Michael Eli Bryant

Michael helped us negotiate a settlement on my husband's spousal support. The judgment decree was terribly written and left my husband with little protection and a support commitment with no ending. We'd spoken to a number of other attorney s about it and each told us we'd have a long and expensive ...court battle. When we spoke with Michael, we felt like getting my husband our of his "never ending" $2500 a month spousal support commitment was actually managable. So we proceeded. Michael was responsive, innovative, and took our desires seriously. Also, and most surprisingly, he didn't pad his hours! About mid-engagment I reached out to see if he needed us to make another payment to our retainer. He did not. Imagine my suprise when at the end of our engagement, we had nearly 50% of our retainer returned to us! While his hourly rate was the same as our other attorneys, his billing practices were far from the same. He did not nickle-and-dimed us, even when I practically invited him to by offering him more money mid-case. After years of getting crappy results from expensive attorneys who did not do what they said they would do, we finally have closure to this situation. No long expensive court case. No 12th hour negotiations where we were pressured to compromise our goals. No cow-towing or assuming we had to kiss a bunch of butt to get scraps from the other side. It was like winning the lotto. Beyond his professionalism, Michael was a joy to work with. He's a straight shooter and has a great sense of humor. He kept us informed at all times and was always quick to respond when we reached out. We now live in Michigan and Michael is in Ohio, where the divorce case was registered. If I lived in Ohio and had another need for legal support, I'd work with him again in a minute.

I hired Michael to represent me mid case after I decided to terminate the services of my current lawyer. Michael was honest, worked hard on my case, kept me up to date with the status and provided me solid advice that helped me navigate a challenging child custody case. The outcome wasn't what I was ...hoping for I believe it was the best he could do navigating a challenging custody case and court system. I wish I had hired him from the start as I feel the outcome would have been better.

Micheal was great , he explained to me from day one that this wouldn’t be easy , he insist we play the long game , I thought like man I don’t have long , this lady is trying to sabotage me and keep me out my kid life . Let’s just say the long game is always worth it . It brings the value of the situa...tion up and reveals all aspects while creating understanding , and that’s what Micheal did !!!!!!!!

I retained Atty Bryant in a very heated divorce and custody case. Despite numerous issues with my ex wife's attorney, Michael maintained a professional level of communication and service at all times. I went into the process severely concerned with gaining appropriate time with my daughter due to her... age, as she was just turning 1. The process was stressful as you'd expect, but Michael was always extremely transparent and communicated efficiently. At one point, the court attempted to appoint a Guardian Ad Litem that was best friends with the opposing attorney. At my request, Michael fought against this appointment and subsequently had the Ad Litem changed. Without this, I would not have the visitation I wanted or that I currently have. I felt that I was going to be railroaded, but Michael assured me that he'd fight for me and my daughter. I'd recommend Michael in any case, he was outstanding!

My husband and I were desperate we had hired another attorney during our custody battle with my Ex and we felt our previous attorney was not doing anything. Mr. Bryant took my case in the middle without much time to prepare. He is honest with you 100%. He is extremely intelligent and is great at liti...gation. My case is not like any other, my ex has taken us through this for 6 1/2 years time and time again making false accusations about my character as a mother. Mr. Bryant showed the judge the truth. Thank you for all your help! I highly recommend Mr. Bryant. I hired Mr. Bryant after reading other reviews.
