How we can help you
Dunn & Phillips, P.C. has served Western Massachusetts since 1988, from offices in Springfield and Westfield and a real estate closings office in Springfield. Most of our work is personal injury and wrongful death: car, truck and motorcycle crashes, falls, dog bites, construction and workplace injuries, and medical malpractice, with every case prepared as if it will be tried. We also represent buyers and sellers at real estate closings, prepare wills, trusts, powers of attorney and health care proxies, and guide families through probate.

How our practice areas connect
Personal injury is the heart of the firm. Around it, legal problems rarely stay in one place: a house passes through an estate, an estate ends up in court, and an injury claim can become a lawsuit. The same firm takes on each step.
