Fakohury Law

We specialize in two critical areas of law: personal injury and bankruptcy, offering clients personalized legal representation in some of life’s most challenging moments. When you choose Michael A. Fakhoury, you’re not just hiring a lawyer—you’re gaining a dedicated advocate who will guide you every step of the way.

A Local Attorney with Deep Roots in the Hudson Valley
Michael A. Fakhoury, the founder of the firm, is a lifelong resident of the Hudson Valley. As someone who grew up in the community he now serves, Michael’s commitment to the area runs deep. His approach to the law is based on providing local residents with legal services they can trust. From accidents that cause life-changing injuries to financial hardships, Michael understands the real challenges his neighbors face and is driven to make a difference.

Personal Injury Expertise: Fighting for Fair Compensation
When you’ve been hurt in an accident—whether it’s a car crash, a workplace injury, or a slip and fall—you’re not just dealing with physical pain. The emotional stress and financial strain can be overwhelming. At Fakhoury Law Firm, we are well-versed in fighting for the rights of personal injury victims. Michael’s experience spans decades, and he is skilled at securing maximum compensation for clients, whether it’s through settlement negotiations or aggressive representation in court.

Our firm handles a wide range of personal injury cases, including:

Car accidents
Motorcycle accidents
Slip and fall injuries
Workplace accidents
Wrongful death claims

What makes our approach unique is the personal attention we give to every case. From the moment you contact us, you will work directly with Michael—not a junior associate or paralegal. He takes the time to listen, understand the full scope of your injury, and create a tailored legal strategy designed to meet your specific needs.

Our goal is to handle all the legal complexities so you can focus on what matters most: your recovery. And, since personal injury cases are handled on a contingency basis, you don’t pay unless we win your case.

Bankruptcy Law: A Fresh Start for Those in Financial Distress
In addition to personal injury law, Fakhoury Law Firm is a trusted name in bankruptcy law. Financial challenges, mounting debt, and creditor harassment can make life incredibly difficult. For many, bankruptcy provides the opportunity to hit the reset button and start fresh. With a magna cum laude education from Albany Law School and an M.B.A., Michael brings both legal and financial expertise to help clients navigate Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy.

At our firm, we take the time to thoroughly assess each client’s unique financial situation. We explain all the available options, whether it’s filing for bankruptcy or pursuing alternatives like debt consolidation. Our goal is to alleviate the stress and give our clients the tools they need to rebuild their financial future.

Michael’s expertise in bankruptcy law is recognized throughout the region, and his published works on topics like “The Mortgage Modification Process” reflect his dedication to staying on the cutting edge of legal developments. His leadership roles in organizations like the Hudson Valley Bankruptcy Bar Association also demonstrate his commitment to excellence in this field.

A History of Community Service and Excellence
What truly sets Fakhoury Law Firm apart is our deep commitment to the Dutchess County community. Since 1999, Michael has represented clients not just for pay but also through pro bono work, representing 10 clients per year without charge for over a decade. This level of service underscores our belief that everyone, regardless of their financial situation, deserves quality legal representation.

Michael has also been admitted to the U.S. Supreme Court, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, and the U.S. Bankruptcy Court. His broad range of professional associations, including membership in the NYS Trial Lawyers Association, adds further credibility to his ability to handle complex cases with precision and care.
