What Lang Xifaras & Bullard does

Lang, Xifaras & Bullard is a privately held general practice law firm headquartered at 115 Orchard Street in New Bedford, Massachusetts, founded in 1978. The firm delivers legal services across fourteen practice areas, including personal injury, workers' compensation, employment and labor law, estate planning and administration, family law, real estate, business law, litigation, consumer protection, administrative law, employee benefits, and social security disability representation. Its attorneys are admitted to practice in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New York, and the District of Columbia, enabling representation before state and federal courts as well as agencies such as the Department of Industrial Accidents, MCAD, EEOC, NLRB, and the Massachusetts Labor Relations Commission.

The firm serves a diversified client base spanning individuals and families, small to mid-size businesses in manufacturing, healthcare, banking, fishing, and construction, labor unions, municipalities, and entertainment and sports professionals. Revenue is generated through professional service fees structured as hourly billing, fixed fees, or contingency arrangements for personal injury matters, with no publicly disclosed pricing or revenue figures. Distribution is direct: clients engage the firm through its website, phone, or walk-in, and growth depends on referrals from existing clients rather than digital marketing or paid acquisition channels.

The firm has approximately nine practicing attorneys including partners Scott W. Lang, Peter C. Bullard, and John M. Xifaras, plus Of Counsel Lloyd Macdonald. Differentiating assets include the bench's collective credentials — a former three-term Mayor of New Bedford, a former Massachusetts Superior Court Associate Justice, a former Assistant U.S. Attorney, and a former Massachusetts Gaming Commissioner — which the firm markets as evidence of courtroom and agency experience. The firm has no proprietary technology platform, no AI/ML capabilities, no disclosed funding, and operates as an independent partnership with no parent company or external ownership.
