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.

Highly recommend
Attorney Bryant was highly recommended to me and I would also highly recommend. Attorney Bryant was straightforward and honest with me throughout my case. I had been trying to get custody of my grandchild for 7 years and was unsuccessful. I hired Attorney Bryant and within 4 months the judge awarded ...
Thank you! And though I would love to claim credit for the quick results, much of it was the result of timing. But, I guess, there is something to be said for being opportunistic. It also helps to have a reasonable and responsive client! Most importantly, when we are dealing with kids, we always try to be mindful of the fact that they grow, develop and change so rapidly that they exist on a different time scale than adults do. I am glad that my team was able to get you a positive result for you and your family. I wish everyone the best.

Hire Michael!
I don’t know how to thank Michael enough! After interviewing several lawyers, my gut told me to go with Michael Bryant. I’m a firm believer in everything happens for a reason and without him our family wouldn’t be where we are today. I needed a lawyer for a custody battle. I had one vision for an app...
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I'm so happy that my office was able to get you the result you and your family deserved. I hope you never need me again either, but I would be happy to represent you. Having a cooperative client with a clear vision for the result (even if we don't always agree on the path to get there) makes my job easier. I wish you and your family all the best!

Highest ratings for Michael E Bryant! I contacted him for a free consultation, prepared questions, and he answered all of them. Michael also helped me with the free educational resources on his website! I hired him & my divorce was finalized in 84 days. This is credited to hard work from me, ...
Thank you! I appreciate your kind words, but you deserve a fair amount of credit yourself. It just goes to show what can be accomplished when we all work together as a team. I wish you the best with everything.

Michael Bryant
Michael was very attentive & genuinely did an amazing job in representing me when I was trying to get my son away from a terrible situation with his mother & step father. I fought for years, 7 to be exact. During these years, unfortunately, I had pleaded with CSB on more than one occasion & further b...
