About

Michael grew up in Sharonville, Ohio, which is a suburb of Cincinnati. At an early age, his parents instilled a hard work ethic, which caused Michael to constantly seek new challenges either in work, school, or with sports. Michael even completed international baccalaureate course work at Princeton High School. Michael attended Miami University where he earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology.  He also minored in Sociology with a focus on Criminology. During his time at Miami, a close friend received a citation for an extremely minor traffic infraction- moving a traffic cone a couple of feet. His friend’s case was publicized to the entire community via the campus newspaper. Michael noticed the embarrassment such a minor legal issue caused his friend and began to imagine what could happen if the charges had become more serious.  The unfairness of the process was disturbing and unacceptable to Michael. Michael went on to attend the University of Dayton School of Law. While attending law school, he gained experience litigating cases with the City of Dayton Prosecutor’s Office. This is where Michael’s eyes were opened to the true colors of the criminal justice system.  After law school, Michael decided to hang his shingle and open a criminal defense firm. He remembers well one of his first cases.  A client was criminally charged for allegedly allowing a property to become run down, ultimately creating a hazard. Through his independent investigation, Michael discovered the client no longer owned the property. It had gone through the foreclosure process twice and the property was actually owned by a company that purchased it through the Sheriff’s auction. The State wanted the client to make improvements to a property which the client did not own.  If the client did not oblige the State wanted the client found guilty of a criminal offense.  The State’s position was inherently unfair and unjust.  Michael showed the Court as well as the State his client was not the proper party nor the proper subject to such a criminal action and Michael obtained a dismissal for the client.Michael finds joy in fully investigating his cases in order to reach the best possible result for his clients.  Michael does not believe in simply pleading his clients out in the hopes of receiving a decent plea bargain.  Instead, Michael leaves no stone unturned and exhausts all remedies to his client’s satisfaction.  A short-sighted approach carriers the possibility of severe consequences because convictions often have long-lasting effects, particularly in today’s era of the internet, social media, and background checks.  Michael never wants his clients to encounter undue hardships and has dedicated his practice to actively preventing such.      In his personal life, Michael can be found competing in triathlons and marathons. He has completed ten Cincinnati Flying Pig Marathons, four Ironman Louisville races, one Revolution, three full triathlons, and two Triple-T races – to name a few.  He finds satisfaction in both patience and endurance in all aspects of life, including the practice of criminal defense.

I hired on Mr. Metherd after recieveing my first traffic violation. He was incredibly informative with what all would happen and how it could be handled. I am very appreciative of his services as well as the help to save money and the points on my driving record. I will certainly use him again in the future should the need arise.

Mr. Metherd provided legal services for recent real estate transactions. His advise was quite useful and his recommendations saved me money. I recommend him without reservation.

I am a military veteran who was stationed all across the country and spent time abroad. I am an Ohio native, and always maintained ties to my home state, despite where I may have been at any given moment. Whether I was in the high desert of California, the swamps of North Carolina, or the sands of a foreign land, Mr. Metherd always provided legal services and assistance that far exceeded the standards of his peers. Accessibility was very important to me, and Mr. Metherd ensured a sustained communication between us, often giving of his personal time to aid me when I was off duty. Mr. Metherd's handling of my various legal needs was, and continues to be, extremely professional. He is meticulous, insightful, punctual, courteous, and empathetic. He has a deep passion for the law, and he cares about his clients just as much. As my family has grown, so have our legal needs, and Mr. Metherd has been there every step of the way. Thank you Sir.

I've recently had him represent me in a driving under suspension an speeding ticket, he didn't keep me informed about anything an most of all didn't do what I've asked of him an later withrawn from the case because I got another DUS. He sold himself to me about him helping out a guy with a DUI an how hard of a worker he is, do not I repeat do not let him sell himself to you!
