About Joshua
Joshua Pond earned an M.A. from Fuller Theological Seminary in 2004 and a J.D. from Lewis & Clark Law School in 2009. He moved from graduate study into law school and completed his legal training in Portland. The sequence reflects an uncommon path: study in a seminary setting followed by formal legal education. That background informs how he approaches cases and counsel.
After law school, Pond entered practice in Oregon. Over the years he has worked in environments that range from small firms to collaborative partnerships. His name appears at The Law Office of Siefman & Pond, where he practices alongside other attorneys. He has built a practice anchored in state courts and administrative work, handling matters that require steady attention to procedural detail and client communication.
Pond’s education shows a blend of liberal arts and professional training. The theological degree from Fuller suggests an interest in ethics and community questions, while the Lewis & Clark J.D. provided the doctrinal and practical skills needed for litigation and transactional work. He keeps those strands together in his approach to clients: careful listening, methodical analysis, and an emphasis on practical results rather than rhetoric.
Colleagues describe him as methodical and deliberate at the table. He prepares memos and briefs that aim to be concise and persuasive. In negotiation he prefers to steer conversations back to concrete terms. In court he allows the record to speak for his clients, relying on clarity and legal argument rather than theatricality. Those tendencies reflect the combination of scholarly and professional training in his background.
Outside the office, Pond’s earlier theological studies continue to inform his interests. He has spoken at community events and taken part in panel discussions about law and civic life. He keeps a steady calendar of continuing legal education and engages with local bar activities when schedules permit. His practice is localized in Oregon, and he maintains familiarity with state procedures and court rules.
Today Pond practices at The Law Office of Siefman & Pond. He is licensed to practice in Oregon and manages cases from initial intake through resolution. His current practice focuses on representing clients through that firm in matters arising under Oregon law.
