Springfield and Northampton Massachusetts Personal Injury Lawyers

The Lawyer-Client Relationship

The relationship between a client and a lawyer is critical to successful representation. At Alekman DiTusa, LLC, getting to know our clients and their goals is vital. We accomplish this by developing a strong, trusting relationship with our clients.

Meet our Attorneys

Attorneys Ryan Alekman and Robert DiTusa both have extensive litigation experience and worked together for three years prior to forming Alekman DiTusa, LLC, in Springfield, Massachusetts. Each attorney brings a unique set of strengths and skills to the practice. Attorney Alekman is aggressive with insurance adjusters and is an experienced negotiator. Attorney DiTusa is an experienced civil litigator who takes a detail-oriented approach to litigation. Together, they are an effective team.

Ryan Alekman is a third-generation attorney who specializes in personal injury and criminal defense. As someone who grew up surrounded by the law (his mother had her office in the house to enable her to practice law and be an involved parent), attorney Alekman knows what it means to provide service to clients. Also, attorney Alekman is fluent in Spanish. He is well known as “el abogado que habla español” or “the lawyer who speaks Spanish.”

Robert DiTusa has experience in several areas of law, having practiced in New York and Boston before moving to Springfield in 2003. More recently, he has worked as a Special State Prosecutor for the Massachusetts Attorney General. He has chosen to focus his practice on personal injury litigation. He is a firm believer in caring, personal service and uses his negotiation and litigations skills to achieve successful results for his clients.

Ryan and Rob are joined by attorney Laura Mangini, who also has significant personal injury experience and who brings a wealth of experience to the firm.  Collectively our attorneys have more than 60 years of experience in serving clients.

Client Review 5 gold stars

After my car accident last October, I felt more vulnerable than ever before. I needed a fantastic attorney to help me through a difficult time so that I could focus on healing and not worry about what would happen down the road with medical bills. A friend recommended the office of Alekman Ditusa, and I am forever grateful for that recommendation. Ryan Alekman handled my case with dedication and care. His office staff is kind, responsive, and professional. The communication I received from this team was outstanding from start to finish. I always felt like I mattered as a human being and that my case mattered. It’s a remarkable gift to confidently trust a legal team so implicitly. I could not be more thankful for Ryan, Gina, Brianna, Carmella, and I’m sure many others working behind the scenes to provide the best legal care. If you need someone to not just represent you on paper — but to really fight for you — look no further. Ryan Alekman is the real deal. This team is the best of the best.
