Paul J. Siegferth Jr.

I was born and raised in Akron, Ohio, where I also pursued my higher education. I graduated with a law degree from the University of Akron School of Law in 2020. During my law school years, I volunteered at Akron Law’s expungement clinic, assisting previously convicted community members in clearing their records for a new beginning. My legal practice is primarily focused on criminal defense representation.

My educational journey includes an Associate degree in Criminal Justice and a Bachelor’s degree in Political Science, in addition to my law degree, all obtained from the University of Akron. I have dedicated my life to serving both my local community and the nation. I served six years in the United States Marine Corps Reserve and was activated for Operation Desert Storm.

Before obtaining my Juris Doctor, I spent twenty-seven years with the Akron Police Department. A significant part of my career there involved assignments in the Detective Bureau, U.S. Marshals Violent Fugitive Task Force, and Uniform Patrol Division.

In 1999, I was honored with the Russ Long Officer of the Year Award by the Akron Police Department. This award is given annually to an officer who exemplifies the outstanding qualities of Russ Long.

I am a member of the Portage County and State of Ohio Bar Associations, as well as the Ohio Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers.
