Eileen Sorrentino

Eileen Sorrentino is a retired solo practitioner based in Chicopee. After many years as a general practice attorney and litigator, Eileen discovered a passion for Collaborative Law and Mediation. She opened her own firm in 2004 and devoted the last eight years to offering alternative dispute resolution services to resolve family law cases. Eileen also served as Adjunct Faculty at Western New England School of Law from 2007 through 2012.

Eileen has done a considerable amount of pro bono work throughout her legal career, and was awarded the 2011 Gideon’s Trumpet Award for Hampden County for outstanding contributions to Access to Justice. She is a founder, trainer, and volunteer for the Voluntary Conciliation Program in the Hampden County Probate and Family Court, as well as a former board member and executive vice president of the YWCA of Western Massachusetts, and past president of the Massachusetts Collaborative Law Council. Eileen also volunteered her time to the Senior Partners for Justice of the Volunteer Lawyers Project, serving those who would otherwise go to court unrepresented in divorce, paternity, child support, custody, and other family law matters.

Eileen recently moved to Mattapoisett, in Plymouth County, adjacent to Bristol County. She plans to work with the Volunteer Lawyers Project/Senior Partners for Justice, its founder, retired Judge Edward Ginsburg, and community attorneys and judges of the Probate and Family Courts in Plymouth and Bristol to bring the program to these counties.
