About Michael Francis

Michael Francis Dailey practices criminal law in the Bronx, New York. He has been a solo practitioner since 2008, focusing on a variety of cases including DUI and DWI offenses, as well as divorce proceedings. His office is located in the heart of the Bronx, where he serves clients from diverse backgrounds, handling the requirements of the legal system with a commitment to achieving favorable outcomes. He earned his J.D. from Fordham University School of Law in 1994, following a Bachelor of Science degree in Finance from Manhattan College in 1982. His legal career began shortly after law school when he took on the role of Assistant District Attorney.

This position provided him with inexperience in the courtroom, where he developed his litigation skills and developed a understanding of criminal law. Before his legal career, Michael served as a police officer and patrol sergeant beginning in 1985. This background in law enforcement gives him a unique perspective on criminal cases. This lets the attorney approach each situation with a knowledge of both sides of the law. He transitioned to the legal field in 1993 as a law intern, which solidified his desire to advocate for individuals facing criminal charges. Throughout his career, he has held various positions, including associate attorney and lawyer while also serving as a police officer.

This dual experience has enriched his practice. As a result, the attorney can effectively represent clients in criminal defense cases. His work often involves navigating pre-trial motions, plea negotiations, and trial proceedings, ensuring that his clients receive the best possible representation. Michael is an active member of several legal associations, including the Bronx Bar Association and the New York State Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers. His involvement in these organizations reflects his dedication to staying updated on legal trends and best practices in criminal defense. He also maintains connections with the Bronx District Attorney's Alumni Association, further enhancing his professional network.

With a career spanning over three decades, Michael continues to be a advocate for his clients in the Bronx. His experience in both law enforcement and criminal law allows him to provide well-rounded legal services. Whether representing clients in DUI cases or divorce proceedings, he approaches each case with diligence and a commitment to justice.
