Piece of Mind

Mike was amazing! He sent me an advertisement letter for a case against me before I even received the ticket in the mail. I had a ticket for Driving After Revocation due to an OWI. This meant a possible maximum of $2500 fine and up to 1 year in county jail. I was afraid that because of this ticket I... would lose my license and my job. Mike gave me the piece of mind that he would be able to take care of the situation and do what was in my best interest. He handled the entire case within a week after we met way before the court date was even upon us. He was able to negotiate with the DA's office and reduced my ticket to No License on Person, which resulted in a $330 ticket, 0 points on my driving record, and no jail time (it was no longer a criminal charge, only a traffic violation). When the court date came, I didn't even have to say one word to the judge and it was over with, with the best possible outcome. His fee was extremely reasonable for the situation. Hopefully I will never have to use his services again, but if I find myself in need of legal counsel, Mike will be the first person that I call. Mike is very personable and will listen to your situation and be able to lay out all your options for you.

Mike was a huge help

When our disabled adult daughter found herself in need of legal advice Mike made time in his busy schedule to help in a very timely manner. He spent all the time needed not only to make sure we understood everything, but also to make sure she understood everything as well. I'm sure we would have foun...d ourselves fumbling around in court without Mike's direction. The judge ruled in our daughters favor I'm not sure that would have happened without Mr. Kenitz' help. I highly recommend Mike Kenitz for your legal representation. I highly recommend Mike Kenitz for your legal needs.

Personal Injury Case

This was my first experience with having to retain an attorney for any legal matter. He made me feel very comfortable during the entire process. He was quick to follow up and respond to any questions I had. I was extremely satisfied with the outcome of my case and would highly recommend Attorney Keni...tz for any legal services.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
