Cordes, Samuel J.

Raipher D. Pellegrino, a Founder of Denner Pellegrino, LLP, Counselors At Law, is known as a charismatic and strategically artful litigator and business negotiator. He is recognized by his clients and colleagues as a tireless advocate for his clients and their goals. With an innate ability to "think outside the box," Mr. Pellegrino is not satisfied unless he has represented each and every client to the best of his ability and obtained the best possible result.

Mr. Pellegrino has been recognized as a Massachusetts Lawyer of the Year 2002 by Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly and by Super Lawyers of Massachusetts and Boston Magazine in 2004. He has appeared on CNN and MSNBC commenting on trial strategies.

A former two-term Springfield City Counselor, Attorney Pellegrino recognizes the relationship between government and the private sector, and has the experience necessary to reconcile the two interests.

Raipher believes that representing clients requires for both the client and the attorney a sense of the heart of Theodore Roosevelt who stated, "The credit belongs to the man [woman] who is actually in the arena who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Attorney Pellegrino received a JD from Suffolk University Law School, graduated cum laude from the University of Massachusetts at Lowell with a B.A. in Political Science, and minors in Economics and Philosophy, and was admitted to the Massachusetts Bar in 1992.
