About Michael Daurio

Michael Daurio is a Los Angeles-based personal injury attorney specializing in the litigation of matters involving catastrophic injuries. He received his law degree from Southwestern Law School, where he earned the CALI Excellence for the Future Award for his performance in Evidence, in addition to a Witkin Award in Community Property. At BD&J, Michael has handled cases involving motor vehicle collisions, wrongful death, premises liability, and dog bites. He has recovered more than $60 million for his clients, priding himself on the personal relationships he develops with them.

Michael’s passion for this work derives from the appreciation that his clients trust in him to provide top-notch legal representation in what is often their greatest time of need. Injury victims have only one chance to receive a monetary figure as compensation for a myriad of life-changing and lifelong harms, and Michael will not stop until that figure reflects full justice for his clients. Michael was named a Southern California Rising Star by Super Lawyers in 2025.
