Joshua May

My name is Joshua May, and my current position is Assistant Public Defender at the Lehigh County Public Defender’s Office. I have been in this position for four months. I began my legal career at North Penn Legal Services where I helped clients with family law, housing, consumer law, and employment law. Prior to my current job, I worked as a special education teacher for several years. Previous to all of that, I served in the United Marine Corps as a Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical Defense Specialist.

I graduated from East Stroudsburg University. Following graduation, I moved to the Lehigh Valley, where I have resided for over 15 years. I attended law school at Widener University, and I received my master’s in Education from Lehigh University. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my amazing wife and my two charismatic, energetic boys. I also enjoy working as an assistant football coach at a local high school and watching my boys participate in their many after school activities.
