About Paul W. Siegert
A lifetime of service.
A career in advocacy.
More than five decades of New York legal experience, informed by military service, rigorous education, and years in the courtroom.
Attorney & counselor
Direct, seasoned legal counsel
Paul William Siegert has been admitted to practice law in New York since 1974. Over the course of his career, he has represented individuals, families, property owners, tenants, and businesses in matters ranging from courtroom disputes to important personal and commercial transactions.
Paul’s practice is built around direct attorney involvement. Clients speak with the lawyer responsible for evaluating the facts, identifying the legal issues, and shaping the strategy. That personal model of representation is especially important when a case affects a client’s freedom, family, home, property, or livelihood.
Education and preparation
Paul earned his Bachelor of Arts from Wesleyan University in 1965 and his Juris Doctor from New York University School of Law in 1973. He was admitted to the New York Bar the following year.
Military service
Before beginning his legal career, Paul served in the United States Navy during the Vietnam War, including duty aboard USS New Jersey (BB-62) and in Vietnam during 1968–1969.

Decades in the courtroom
Public professional profiles identify trial practice as a central part of Paul’s work. Published decisions and court records also reflect experience in civil disputes, real estate matters, appellate proceedings, and other contested cases. The value of that history is not a promise of any particular result; it is the ability to recognize issues, prepare carefully, and give clients a candid assessment.
