About

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.

It's never a good situation when you find yourself seeking legal counsel. We were in a stressful situation and Mr. Bryant was professional and fair, making our ideal a little easier to deal with. He got the matter taken care of with professionalism - yet was personable. He is very conscious of your time and very responsive to communications. I pray I don't need his services again, but if I did - I wouldn't hesitate to call on him.

Michael was referred by a good friend of mine familiar with his work on custody cases. My custody battle was extremely ugly and painful, but Michael took as much time as I needed to make me as comfortable and confident as possible in the process. We worked together for 10 months to bring my children home, and I could tell he actually cared about us and my family. I probably was not his easiest client, because I asked a LOT of questions and had a LOT of worries. However, I felt like he handled everything professionally and took the time to talk to me when I needed it. He set realistic expectations, and came through on his commitments. Wouldn’t want to go through this process with anyone else!

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 battled my sons mother in court several times. After acquiring Michael Bryant to represent me, I was able to get full custody of my son. Michael was the first attorney who I felt understood the depths of my sons situation & I hired him to represent me in again what would eventually lead me to get full custody for my child. Michael did an amazing job & I will forever be grateful for his services.

Early in 2021, upon deciding to pursue custody of my daughter, I contacted Michael along with multiple other lawyers. Following the completion of my free consultation, I knew that he was the best choice to represent me throughout what was sure to be a long and emotional journey. I couldn't be happier with my decision. Michael represented and advised me with the highest level of professionalism, both in and outside of the court room. In the end, Michael ended up getting me everything I wanted as a father seeking full custody. I highly recommend hiring him if you find yourself in a custody battle or are considering pursuing legal custody.

I hired Michael to represent me in an old, ongoing, court ordered spousal support agreement. My ex-spouse is self employed and refused to comply with the spousal support agreement made during our divorce 5 years ago. Michael was eager to help me with this. He was informative, patient and very professional throughout the whole process. He was tough, but fair, respectful and kind. He always answered my questions honestly. In the end, almost a year later, we have had some success in recovering a portion of the spousal support and are hopeful it will continue. If it does not, Michael reassured me we would go back to court.

Michael was professional, knowledgeable, and so easy to work with on my divorce. He definitely knew what he was doing and was very easy to get ahold of with questions, etc. He returned calls and emails very promptly. Michael was kind but told it like it is, which is definitely something you want out of lawyer. He doesn't waste your time which in return doesn't waste your money, which is a great attribute to have in such a great lawyer that gets the job done!
