About Kurt Bruderly

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.
