Michael Eli Bryant

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.
