He graduated Magna Cum Laude from Suffolk University in 2014, where he was a member of the Suffolk University Law Review, represented indigent criminal defendants as a Rule 3:03 student attorney for the Suffolk Defenders Clinic, and served as Magister/President of Phi Delta Phi (Legal Honor Society).. Attorney Rodden represents clients in Employment Law and Personal Injury. His Employment Law practice focuses on Discrimination, Wrongful Termination, Sexual Harassment, Medical Leave, Reasonable Accommodations, and Unpaid Wages. He was drawn to employment law because he spent several years in a local labor union prior to completing his undergraduate degree and has many family members who were active members of various labor organizations. This motivated Attorney Rodden to zealously advocate for employees’ rights in his practice, a goal he continually strives towards. The main focus of Attorney Rodden’s Employment Law practice is the representation of employees who were wrongfully terminated based on discrimination or various violations of Massachusetts and Federal statutes, such as the Massachusetts Paid Family & Medical Leave Act (PFMLA), the Federal Family & Medical Leave Act (FMLA), Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 151B (Massachusetts’ Antidiscrimination Statute), the Massachusetts Wage Act, the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act and other anti-discrimination and anti-retaliation statutes. Attorney Rodden has represented hundreds of clients in workplace disputes, and he has consistently obtained favorable results for his clients.. Attorney Rodden’s Personal Injury Practice focuses on General Liability (Slip and Fall, Falling Objects, and Negligence), Traffic Accidents (Automobile, Bicycle, Truck, Pedestrian, and Motorcycle), Assault and Battery, Products Liability, and Chemical Exposures. Attorney Rodden began working on Personal Injury cases early in his career, but his focus on Personal Injury law grew after he suffered a series of personal injuries due to the negligence of third parties. Attorney Rodden’s experience as a victim of injuries caused by the negligence of third parties strengthened his resolve and fortified his dedication to achieving the best possible results for his Clients.

My name is Paul Toland and I practice Criminal Defense and Immigration. I am an experienced trial attorney and I started my career as an Assistant District Attorney prosecuting those charged with crimes for about 3 years. I had the opportunity to hone my skills in the courtroom and tried over 100 cases. Since leaving the District Attorney's Office, I worked in two law firms practicing Immigration and Criminal Defense in the private sector. I practice before the District and Superior courts of Massachusetts as well as the Immigration court located in downtown Boston by my office.. Concerning my Immigration practice, I handle all matters before the Immigration Court and United States Citizenship and Immigration Services. I handle matters such as Removal Defense, Asylum, Cancellation of Removal, Adjustment of Status, Naturalization, Special Immigrant Juveniles, Nonimmigrant visas, Consular Processing, and Employment Immigration.. Criminal Defense and Immigration intertwine a lot and I have helped dozens of clients vacate their criminal convictions in order to save them from being deported for a criminal conviction. There are certain crimes such as aggravated felonies and crimes of moral turpitude that will render someone to mandatory deportation, permanent exclusion from admission, and ineligibility for naturalization.. Additionally, I am a very experienced OUI/DUI/DWI attorney having handled hundreds of these types of cases in combination as a prosecutor and criminal defense attorney. I know the angles in how the prosecution will prosecute the case as I used to be the one on the other side. There are many defenses I can use in an OUI case and you need someone with experience such as myself to help you navigate through this difficult time.. I also handle any criminal defense charges ranging from misdemeanors to serioius felonies. I have represented clients charged with attempted murder, drug crimes, sex crimes, domestic violence, crimes of violence, weapons charges, theft crimes, breaking and entering, and motor vehicle offenses.

My focus is on family law, collaborative law, divorce mediation, and care and protection matters. I believe that family law is the most important and rewarding area of law in which a lawyer can practice. It is also an area of law in which clients need experienced, skilled, and compassionate representation to help them navigate the process.. I have practiced law for over 24 years and I am admitted to the bar in both Massachusetts and New York. In addition to family law, my background includes experience in landlord/tenant, real estate and intellectual property matters (focus on artists, museums and non-profits). In 2001, I was formally trained as a mediator.. I am on the Board of Directors of the Massachusetts Council for Family Mediation, a member of the Massachusetts Collaborative Law Council, the Massachusetts Bar Association, the Massachusetts Guardianship Association, the Massachusetts Juvenile Bar Association and the New England Association for Conflict Resolution. I graduated from Whittier College School of Law (J.D.) and Boston University (B.S.).. I help my clients transition through divorce with confidence.

My focus is intellectual property litigation and counseling, general commercial litigation, telecommunications, and securities and private equity-related litigation. I've litigated a wide range of cases on issues of concern to intellectual property owners and users including: international and domestic copyright infringement; patent and design patent infringement; trade secret disputes; trademark and trade dress infringement; breaches of entertainment industry contracts; counterfeiting; and false advertising.. My commercial litigation experience includes representing telecommunications providers in inter-carrier disputes; representing investor funds, directors and companies in lawsuits involving fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, and violation of federal and state regulations; representing insurance industry participants and regulators; representing commercial real estate developers and investors; and representing vendors and purchasers in cases involving failed computer systems.. I write and lecture frequently on copyright law. I am the co-author of "Substantial Similarity In Copyright Law" (PLI 2003-2009 (available for Kindle download at )), a treatise devoted to the analysis of the ways in which courts compare works in copyright infringement cases. I was part of the group that drafted the ABA model jury instructions for copyright infringement cases (published spring 2008). My speaking engagements include appearances before the Copyright Society of the U.S.A. Copyright Society of the South, Licensing Executives Society and the Fairfield County Bar Association.My goal is to expand my base of Connecticut-located and national business clients and the range of intellectual property and commercial litigation and counseling services with which they trust me.
