About
I graduated Cum Laude from Thomas M. Cooley Law School. During my time at Thomas M. Cooley, I served in many organizations such as the Appellate Advocacy Board, Trial Advocacy Board, & Law Review. In addition, I volunteered my time as Chairman of Michigan Youth in Government and tutored many law students in Criminal Procedure, Torts, and Civil Procedure. As well as graduating at the top of my class, I was awarded the Leadership Achievement Award and the Moot Court Service Award. This experience through law school has set a solid foundation to provide superior legal representation for my clients.As a professional, I have worked at the Office of the Ohio Attorney General assisting in the defense of this state against any complex civil claim brought against it. I have also worked at the Washtenaw County Public Defender’s Office vigorously defending individuals charged with felonies. After my time at Thomas M. Cooley Law School and working with these outstanding government agencies, I decided to partner with The Meranda Law Firm, Ltd. This decision has allowed me to dedicate and commit myself to each and every client. With 100% of my attention on each client, I am capable of dedicating myself to a level of preparation that clients deserve.Since this partnership, I have been awarded Ohio's Rising Star two consecutive years by SuperLawyer's Magazine. Additionally, I have been recognized by CEO Magazine as one of Ohio's top criminal defense lawyers. I also served my country proudly for eight years in the United States Marine Corps. During my time in the Marine Corps, I came to appreciate what freedom in this country truly means. It is this freedom I continue to dedicate my life to preserving now as an attorney.

Edward was in our corner for over a year as we dealt with a criminal case in a small town where railroading is an everyday occurrence. He was a bulldog, staying on top of things and finding a resolution to this case that we were happy with. Thank you!
I have never had to deal with the stress of a DUI arrest, nor the stress of paying court and lawyer fees. A relative referred me to the Meranda Law firm and after I explained the details of my case my lawyer, Ed Itayim went to work. It was a long 6 month process where the case was continually rescheduled due to requested information not provided by the prosecutor. After all the needed information was provided, Mr. Itayim reviewed all the details with me and explained if we had a case or not...in my case, we had a case! He talked to me like a friend and handled my case like a professional. Not only did my case get dismissed due to the details provided by Mr. Itayim, the judge also expressed his discern about how and why I was pulled over by the arresting cop. I am completely satisfied about how my case was handled by Mr. Itayim, especially in the events of a DUI, in which is one of the hardest charges to have reduced, but he had it dismissed! I highly recommend Ed Itayim and the Meranda Law Firm to anyone looking to have a fair chance against any charges placed against them. Ed Itayim beat a DUI case in which a breathalyzer test was used and high result was into play and won based on his attention to detail and listening to the thoughts of his client. Excellent results from an outstanding attorney!
Hard working attorney that is not afraid to put in the time and get the job done. I would recommend this attorney to anyone facing criminal charges.
Edward has represented me for almost a year now. I kind of have a crush on him but don't tell anyone. You can talk to him openly and honestly without him passing judgment!! He is an awesome Lawyer and I would recommend him with any domestic issues you may have! Keep up the Great Work EDWARD! And he was a court appointed but actually cares about his clients... Even pain in the a$$ ones like myself ;)
He was court-appointed for me in an OVI case. I met with him and was impressed with his courtesy, his treatment as if I were the most important person he ever represented. He spent nearly two hours reviewing my entire case with me, and was prompt at court.
Edward reprsented my son on a crimminal matter. He was excellent! He was easy to get a hold of and always responded quickly to phone calls or emails. He made us feel very comfortable. Do not let his youth fool you, he is very knowledgable and will fight for you. I would use him again if ever needed. Thank You for the good work.
I found him to be very focused and confident. I feel his military experience adds a great attribute to his legal skills. He is a lawyer that will fight the hard battle and win. William
I worked with Edward and found him to be a very diligent hard working young attorney who was willing to go above and beyond to get the right result.
I've used this attorney for several different things (custody & traffic) and he has always worked hard for me! Easy to get ahold of (huge plus!), knowledgable, affordable! Highly recommended! I've sent a few friends to him and they all loved him as well.
Recently hired The Meranda Law Firm to represent me in a criminal matter. Edward Itayim was the attorney assigned to me. I was hesitant at first because he is a younger attorney. However, he worked really hard for me. He's definitely not the type of lawyer that is going to take you into court and plea you out unless that is your only option. He was tough and confident for a young lawyer and fought for me every step of the way. He was also good at responding to phone calls and what not.
