His passion is advocating for victims’ rights and holding accountable those whose negligence threatens their rights. Attorney Babanikas graduated from Thayer Academy (2017) with the distinction of a Global Scholar for his efforts in providing community service and relief in Costa Rica, as well as being a voice for the Syrian Refugee Crisis in organizing and hosting a symposium as a call for support and relief.

Driven by a passion for the advocacy of others, Attorney Babanikas attended law school after college and graduated Cum Laude from New England Law | Boston (2024). While in law school, Attorney Babanikas dedicated himself to developing and honing his litigation skills. He was a 3-year member and captain of the PAD Mock Trial Team at New England Law. During his law school career, he competed all three years at a national competition, receiving nominations for “Best Attorney” all three years.

Through this program, he has had the opportunity to assist in the growth of several current Keches Law Group law clerks. Most importantly to him, Attorney Babanikas is a proud Greek-American. His Hellenic culture and Greek Orthodox Christian faith serve as the cornerstones of his identity and his passion for advocating for justice to individuals who have been wronged. Attorney Babanikas grew up in Easton, Massachusetts, as a child of a Greek family. His upbringing was centered around the Greek value of φιλότιμο. This translates to the “love of honor.” Φιλότιμο represents a deep-seated, selfless commitment to doing the right thing, encompassing duty, dignity, and kindness, without expecting reward. He strives to embrace these values in all he does. Michael is also an avid sports fan, particularly football and baseball, which he played at competitive levels. During his free time, he enjoys fishing, golfing, skiing, and playing chess. Most importantly, Michael loves to spend time with his family, friends, and his puppy Argo.
