About Dyan
Dyan Kozaczka is an attorney who practiced across two New England jurisdictions after completing her legal training. She earned a Bachelor of Arts from Boston College in 2005 and took her law degree from Wake Forest University School of Law in 2008. Those steps set the stage for a career spent in firm practice rather than in public service or academia.
Early in her career she worked at Cohen and Wolf, PC, where she served as an associate. She later moved to Rutkin, Oldham, & Griffin, LLC and became a partner there in 2015. The move marked a transition from an associate role to firm leadership and brought broader responsibilities for client matters and case management. Colleagues describe her as steady and pragmatic in handling the daily demands of litigation and client advocacy.
Kozaczka is admitted to practice in Massachusetts and Connecticut. She holds membership in the Connecticut State Bar and maintains active ties to the bar communities where she works. Her courtroom experience includes appearances in state tribunals in both jurisdictions, and she has handled matters that required coordination across state lines. She is known for preparing cases carefully and for an attention to procedural detail that can shape outcomes before trial.
On the practical side, she manages client files, supervises junior attorneys, and handles client communications. Those tasks take up much of her week. She also participates in firm strategy discussions and contributes to the training of newer lawyers. Her work has required balancing competing deadlines and moving parts, often under pressure.
Outside the office she has kept a professional profile within the Connecticut bar community. She takes part in bar activities and contributes to continuing legal education when opportunities arise. Her approach to professional development is steady rather than flashy: she focuses on building functional skills and practical judgment that younger lawyers can emulate.
Her peers see her as a practical problem-solver who prefers straightforward solutions. Clients value that clarity. Today she practices at Rutkin, Oldham, & Griffin, LLC and handles matters in both Massachusetts and Connecticut. Her current practice centers on advising and representing clients in matters across those two states.
