About Nicholas
Nicholas Tatro earned his undergraduate degree from DePaul University in 2005 and went on to receive his J.D. from Michigan State University College of Law in 2009. He arrived at law school after broad undergraduate study and left with a credential that sent him into state and federal courtrooms. Those academic years overlapped with practical court exposure that shaped his early legal instincts.
As a law student he worked inside local courts. He served as an intern at the Ingham County Circuit Court and spent time at the 55th District Court in Mason. Those internships put him on the front lines of case processing, calendar management and the routines of judges and clerks. The experience supplied a steady sense of how cases move through trial courts and what judges expect from attorneys.
After law school he gained admission to practice in Michigan and to the U.S. District Courts for the Western and Eastern Districts of Michigan. He is also listed as having been admitted in Illinois, though that admission is now retired. His federal admissions allow him to appear in both district courts that handle a wide range of civil and criminal matters in Michigan.
Tatro’s career has kept him tied to courtroom work and firm practice. He is on the roster at Foley Baron Metzger & Juip PLLC, where he practices alongside colleagues handling litigation and court appearances. His resume reflects steady participation in cases that require familiarity with local court procedures and federal district-court rules.
Colleagues describe him as a lawyer who understands the details of courtroom procedure. He draws on the internships and his years of practice when preparing filings and appearing before judges. He tends to favor direct, practical preparation over elaborate strategy notes. He has handled matters at different levels of the state and federal systems and is experienced at coordinating filings across jurisdictions.
Outside the courtroom he has been involved in professional circles since at least 2014, according to available membership records. That involvement has kept him current on practice developments and local rules. He continues to base his work in Michigan and to accept matters that require federal court appearances. He currently practices at Foley Baron Metzger & Juip PLLC, handling matters in Michigan and before the U.S. District Courts for the Eastern and Western Districts of Michigan.
