About H. Michael
H. Michael Bray is an Atlanta-area lawyer whose career stretches back to the early 1970s. He graduated from the University of Georgia with a B.A. in 1968 and earned his J.D. from the University of Georgia School of Law in 1971. Those credentials set the stage for a long practice in Georgia courts and in the federal system.
Early in his career, Bray established himself in litigation. He is admitted to practice in the State of Georgia, before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, and in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. Over decades at the bar he has handled matters that required appearances at both the trial and appellate levels.
Bray has spent the bulk of his practice at Bray & Johnson. At the firm he has worked on a range of contested matters in state and federal court. Colleagues and opposing counsel have known him as a lawyer who prefers direct, courtroom work. He has taken cases through motion practice, trials and appeals, often dealing with procedural and substantive issues common to civil litigation.
He maintains an active membership in the State Bar of Georgia. That association has been a constant throughout a career that began after law school and continued into the present decade. His experience spans changes in procedure and technology in the courts, and he has adapted his practice over time to the demands of modern litigation.
Clients seeking an attorney who understands Georgia procedure and federal practice will find Bray’s background notable for its longevity and courtroom orientation. He continues to handle litigation matters at Bray & Johnson, appearing where necessary in Georgia courts and in the federal courts for the Northern District of Georgia and the Eleventh Circuit. His current practice concentrates on litigation in state and federal venues.
