I was born and raised in Dayton, Ohio. I earned a Bachelor of Arts in History from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. I eventually moved to Toledo, Ohio to pursue my Law Degree at the University of Toledo, graduating three years later. During Law School I was active in the Moot Court Association and worked for the Ohio 6th Circuit Court of Appeals. In November of 2008 I was sworn in by the Supreme Court of Ohio as a member of the Ohio Bar. I was admitted to practice in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio in May 2009.
I am active in the Toledo Bar Association as a Member of the Young Lawyers Committee and the Bar Admissions Committee. I have been appointed counsel by judges in the Lucas County Common Pleas Court for both original criminal cases as well as appeals, and in the Lucas County Juvenile Court.
I am a board member of the Pat Miller Foundation for the Eleanor M. Kahle Senior Center in West Toledo. I am a national member of the Order of Barristers and have received public service recognition from the Equal Justice Works/Pro Bono Legal Corps/AmeriCorps and Supreme Court of Louisiana & Louisiana State Bar Association.
I take a hands-on approach to the practice of law. I am enthusiastic about the law and enjoy solving problems. I look for creative ways to best represent my clients and won’t shy away from a difficult case. I understand that hiring an attorney is always done out of necessity, and compassion is a must in my business. Therefore I try to be the type of attorney that I would want to hire. I make every effort to return phone calls within a reasonable amount of time. I am willing to explain in great detail the law and how it relates to your case. I am honest with my clients 100% of the time. I attempt to be reasonable with everyone that I come in contact with, whether they are clients, opposing parties or counsel, or court personnel. However, I take every step to make sure that my clients get the representation they deserve and all the rights and defenses they are entitled to.

Trustworthy and confident attorney
Michael was very thorough. His response time was excellent and he doesn't sugar coat. He gave realistic expectations and there were no surprises. As far as billing, his fees were fair and he only charged for work that we could actually see being done. I would recommend him to anyone and already have....
Thanks for the great feedback. Happy to know that I helped and you were satisfied. It's great to know I could help you through this difficult time in your life.

Not impressed
My personal opinion is that he is disingenuous and untrustworthy. I fired him and hired a more ethical and professional attorney to carry my case forward after he wasted months of my time. I am currently consulting with another attorney about a malpractice claim. I'll update this review as a public s...
Thank you for the review. All feedback, even negative, is a chance to learn and grow. I didn’t do anything unlawful or unethical. I did the things necessary for your case, and would make the same choices in the future. Where I failed is in my role as teacher. Perhaps I took your education and background for granted. Regardless, it seems I did a poor job of explaining why I took the actions I did in your case. I will try to improve on that in the future. I am glad that you found an attorney that you are more comfortable with. I wish you and your family the best.
