About Michael J.
Michael J. Davey graduated from the Pennsylvania State University Dickinson School of Law in 2005 after completing a bachelor's degree in Government and Politics at the University of Maryland, College Park in 2001. He arrived at law school following an undergraduate study that emphasized public affairs and policy. That academic grounding shaped his early interest in litigation and court practice.
After earning his J.D., Davey entered private practice. He served as an associate at Eckell, Sparks, Levy, Auerbach, Monte, Sloane, Matthews & Auslander, P.C., where he handled matters that took him into state and federal court. Colleagues describe him as methodical in preparing cases and direct in court. The record of admissions he maintains reflects that orientation: state bars in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, and several federal forums, including the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey, the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, the Third Circuit Court of Appeals, and admission to practice before the Supreme Court of the United States.
That range of admissions allows him to appear on trial dockets and in appellate proceedings. He has experience navigating procedural differences between state and federal practice and has litigated matters that required filings in both trial and appellate levels. He has also pursued client matters that required coordination across jurisdictions, an activity that frequently involves strategic choices about venue and federal versus state procedure.
Outside the courtroom, Davey maintains a visible professional profile. He holds memberships in the New Jersey Bar Association, the Pennsylvania Association for Justice, and the American Association for Justice. He is active locally as a member of the Delaware County Bar Association and the Delaware County Trial Lawyers Association. Community involvement includes service on the Board of Directors of the Northbrook Community Homeowners Association, where he participates in governance and local issue resolution.
Colleagues say he brings a steady approach to case management, emphasizing clear deadlines and practical solutions for clients. In practice he combines courtroom advocacy and written appellate work, drawing on his admissions to a range of federal and state courts. He divides his time between offices in Media and West Chester, which serve clients across southeastern Pennsylvania and neighboring New Jersey.
He continues to handle matters in state and federal courts, including trial and appellate proceedings, from his Media and West Chester offices.
