Siacon named co-president of the Michigan Asian Pacific American Bar Association

Aleanna Siacon, an associate in Dickinson Wright’s Troy office, has been named co-president of the Michigan Asian Pacific American Bar Association (MAPABA). She is also a recipient of the inaugural MAPABA Rising Star Award. Both honors were announced at the MAPABA Lunar New Year Dinner on Feb. 21, 2026.

 “I’m honored to be named co-president of MAPABA for the upcoming 2026-2027 year,” said Siacon. “I first became a member of MAPABA as a law student and previously served as Treasurer and Vice President. Over the years, I’ve seen firsthand how MAPABA bridges generations of attorneys, legal professionals, and law students across areas of interest, cultures, identities and different lived experiences. What makes the organization special is its commitment to the pillars of fellowship, mentorship and community. I’m excited to lead MAPABA into this next chapter, while remaining firmly grounded in its foundational values of connection, mutual support and collective advancement – which remain the organization’s compass as we take our first steps into a new year of thoughtful innovation, sustainable growth, and increased visibility.”

As co-president of MAPABA, Siacon will spearhead the organization’s events and programming in the coming year to further advance relations between the legal profession and the public. MAPABA is an affiliate of the National Asian Pacific American Bar Association (NAPABA) and the primary local bar association connecting and advocating for the interests of Asian-Americans in the legal profession. 

MAPABA’s Rising Star Award recognizes AAPI attorneys in Michigan whose meaningful contributions to the legal community and strong commitment to professional excellence demonstrate exceptional promise. Honorees were voted upon and selected by MAPABA membership based on their dedication, leadership, and growing impact, which reflects a bright future in the legal profession and serves as an example for future generations of attorneys.

Siacon focuses her practice on commercial litigation and works on a variety of complex business disputes. She has a passion for civil litigation and all its intricacies and has experience defending and counseling companies, municipalities, and school districts in a wide array of legal matters from investigation to matter resolution. She is recognized as a leader in her field by Best Lawyers in America “Ones to Watch.” In 2025, Aleanna was appointed to the State Bar of Michigan’s Diversity & Inclusion Advisory Committee, and, in 2026, she was named to Michigan Lawyers Weekly’s Up and Coming Lawyers. She is a member of the State Bar of Michigan Young Lawyers Section Executive Council, a Fellow of the Oakland County Bar Foundation and a member of Federal Bar Association – Eastern District of Michigan Chapter. Aleanna received her B.A. from Wayne State University and her J.D. from Wayne State University Law School.
