MICHAEL EDWARD SCANIO
I have been in the active practice of law since 1974.
I have had extensive criminal and civil trial experience with the focus on civil work for the past 30 years.
My practice consisted of primarily complex family law cases,
personal injury and wrongful death work, and an extensive mediation calendar.
I will customarily mediate approximately 200 cases a year.
I also have experience in representing clients and mediating in the collaborative law process.
I am a Trained Mediator with specific training in Family Mediation.
I am fluent in Spanish, which has been an important part of my practice since 1974.
I am able to and enjoy representing clients whose primary language is Spanish.
I have conducted numerous mediations in Spanish.
We are set up to do mediations remotely or in person at our offices on the courthouse square in San Marcos.
My mediation calendar is available online.
I also have an in house paralegal to manage the calendar.
I received my undergraduate degree with honors from the University of Texas at Austin,
majoring in Economics with substantial coursework in Latin American Studies and Romance Languages.
I taught Spanish for 1 year in the Rio Grande Valley.
I then attended law school at the University of Texas at Austin and
I was admitted to practice law in the State of Texas in 1974.
San Marcos is a beautiful college town that I have called home since 1974.
