Law Offices of Seneca Konturas

Education: The University of Miami has a B.A. The University of Akron School of Law has a J.D.

My practice focuses on the areas of criminal defense, juvenile, labor and employment, and civil rights law in an effort to help support and preserve those rights. Everyone deserves to be treated fairly, respectfully, compassionately, and to be given the opportunity to present their argument on equal footing with those who want to deprive them of their rights. The law is a second career for me. I gained admission to the Ohio and Federal bars after spending 20 years in various marketing, advertising, and sales roles for both Fortune 500 companies and small, family-run businesses.
