Alicen Rodolph

The third of seven children, Alicen spent her childhood moving around the United States, ultimately claiming Wisconsin as home. She entered the workforce as a young teen, and at twenty-four, she began pursuing her college education. While working full-time in retail management, she earned her Associate of Arts with Honors from Fayetteville Technical Community College. Then, she graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts in Business Studies and Human Resources from Southern New Hampshire University.

Her legal career began when Alicen attended William & Mary Law School, where she received the Thurgood Marshall Award at graduation for her distinguished public service. In law school she interned in Dhaka, Bangladesh, for a non-profit combating human trafficking, with the DOJ’s human trafficking prosecution unit in the Civil Rights Division, and served as a Douglass Fellow for the Human Trafficking Institute (HTI), where she started a podcast called Trafficking Matters to provide accessible information on the issue. After graduation, Alicen returned to HTI as a Project Attorney where she assisted with the development and creation of HTI’s annual Federal Human Trafficking Report by collecting and analyzing data and identifying current trends in human trafficking cases.

Selected by William & Mary Law School faculty to receive the Drapers’ Scholarship, Alicen spent a year in London studying at Queen Mary University of London School of Law, where she earned a master of laws (LL.M) degree in Human Rights Law in 2023.

Alicen has always had a passion for serving people, and throughout the years she has worked and volunteered with children as a teacher, tutor, caregiver, and coach, and with the elderly as an activity assistant in a nursing home. She currently volunteers with a non-profit aiding military veterans and Gold Star families, and in December 2020 received a pro-bono award for her work.

Alicen’s passion for people influenced her move into family law, and she is looking forward to helping families understand and navigate the complex challenges of family law.
