Bulkley Richardson, with offices in Springfield, Boston and Amherst, Massachusetts, provides high-quality legal services addressing a broad range of sophisticated matters. Founded in the 1920s, our firm's standard of excellence is built upon the quality of our lawyers, support staff and physical and technological resources.

With over 40 lawyers, we emphasize personal contact with clients and efficient, cost-effective service and understand that our clients' objectives determine legal strategies, not vice versa.

We have an interest in long-term client relationships and appreciate each client's desire for cost-effective representation. We seek to maintain a reputation for specializing in client service and satisfaction. We commit ourselves to those objectives, and utilize our talent, experience, energy, common sense and integrity to meet them effectively and efficiently.

We have a team of exceptionally talented attorneys and staff with a reputation for high quality legal work. We understand that we need to earn this reputation every day, on every matter, for every client. Our departments and practice groups are made up of lawyers with excellent academic credentials, substantial experience, the respect of colleagues and courts and a pragmatic approach to problem solving. We combine our abilities with our commitment to client service to ensure the quality our clients deserve.

We cherish and work hard to maintain our reputation as a firm committed to the communities in which our clients and we live and work. As a firm and individually, we actively participate in professional, civic, political, educational, social service and cultural organizations and causes. As legal counselors, board members, volunteers and supporters, we are proud to help many organizations and institutions in their efforts to improve the quality of life in our communities.
