An Excellent Attorney

Michael Dailey was our attorney for a custody case. He was proactive in fighting for our case. He is not, however, a "yes" man. He gave us straight advice, all the time. Mike explained legal tems and procedures in a way that was clear to my wife and I. I feel that Mike genuinely cared for us and... for the outcome of our case. I would recommended him to anyone I know that is looking for an attorney. I was very pleased with my experience with Mike as my attorney.

Family lawyer | Sep 25

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Michael F. Dailey and I worked together on a complex interstate custody matter in 2008. Mr. Dailey represented our client's custody interests in New York, and I in Maryland. I found him to be fully knowledgeable not only about the relevant law, but also on how to apply it practically in court to achieve our cleint's goals, which he did unequivocally. Many attorneys can quote the black letter law on an issue, but it is his ability to apply the law to accomplish real results for his clients that sets Mike Dailey apart from the average attorney. I look forward to working with him on matters in the future, and plan to refer any client who needs a talented and professional family law attorney in New York to Mr. Dailey."
