“Mr. Dailey handled a very difficult divorce matter with understanding and skill. The matter was guided in a positive and timely manner and the outcome was very favorable.”
A Satisfied Client (Review From Avvo)
“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 terms 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 recommend him to anyone I know that is looking for an attorney. I was very pleased with my experience with Mike as my attorney.”
