Mr. De Canio attended Barry University School of Law and graduated magna cum laude from the University of Central Florida, where he received his undergraduate degree in business administration with a focus on strategic business methods. While in the legal studies program, Mr. De Canio maintained a scholarship and graduated in the top 30% of his class.
Before starting his legal career, Michael studied strategic business implementation and negotiation which focuses on working, communicating, and balancing interests between parties to obtain the best possible solution.

His approach is concise: “Treat each and every person with respect and conduct interactions in a professional and ethical manner. Vehemently litigate the issues that you feel are justified while conceding the ones that are meritless. Attempt to mediate and settle issues in between and always research both thoroughly to know the difference.”
