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.

Great Lawyer
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 ...
Thank you. I'm glad that you were satisfied with my representation, if not 100% satisfied with the outcome. Unfortunately, that is sometimes the case. I am glad you and your family were able to find some peace, and I wish you the all the best in the future.

Outstanding
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...
