PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Community Legal Aid staff attorney Dana Doyle was elected as the next president of the Berkshire County Bar Association at the association's annual meeting, held on May 15. Doyle’s two-year term will begin on Sept. 1.
Doyle, a Pittsfield resident, is a certified mediator, certified conciliator, collaborative law attorney, parenting coordinator, and guardian ad litem investigator, and has been a member of the Massachusetts Bar since 1998. Prior to joining the family law unit at Community Legal Aid in 2017, she spent 15 years in private practice as a solo practitioner and an associate at several law firms in Berkshire County.
Attorney Doyle began her law career at Community Legal Aid's predecessor organization, Western Massachusetts Legal Services, where she was employed from 1998-2002. She has been actively involved in the Berkshire County Bar Association since she first moved to Pittsfield in 1998. She has served on the executive committee of the bar association since 2009 and also serves on the Probate and Family Court Bench/Bar committee (chairperson from 2003-2011).
"I am hoping to build on the work of past presidents, while offering increased opportunities for the current membership," Doyle said. "Presently our membership consists of approximately 150 attorneys and judges. I value the camaraderie and the opportunity to meet and work with lawyers from all walks of the profession that our Bar Association provides, as, well as the feeling that we do makes a difference."
Doyle previously served as a member of the Pittsfield Licensing Board and served on the Board of Directors of the Elizabeth Freeman Center (president from ’06-’08) and the Massachusetts Justice Project.
