Linda Alderman left “Big Law” to form Alderman & Alderman with her husband in 1992, at a time when those managing most firms expected most female attorneys to just accept the part-time “mommy track.” Myles and Linda rejected that outdated dichotomy. Linda Alderman was the firm’s managing partner (only relinquishing that role when an illness forced her to take a leave of absence). Myles Alderman served for years on the Human Rights Commission for the Town of West Hartford. Before any state recognized the right of same-sex couples to marry, Alderman & Alderman’s lawyers helped use partnerships, limited liability companies, powers of attorneys and other tools to help mitigate the challenges faced by same-sex couples. After the adoption of the “Patriot Act,” Alderman & Alderman represented Muslim-Americans who were subject to search, seizure and detention without probable cause.
