Attorney Orland has practiced law for more than thirty years. A Worcester, Massachusetts native, she began her career there as an Assistant District Attorney, prosecuting several high profile felony cases. Attorney Orland subsequently joined the offices of Wolfson Keenan Cotton and Meagher, where she maintained a general practice, concentrating in divorce, matrimonial, family and criminal matters. She successfully handled the first surrogacy case to be decided by the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court, ultimately winning custody for the child's father. Upon relocating to Westport, Connecticut, Attorney Orland worked at Fitzmaurice & Siegel prior to co-founding Broder & Orland, LLC. She is a member of the Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York and District of Columbia bars, the Family Law Section of the Fairfield County and American Bar Associations, and has served on the Executive Committee of the Connecticut Bar Association Family Law Section. Attorney Orland also serves as a Special Master in the Family Division of the Stamford and Bridgeport Superior Courts.
