With experience in family law matters for nearly two decades, Robert Michael “Mike” Day, Jr. is the managing attorney of Day Family Law, PLLC. With almost 2 decades of legal experience, Mike is board-certified in Family Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization – a distinction that less than 1% of attorneys in Texas hold. His practice focuses on high-net-worth divorces, complex property division, and child custody disputes.

His experience across multiple areas of litigation has shaped his ability to handle complex and high-stakes cases with confidence.
Mike earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Texas at Austin in 2002. He then honed his litigation skills while attending South Texas College of Law-Houston, where he graduated with his law degree in 2005, practicing through the school’s moot court program before beginning his professional career as a felony prosecutor in 2006. In 2008, Mike shifted his focus to family law in Harris County, where he had the opportunity to build a reputation for strategic advocacy in high-stakes cases. After serving for some time as a trial attorney with the Texas Attorney General’s Office and moving to Houston, Mike started his own private practice, Day Family Law, PLLC. He has now spent over 15 years working on high-stakes divorce cases, business valuations, child custody disputes, international custody disputes, contested asset division, property division, and cases involving children with special needs.
Outside the courthouse and his practice, Mike is an active leader, deeply involved in the legal community. Since 2018, he has served as the Marital Property and Homestead Reporter for the Real Estate, Probate, and Trust Law Section within the State Bar of Texas. Mike also serves as the CLE Subcommittee Chair for the Business Law Section and as a Board Member for the Gulf Coast Family Law Specialists, lecturing on legal ethics and family law frequently.
