When your luck runs out.

Mike represented me after I was hit on my bike by a negligent, inattentive driver. Being a biker himself, there was an easy connection and he possesses the perfect balance between genuine empathy and rational assessment and advice. He made no promises although his predictions about the likely proce...ss and outcomes were always accurate. I was always taken care of and I really felt like I was his priority. His staff, to a person, was exceptionally responsive, kind, and super-competent. I'm fortunate to have had Mike handle my case.

I contacted Mike Laufenberg looking for help for a friend. Because of the nature of the issue, Mike was not able to help directly but took the time to make several calls to help us find someone who could and without any expectation of getting paid for his time. We are very grateful for all of his he...lp!

Good fortune for me to work with Mike Laufenberg...

I am relatively "gun-shy" when it comes to obtaining legal counsel, the day I met Mike Laufenberg helped subside those feelings. I am highly impressed by Mike and his willingness to help me resolve my personal injury claim. Mike recognized my hesitation to retain counsel and treated me with respe...ct and went the extra mile to put me at ease. I was given multiple options on how to contact him when I had a questions and never left me exasperated. He is truly knowledgable on all facets of a personal injury claim. Sadly for me, Mike decided to pursue a better opportunity with another firm, but I would never begrudge anyone for embracing their expanded opportunities. He provided options for me regarding the pursuit of my claim going forward which impressed me even more. Good Luck to Mike Laufenberg! I would have followed you to your new firm if you would have stayed in my community. You will be at the top of my list to contact for representation should I need counsel in the future. God Bless!!

Much better than anyone you'll see on a TV commercial

And he really cares about his clients on a personal level. I met Mike a number of years ago after I was hit by a semi. He represented me and got me a very fair settlement in spite of me not having suffered many tangible injuries other than a couple of gashes and the emotional damage that came along... with such an accident. Fast forward a few years to when I was involved in yet another car accident. Similar to my first one, I didn't have many medical bills at all. Because of this I knew that hiring an attorney wasn't the right move this time. However, due to my prior relationship with Mike, I consulted with him on numerous occasions as I negotiated a fair settlement with the insurance company. Mike was incredibly responsive and extremely helpful. We must have exchanged over 30 emails back and forth and every time he would respond within a few hours. Thanks to him I was able to negotiate a much better settlement than what I was initially offered. All this without me having hired him. This really shows a high level of care for his clients. The fact that in spite of being very busy with numerous clients (who have retained him) he still takes the time to help out (as a consultant) makes him truly remarkable. I would 150% recommend him to anyone who has been involved in a motor vehicle accident. Very trustworthy and a great professional.

Took the time to help, even though I wasn't a potential client

I recently had a friend who needed help regarding a workplace accident regarding a negligent third party, and she did not know how to begin or who to call. I called Michael Laufenberg to inquire about his services on her behalf. He listened to my friend's situation and explained that because the inci...dent occurred in Minnesota, he could not represent her. He asked me to have my friend document the incident and correlating injuries so he could better understand the case. She did that, and in the meantime Mike reached out to some of his colleagues who practiced in Minnesota, to gage who would be a good fit to represent her. He ended up recommending an excellent lawyer who will help my friend get the proper representation she needs. At all times Mike was caring and prompt in his responses and the actions he took on her behalf. It was obvious that he genuinely wanted to help her, regardless of the fact she was not a potential client. He helped my friend in a time of her extreme need, with no hope of monetary reward. Just the satisfaction of knowing that he helped someone who needed it. That is a very laudable and all too rare quality in people today. Thank you, Mike! God bless you and your family!
