About Paul
Paul Burroughs earned his undergraduate degree from Duquesne University in 1969 and returned there for law school, receiving his J.D. in 1973. His legal education spanned a period of change in the American legal landscape, and he entered the profession at a time when many lawyers began building long local careers. The Duquesne connection provided a steady foundation for the work that followed.
After completing law school he became a member of the Pennsylvania State Bar in 1973. He has maintained that membership continuously. He also joined the Erie County Bar Association the same year and remains active in the county organization. Those affiliations have anchored a practice centered in Pennsylvania for more than five decades.
Burroughs’s professional life has been largely tied to Quinn Law Office. He rose to the title of senior shareholder in 1985 and has held senior-level responsibilities there since then. That role has included supervision of other attorneys and involvement in the firm’s strategic decisions. His position reflects long tenure rather than any single accolade.
Colleagues describe him as steady and experienced. He has worked through shifting trends in state law and the local courts. He has seen practice methods change, from paper files to electronic records, and adapted to those practical shifts over time. That kind of continuity matters to clients who prefer a lawyer versed in the local rules and procedures.
Outside of firm duties, Burroughs’s sustained membership in bar organizations has offered avenues for professional exchange. Membership in both the Pennsylvania State Bar and the Erie County Bar Association has kept him connected to peers and to developments in state law. Those connections have been a recurring feature of his career rather than a sideline.
Now in practice at Quinn Law Office, Burroughs continues to serve clients in Pennsylvania. His current practice centers on providing legal representation and counsel to individuals and businesses through the offices of Quinn Law Office in Pennsylvania.
