Firm Information

Overview

The law firm of Amer Cunningham Co., L.P.A. has deep roots in Akron, Ohio. It is a descendant of the late-nineteenth-century firm of Green, Grant & Sieber, led in part by Akron real estate developer and Republican politician George Sieber, who joined the firm in 1891.

In 1920, Bernard J. Amer, one of the founding partners of the modern-day Amer Cunningham Brennan, joined Sieber as a partner in the law offices of Sieber, Sieber & Amer. Twelve years later, during the Great Depression, Amer formed an association with Michael Sophrin. In 1933, they were joined by Ernest L. Cunningham, who had begun his practice with the law firm of Mottinger & Evans and then established his own office.

When Sophrin died in 1938, the firm, then known as Amer, Cunningham & Sophrin, began to expand. By the time of Cunningham's death in 1971, the firm had become Amer, Cunningham, Cunningham & Brennan. The firm became Amer Cunningham Brennan Co., L.P.A. when the group incorporated that year.

In 1987, the growing firm moved to its present location in what is now known as the Key Building, at the corner of South Main and Bowery Streets in the heart of downtown Akron. The move was a homecoming, in that this same building housed Sieber, Sieber & Amer in the 1920's.

With the new millennium, the firm now known as Amer Cunningham Co., L.P.A., continues to grow and provide high quality legal services to the area.

Over the years, the firm has become known in Ohio and beyond for its skill in advising and representing manufacturers, commercial enterprises, lending institutions, entrepreneurs, businesses and various governmental entities, and for a flourishing and successful litigation practice.

How do I choose a lawyer?

Consider the following:

  • Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
  • Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
  • Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
  • City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?

Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?

Here are a few to get you started:

  • How long have you been in practice?
  • How many cases like mine have you handled?
  • How often do you settle cases out of court?
  • What are your fees and costs?
  • What are the next steps?

Want to check lawyer discipline?

It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:

  • Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
  • Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
  • Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
