Why not use one of TI's DRV8xxx or other specialized driver chips?
You can see the TI gizmos here:

http://www.ti.com/lsds/ti/apps/motor/products/integrated_motor_drivers.page

It's been well over a decade since I've used microcontrollers to do
anything more than the setup and clocking of the motor driver IC.
