Overview

Michael C. Dennis is a seasoned trial lawyer who represents individuals and families harmed by the negligence of others. His practice focuses on personal injury matters, including automobile accidents, medical malpractice, nursing home abuse and neglect, premises liability, and dog bite injuries. After spending more than a decade representing Fortune 500 companies, national rideshare services, and major insurance carriers, Michael now devotes his practice exclusively to advocating for the injured.

This transition was motivated by his desire to stand up for the vulnerable and hold accountable the same powerful institutions he once defended. Having worked within the system, Michael understands how insurers and corporations evaluate risk, approach litigation strategy, and handle claims. Today, he uses that insight to level the playing field for people facing life-altering injuries, profound loss, and uncertain futures.

Michael earned his law degree from the University of Toledo College of Law in 2011, where he was recognized for excellence in trial advocacy and served as a law clerk for the Monroe County Prosecutor’s Office. Before joining the firm, he worked as in-house counsel for a Fortune 1000 insurance company and later became a partner at a prominent Midwest law firm.

How I Serve Clients

When someone is seriously injured, the aftermath can be overwhelming—physically, emotionally, and financially. I work closely with clients and their families to understand what they’re going through and to guide them through a process that often feels stacked against them.

My goal is to make the legal side of recovery as manageable and empowering as possible. I take pride in being accessible, responsive, and honest with my clients. From the first conversation, I work to earn their trust, explain their rights, and develop a strategy that puts them in the best possible position—whether through settlement or trial.

Having spent years inside the insurance world, I know what companies look for and how they try to minimize payouts. I use that knowledge to build compelling cases that demand accountability and maximize recovery. Every case I take on is prepared with the expectation that it may go to trial, and I never lose sight of what matters most: achieving justice for the people who need it most.
