Mike Day was born in New Orleans, and moved to Texas when his father was transferred to the Houston-area with Exxon.  Mike attended the University of Texas at Austin, where he was a member of the Liberal Arts Honors Program and graduated with a degree in History in 2002.  He received a Dean’s Honors Scholarship to attend South Texas College of Law-Houston.  During law school, Mike learned a great deal about trial advocacy and was highly involved in the nationally recognized moot court program.

Mike began his legal career as a small-town felony prosecutor.  A month into the job, he conducted his first jury trial in a murder case.  In addition to managing an active felony docket, Mike was also responsible for obtaining protective orders on behalf of domestic violence victims.  Thereafter, Mike worked for then-Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott where he defended medical providers and state employees in civil lawsuits in in both Texas courts and federal courts at the trial and appellate levels.  After meeting his future wife, Mike returned to Houston in 2008 and shifted the focus of his practice to family law. Since then, Mike has successfully represented family law clients in jury trials, bench trials, arbitrations, depositions, mediations, appeals, and various hearings. Not only does Mike enjoy the intellectual challenge of high net worth divorces, he also has a passion for family law matters involving children with special needs.

In 2022, Mike became Board Certified in Family Law and joined the Jenkins & Kamin family.  In addition to his private practice, Mike serves as the Marital Property and Homestead Reporter of the Real Estate, Probate, and Trust Litigation section of the State Bar of Texas.  This role requires Mike to prepare quarterly reports summarizing the most cutting-edge cases on the intersection of characterization (i.e., whether property is community property or separate property) with trusts, inheritance, business valuation, and real estate issues to this section’s attorney members.

Mike has previously served on the Board of Directors of the Family Law Section of the Houston Bar Association and has twice served as a Team Leader in the Burta Rhoads Raborn Family Law Inn of Court.  In 2017, he won the “Outstanding Article Award” from the Houston Bar Foundation for his article examining unresolved issues involving same sex marriages. Mike also received the “Individual Volunteer of the Year Award” at the Harris County Pro Bono Bench Bar Conference in 2017.  He is a fellow of the Houston Bar Foundation and the Texas Bar Foundation.  When he is not practicing law, Mike enjoys spending time with his family, reading, and traveling.
