Kameel Asha

Kameel Asha is a criminal defense paralegal at Sieben Edmunds Miller, where he assists the firm’s attorneys with case preparation, discovery, legal documents, and the organization of evidence. With a background in criminal justice and computer forensics, Kameel brings both technical skills and a longstanding commitment to advocating for others. 

Growing up in Nigeria, Kameel attended boarding school, where he saw how accusations of wrongdoing could affect students who lived and learned together. Those experiences helped shape his belief that everyone deserves to be heard and treated fairly, a perspective that eventually drew him toward criminal defense. 

For Kameel, empathy is essential to working with people facing criminal charges. He understands that everyone comes from different circumstances and that two people facing similar charges may have very different paths that led them to where they are now. Rather than making assumptions, he believes in listening carefully, understanding how a situation is affecting someone, and helping them work toward an outcome that addresses their needs. 

Above all, Kameel wants clients to know they can expect to be treated with respect and without judgment. 

Kameel moved to the United States in 2021 and earned an associate degree in Criminal Justice from Saint Paul College. He went on to Metro State University, where he is pursuing bachelor’s degrees in Criminal Justice and Computer Forensics, with an anticipated graduation in December 2026. 

Before joining Sieben Edmunds Miller, Kameel completed a paralegal internship with the Ramsey County Attorney’s Office, supporting its Collaborative Review Team, a juvenile diversion initiative. His work included coordinating case reviews, organizing discovery materials, preparing legal documents, and tracking case deadlines. He also holds an EC-Council Digital Forensics Essentials certification, which complements his work with electronic evidence in criminal cases. 

Kameel’s commitment to advocacy extends beyond the legal field. During college, he served as both vice president and president of the Metro State University Student Association, representing students and helping address concerns affecting their educational experiences. 

Outside the office, Kameel enjoys exploring restaurants and cafés around the Twin Cities, watching Netflix, and spending time with friends.
