About Joseph
Joseph Sulman studied English at Oberlin College and graduated in 2000. He then went to Georgetown University Law Center, earning his J.D. in 2005. Those years set the foundation for a practice rooted in courtroom work and client representation.
After law school he entered practice in Massachusetts. He was admitted to the Massachusetts bar in 2005 and holds admission to the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. He operates the Law Office of Joseph L. Sulman, Esq., where he handles matters that require filings in both state and federal court.
Sulman's professional memberships reflect a steady interest in employment and trial work. He is a member of the National Employment Lawyers Association and has belonged to the Massachusetts Academy of Trial Lawyers since 2011. He also maintains long-standing memberships in the Massachusetts Bar Association and the Boston Bar Association, both dating to 2005. Those affiliations provide a forum for continuing legal education and peer interaction.
In practice he represents individuals in employment disputes and in other civil matters. He brings those cases into state and federal venues, including the District of Massachusetts and the First Circuit. His work involves pleading, discovery and court appearances. He files and defends claims, negotiates resolutions and advances matters through litigation when necessary. Colleagues describe him as straightforward in court and persistent in pursuing procedural avenues available to his clients.
Clients and opposing counsel see him regularly in filings and hearings across the Boston area. He balances courtroom work with the paperwork that drives civil litigation. At his office he prepares briefs, argues motions and attends mediations when a negotiated outcome is appropriate. He has stayed active in professional groups that focus on employment law and trial practice.
He currently practices at the Law Office of Joseph L. Sulman, Esq., where he represents employees in employment disputes and handles civil litigation.
