About Michael E.
Michael E. Kramer is an attorney based in Georgia who serves as of counsel at Buckley Beal LLP. He brings both legal training and business education to his work. Colleagues describe him as steady and pragmatic. He maintains an active membership in the Georgia State Bar and practices from an office at The Promenade.
Kramer’s academic background spans liberal arts, law and business. He earned a B.A. from Oberlin College in 1976. He then completed a J.D. at the University of California, Davis in 1980. A decade later he returned to formal study and received an M.B.A. from Emory University in 1990. That combination of degrees informs how he approaches client matters and counsel.
After law school Kramer entered practice and over time moved into roles that combined legal work with business judgment. The record shows a steady progression from initial legal training to positions that require advising on transactional and organizational questions. His M.B.A. bolstered his ability to analyze commercial problems and to work with business leaders on practical solutions.
At Buckley Beal LLP Kramer holds the title of of counsel. In that capacity he provides experienced legal advice on a range of matters and supports the firm’s attorneys on complex files. He often serves as a senior adviser on cases and transactions rather than as the primary litigator, stepping in where longer-term institutional knowledge and measured judgment are needed.
Kramer’s current professional affiliation is with the Georgia State Bar, where he holds an active membership. He has practiced in Georgia for years and is familiar with the state’s courts and regulatory environment. He keeps current on developments that affect clients doing business in the region.
Known for a methodical approach, Kramer combines legal analysis with attention to business implications. He is comfortable reviewing contracts, counseling on corporate issues, and assisting colleagues on novel legal problems. He prefers practical solutions and clear explanations over technical complexity.
Today Kramer continues to practice at Buckley Beal LLP out of the firm’s office at The Promenade. His present work centers on advising clients and supporting the firm’s legal teams on matters arising in Georgia.
