Dayian announces candidacy for Montgomery County Family Court Judge | The Daily Gazette
SECTIONS
Michael Dayian has long felt that working in family court is his calling, something that goes back to his earliest days in the legal profession when he appeared before Judge Vincent J. Reilly Jr. in Schenectady County Family Court in 1995.
“I remember [Reilly] remarking that the ink on my certificate of admission had not yet dried,” Dayian said.
Much of Dayian’s early career was spent working in family court systems around the Capital Region, as both a private attorney and a public defender in Montgomery County. He eventually was hired as the court attorney for Montgomery County Court Judge Joseph M. Sise, then stayed on in the same role under Judge Felix J. Catena once Sise was elected to the Montgomery County Supreme Court in 1999.
