About Michael
Michael Araj practices law in both Virginia and Texas and is an attorney at Diggs & Sadler. He works across two state bars. That arrangement shapes the sorts of matters he handles and the way he manages client work.
He is admitted to practice in Virginia and in Texas. Those admissions allow him to file pleadings, appear in court, and provide counsel under both states' rules. Practicing in two jurisdictions requires attention to procedural detail and an ability to track divergent statutory and case law developments. Araj's work reflects that reality.
At Diggs & Sadler he serves as a member of the firm’s attorney team. He contributes to client files, prepares court papers, and collaborates with colleagues on strategy. The office environment calls for both individual case management and coordination with other lawyers, locally and across state lines.
His practice routinely involves cross-jurisdictional elements. That can mean preparing motions that conform to one state’s timing rules while answering discovery governed by the other. It can also mean coordinating filings so that clients face a coherent plan instead of competing deadlines. He supports clients through those complications and works to keep matters on schedule.
Colleagues describe him as pragmatic in approach. He prefers clear options and practical next steps. He writes for clarity and tries to make complex points easy to follow for clients and courts alike. That habit shows up in how he handles briefs, correspondence, and client meetings.
Outside the courtroom and office, he follows developments in Virginia and Texas law closely. Changes in procedure, significant appellate rulings, and statutory updates can all affect a dual-state practice. Staying current helps him advise clients about timing, risk, and possible outcomes.
As of 2026 he practices at Diggs & Sadler, representing and advising clients on matters that involve the laws of Virginia and Texas.
