About Paul M.
Paul M. Namie earned his law degree from Valparaiso University School of Law in 2010 after completing a bachelor’s degree in history at Lewis University in 2006. His academic path kept him in the Midwest and placed him at institutions with regional ties to both Indiana and Illinois. The sequence of degrees establishes a clear timeline from undergraduate study to professional training in law.
Since receiving his J.D., Namie has practiced law in the region. He is the principal of The Law Office of Paul M. Namie, LLC. He also lists offices under the name Namie Bauer & Associates. Running a small firm means juggling casework and office management. It also means dealing directly with clients and the practical demands of daily practice.
Namie is licensed in Indiana and maintains active professional memberships. He is a member of the Illinois State Bar and holds membership in the Lake County Bar Association. Those affiliations reflect connections across state lines and involvement in local legal circles. They also provide him access to professional resources and local networks that can inform his work.
Those who work at small, regional firms often handle a range of matters. In that environment, attorneys must manage client intake, case preparation, and courtroom responsibilities when needed. Namie’s practice structure places him in that role. Over the years since his graduation, he has carried the responsibilities associated with leading a private practice and maintaining external professional relationships.
Colleagues and clients who interact with attorneys like Namie typically notice direct communication and hands-on case management. Operating his own office, he bears responsibility for legal strategy as well as the administrative side of firm life. That practical experience shapes how he approaches matters and serves people who seek legal help in his area.
As of 2026, Namie continues to work from his listed offices, participating in bar activities and maintaining professional ties across Indiana and Illinois. He practices law through The Law Office of Paul M. Namie, LLC, focusing on serving clients in Indiana through his private practice.
