Attorney Pellegrino bringing 28 years of experience to each matter. The firm's approach reflects a deep understanding of the obstacles clients face: the critical need to preserve evidence immediately after an injury, the complexities of dealing with insurance companies, and the importance of securing proper medical care during recovery.

The firm's broader litigation experience is substantial. Raipher has recovered more than $100 million in verdicts and settlements across all practice areas, including notable results such as $35 million negotiated in the Jahn Foundry explosion case and $28 million secured for a client whose spouse died in the Big Dig tunnel collapse. This depth of experience informs how the firm approaches each case, regardless of practice area.

Raipher's downtown Springfield location—near the Springfield Central Library and directly across from the Springfield Court Office—reflects a deliberate commitment to the community it serves. The firm has represented injury victims and clients throughout the Springfield Metropolitan Area, from Forest Park to Six Corners and Agawam. That proximity matters: Raipher's attorneys navigate local courts including Massachusetts District Courts, Springfield District Court, and Hampden County Superior Court with familiarity and effectiveness. The firm understands the local insurance landscape, the medical networks that impact cases, and has developed a network of professional experts across various fields to build strong evidence.

The firm operates on a contingency-fee basis for personal injury cases, meaning clients pay nothing unless Raipher wins their case and secures compensation or a settlement. Initial consultations are free. This structure aligns the firm's interests directly with those of injured clients and removes financial barriers to seeking representation at a critical time.

Attorney Pellegrino's founding philosophy—that a lawyer's duty is to act with integrity, research every legal avenue thoroughly, understand the client's true goals, and craft a winning strategy—defines the firm's culture. Raipher approaches each matter with the conviction that every case deserves complete commitment and strategic focus, because for each client, the stakes are personal and real.
