Michael D. Wysocki believes that a family law attorney must possess the skills of a counselor, mentor, negotiator, and litigator. He knows that no two families, children or cases are alike and he finds unique and creative ways to solve the current problems while preventing future issues. He states his personal philosophy, “A short-term victory is not good enough. I strive to build solid and lasting results.” He accomplishes this through a results-oriented strategy focused on the client’s goals.

Having tried cases in over 40 Texas counties, countless bench trials and jury trials, Mr. Wysocki’s experience in the courtroom is unmatched. He focuses on family law litigation across the state of Texas, representing men and women in divorce, child custody, and complex property division cases.

A summa cum laude graduate of The University of Texas at Tyler, Mr. Wysocki later earned his law degree from Texas Tech University School of Law, where he graduated magna cum laude. While in law school, Mr. Wysocki was a member of the Texas Tech Law Review. In 2014, he received the Distinguished Young Alumnus award from The University of Texas at Tyler.

Board Certified in Family Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, he has been selected as a Texas Super Lawyer in 2014-2015 and a Texas Rising Star in 2010 and 2012-2013. These honors are bestowed by a peer-vote to only a very small percentage of Texas attorneys each year. He has also been recognized for professionalism by inclusion in the Annette Stewart Family Law Inns of Court.

Mr. Wysocki lives in Dallas with his wife, also a family law attorney, and his daughter and son.
