About Michael R.
Michael R. Neiman built his legal foundation in the Midwest. He earned a J.D. from Capital University Law School in 2019 after completing undergraduate studies at Ohio State University, where he received a B.S. in Corporate Finance in 2015. Those academic choices set the tone for work that intersects business, courts and transactional matters.
He began gaining practical experience while still a student. His earliest listed position is a 2014 law clerk role at Joslyn Law Office. He later returned to court settings as a legal extern for Chief Judge Edmund A. Sargus, Jr. of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio in 2017. That same year he also served as a law clerk at Sikora Law LLC. In 2019 he served as a legal extern to Justice Patrick DeWine at the Ohio Supreme Court, then joined Sikora Law as an associate the same year.
Neiman moved into firm leadership quickly. In 2021 he launched Neiman Law LLC and is listed as its principal lawyer. He also holds an of-counsel role at Sikora Law LLC, a position noted in 2021. Those dual roles reflect a practice that balances independent client work with ongoing collaboration at an established firm.
His admissions include the Ohio bar and the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio. He maintains professional connections outside the courtroom as well. He has been a developing leader with the National Association of Industrial and Office Properties (NAIOP) since 2017, a membership that places him in networks tied to commercial real estate and development professionals.
Day-to-day, his background pairs courtroom exposure with transactional and business-oriented training. Early clerkships placed him alongside judges at state and federal levels. Later roles put him on both sides of client representation, from associate responsibilities to heading his own firm. Those experiences inform how he evaluates legal issues and prepares matters for court or negotiation.
Colleagues describe a lawyer who moves comfortably between litigation and business contexts. He has handled filings and proceedings in federal district court and manages matters across Ohio. He balances casework with the administrative and client-facing duties that come with running a small firm.
Neiman practices at Neiman Law LLC and represents clients in matters before Ohio courts and the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio.
