Colleen had the privilege to start her career at Metrowest Legal Services in the Family Law Unit representing clients who were victims of domestic violence/sexual assault, in divorce and family law cases.

She later transitioned to private practice, continuing to work with divorcing clients in Norfolk, Middlesex, and surrounding counties. In 2006, Colleen joined the litigation unit of the Massachusetts Department of Revenue, Child Support Enforcement Division in Worcester, MA. Colleen represented the DOR in actions to establish, modify, and enforce child support orders, and supervised other attorneys and DOR staff. Colleen was selected to work with the Worcester County District Attorney as a Special Assistant District Attorney to prosecute criminal non-support actions and select who would be placed upon the state’s “Deadbeat” child support list.

In early 2011, Colleen returned to private practice and joined The Divorce Collaborative, which is now “Cunnally Law Group.” In May 2013, Colleen became the principal owner of the firm. She represents clients in divorce and domestic relations matters, including complicated divorce actions, child support matters, interstate child support cases, paternity, modifications, and contempt actions. She also serves as a Guardian Ad Litem, and is a trained divorce mediator.

Colleen currently serves on the Board of Directors for Metrowest Legal Services. She also volunteers her time at the Norfolk Probate and Family Court as a volunteer attorney for the day and conducts training for other lawyers. She serves on the Pro Bono Panel for Metro West Legal Services.

Between 2012 and 2014, she was honored to serve Governor Deval Patrick on the Judicial Nomination Commission (JNC). As stated on the JNC website, “the JNC is a non-partisan, non-political and non-compensated Commission composed of twenty-one distinguished volunteers, appointed by the Governor from a cross-section of the Commonwealth’s diverse population.”

Outside of work, Colleen is a history buff, enjoys time in New Hampshire with her family, including her Husband, children, and two rescue dogs.
