Meet Our Attorneys: Joe Bumbleburg
November 24, 2014
At Ball Eggleston, we pride ourselves on the caliber of attorneys we attract to our firm. We all come from different backgrounds and experiences, but work together to form a team that is ready to help solve your legal questions. This post is part of an ongoing series, Meet our Attorneys, so that you can get to know the individuals who work tirelessly to give back to our community. Each attorney sat down for an interview to share their story.
Today’s attorney focus is on Mr. Joe Bumbleburg.
Joe Bumbleburg joined our firm in 1964 after studying law at Notre Dame and Indiana University. Mr. Bumbleburg has since developed a reputation throughout the greater Lafayette area for his exceptional law work he has done the last 50 years within our firm.
He started out doing trial defense work for insurance companies in the local area, before shifting focus to what he primarily works with now:
- Estate Planning
- Land Use, Development, and Zoning- for both commercial and residential areas
- Government affairs- acting as a liaison with various local agencies
Mr. Bumbleburg is not only an attorney, but deeply devoted to the local community here in Lafayette.
- He served six years on the National Board of Governors for the Red Cross
- Currently serves as the General Counsel for the American Legion in Indiana. This gives him the privilege of working with many military veterans.
- He is well-known and well respected throughout the community for his involvement and expertise in government affairs.
Why did you become an attorney?
Mr. Bumbleburg called his ascent into the law world ‘hereditary.’ Although his father worked as a salesman in the print industry with an expertise in government printing and forms, and his mother celebrated a long career at the Journal & Courier, he credits his Uncle Francis in fueling his interest for law. Uncle Francis was a prominent criminal lawyer in small town Indiana. Mr. Bumbleburg grew up watching him work and ultimately followed in Uncle Francis’ footsteps to Notre Dame.
Furthermore, Mr. Bumbleburg celebrated a fun and interesting career in the military. He served as an army lawyer and worked with war plans in special operations.
