Kurt W. Bruderly
ATTORNEY
Kurt W. Bruderly (“Brewed-early”) received his Juris Doctorate from the University of Toledo College of Law (’07), after first receiving his Bachelor’s Degree in Economics from the University of Michigan (’03). While in law school, Kurt worked as an extern for Judge Arlene Singer at the Ohio Sixth District Court of Appeals, and clerked at the law firm of Wittenberg, Phillips, Levy & Nusbaum, a staple of the Toledo legal community.
Admitted to practice in the State of Ohio in 2007 and the United States Federal District Court for the Northern District of Ohio in 2013, Kurt has been defending the rights of thousands of citizens from all over Northwest Ohio for well over a decade.
Kurt specializes in criminal defense on all levels and prides himself on giving clients the opportunity to participate in their own defense. He understands that the definition of “victory” in the courtroom is different for everyone and that the difference between a good lawyer and a great lawyer is the latter is also a counselor, educator, and most importantly listener. He promises clients that he will leave no stone unturned and will focus on their individual desires, while guiding them through the legal process with honesty, integrity, and tenacity.
This approach has earned him the respect of not only his clients, but also local judges and attorneys. In 2009, just two years into his practice, Kurt won his first felony jury trial and just five years into his practice, Kurt was appointed to his first murder case in 2012 – successfully reducing his client’s charges from Murder to Involuntary Manslaughter. In 2013, Kurt became one of the youngest local attorneys appointed to the Federal Criminal Justice Act Panel, qualifying him to represent indigent defendants indicted for federal crimes. From early in his career, Kurt has shown that he does not shy away from difficult cases and he excels in the courtroom.
“I think my clients appreciate the fact that they have an attorney who actually listens to them. Unfortunately, some of our best legal minds forget that there is an extraordinarily human element to what we do. There is a reason attorneys are called “Counselors” and I have not forgotten that reason. I believe in providing my clients with every possible solution to their legal issues, then sitting down with them and evaluating what option best suits their needs and desires. Honest and sound legal advice allows them to make the best decision for themselves. In the end, I want my clients to have peace of mind – something that is invaluable.”
Kurt is currently a member of the Ohio State Bar Association (OSBA) where he was selected as a 2013 delegate for the OSBA Leadership Academy. He is also an elected member of the Toledo Bar Association’s Board of Directors and the recipient of the 2017 Trustees Award for showing professionalism and dedication to the Association. He helps educate fellow lawyers by teaching Continuing Legal Education courses and mentors newly admitted lawyers through the Supreme Court of Ohio’s Lawyer Mentorship Program.
When he is not in the office, Kurt enjoys working-out, golfing, watching his beloved Wolverines, and spending time with his family. However, he also contributes to his community having previously served on the boards of numerous local non-profit organizations.
OUR COURTROOM VICTORIES
Victory does not always mean, “not guilty”. Each case and each client is unique. “Victory” can mean working with or against detectives in a manner that results in never being charged. “Victory” can mean negotiating a resolution that allows someone to get drug treatment or mental health services. It can also mean modifying charges to accurately reflect the crime that may have occurred. For you, it may mean a result that allows you to get back to work quickly, back to your family faster, or allows you to pursue your dreams.
Trials are necessary, and they are the most public part of a criminal case. However, a vast majority of cases do not, and should not, go to trial. Listed here are a few notable courtroom victories.
