Faraci Lange

What Faraci Lange does

Faraci Lange, LLP is a plaintiff-side personal injury law firm founded in 1968 and headquartered in Rochester, New York, with a second office in Buffalo and joint-venture offices in Geneseo, Livonia, and Scottsville via The Law Offices of Peter K. Skivington PLLC. The firm operates exclusively in personal injury and related tort practice areas — car and truck accidents, motorcycle/bicycle/pedestrian accidents, medical malpractice, birth injury, defective drugs and medical devices, defective products, catastrophic injuries, premises liability, toxic chemical exposure, sexual abuse, vaccine claims, and wrongful death — and maintains no SaaS, software, or proprietary technology platform; delivery is entirely attorney-staffed legal services.

The firm runs on a contingency fee model: clients pay no upfront cost, and the firm earns a percentage of settlement or verdict only if it successfully recovers compensation. Lead generation is relationship-driven, leveraging attorney credentials (12 Super Lawyers, 11 Best Lawyers in America, 6 AV Preeminent ratings, 3 American College of Trial Lawyers members), an active educational blog, Facebook presence, client testimonials, and a toll-free intake line. The firm has secured lead-counsel and steering-committee roles in national litigation including the Hoosick Falls PFOA water contamination MDL (against Saint-Gobain and Honeywell) and the Excellus BlueCross BlueShield data breach class action, signaling capability in mass-tort plaintiff work alongside its traditional regional PI caseload.

The firm is privately held as a New York LLP, with no external institutional investors or parent company. Governance is led by Managing Partner Stephen G. Schwarz and Chief Operating Officer Katrina L. Connelly (promoted February 2016), with equity partnership including Hadley Matarazzo. The business is regional by design — Western New York is its explicit service geography — and revenue is not publicly disclosed.
