Michael A. Roberts

Michael concentrates his practice in the areas of professional liability and healthcare liability defense. Prior to joining Marshall Dennehey, Michael gained valuable litigation experience as an associate at a regional defense firm, where he supported high-exposure medical malpractice cases and contributed to successful outcomes at both the trial and appellate levels.

Michael is a graduate of Northern Kentucky University Chase College of Law, where he graduated magna cum laude and finished in the top 10% of his class. Early into law school, Michael demonstrated exceptional leadership abilities and a commitment to excellence. Michael was elected by the student body to serve as President of the Student Bar Association, where he was instrumental in organizing events and initiatives that fostered student engagement and professional development. He would then go on to serve as the Executive Editor of the Northern Kentucky Law Review, contributing to the publication of both the general and symposium issues. Prior to this election, Michael’s scholarly work was widely recognized when his student note, "The Failure of HB 463: How Retributive Justice Policies Have Destroyed the Initiative of Rehabilitation, 50 N. Ky. L. Rev. 205," was selected for publication in the 50th volume of the Northern Kentucky Law Review.

Before attending law school, Michael graduated summa cum laude from Eastern Kentucky University where he obtained his Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice and a Minor in Political Science. During his undergraduate career, Michael was a member of the Eastern Kentucky University Honors Program and published an Honors Thesis entitled, "The School-to-Prison Pipeline & Its Sustainability: How Violent Video Games Perpetuate School Violence in the 21st Century."

Michael is a proud product of Central Kentucky and is incredibly grateful for all of the educational opportunities the Commonwealth has provided him. He now resides in Northern Kentucky with his wife and looks forward to contributing to the legal community for years to come. He is admitted to practice in Kentucky and Ohio, as well as the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit.
