Michael Dracos Dimitry (August 9, 1874 - October 21, 1929) was a Creole politician and lawyer known for legally representing New Orleans Storyville brothel madam Lulu White in her 1905 tax evasion incident along with George W Flynn.

His great-grandmother was mixed-race Creole socilate Marianne Celeste Dragon and they experienced racism throughout the 19th century.

Regrettably, he died of heart disease and pneumonia at the age of 55 and he is buried at the Metairie Cemetery in New Orleans.

Michael was listed as a delegate to the state nomination convention in 1900 and one year later he was working as the New Orleans assistant city attorney.

[11][12] In the ensuing years, he represented a cousin named Alexander J. Dimitry who was being charged with stealing mail while using cocaine, morphine, and alcohol.

New Orleans wanted to move the colored or black prostitutes and madams of Storyville to the uptown red-light district which was considered a less wealthy area filled with crime.

[20] One year after Storyville was shut down Lulu was arrested on federal charges but had a clean criminal record.

Michael personally wrote the U.S. Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer in April 1919, pleading her case, and received no answer.

Lulu personally wrote a letter on June 6, 1919, pleading with Palmer including appeals from her doctor, her lawyer Michael, and the original sentencing judge Rufus Foster who felt she served her time.

U.S. Attorney General Palmer was sympathetic to her story and helped her apply to President Woodrow Wilson for executive clemency which she received by cable from Paris on June 16, 1919, and she was released from prison.
