I was lucky enough to have Mr. Lenert as my attorney and would recommend him very highly. He was attentive and assertive in handling a situation for me.

Thank you Mr. Lenert

Being my first time interacting with an attorney I could not be happier that it was Mr. Lenert. These situations can be quite confusing/stressful but he made sure that I understood the process and was always available to answer my questions. I highly recommend Mr. Lenert for his professionalism and r...esponsiveness I experienced during my case. Very pleased with the outcome and glad he represented me! Thank you Mr. Lenert!

One of a kind attorney!

I would highly recommend Mr. Lenert if you are looking for a unique attorney who is hard working and truly cares. Not only is he experienced and strong technically, but he also brings genuine empathy making you feel comfortable in a tough situation. He listens to learn, is extremely responsive, tak...es the time to offer detailed informative explanations, and answers questions thoroughly. I always felt he was fair and had my best interests in mind as he navigated the case forward. These skills set him apart and I think Mr. Lenert would be a great mentor to other attorneys in the field. Thank you for all you have done, Mr. Lenert, it was a pleasure working with you!

Simply THE BEST

My small business had a rather strange and upsetting situation that resulted in us reaching out to Michael for the first time. Not only was he incredibly responsive, he was kind and supportive through out the entire ordeal. He took complete ownership and really was our shining hero through this event.... I must say, I never want to be back in this situation ever again, BUT the silver lining we found was stumbling across a one of a kind lawyer like Mike. We will recommend him to EVERYONE we know!! Thank you Mike!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
