About Michael
Biography
From his offices in Orlando and Kissimmee, Michael R. De Canio assists clients throughout Central Florida in complex marital and family law matters, including divorce, child custody and support, and property distribution. 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. Michael enjoys applying these analytical skills to solve complex issues and his knowledge of strategic business negotiations enables him to adapt to a wide range of difficult and stressful situations that can often arise in family law matters.
Mr. De Canio is an active member of the Florida Bar Association. He was also a Florida Supreme Court certified county court mediator. 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.”
