I had the privilege of working with Mike for nearly two years. He was knowledgeable, compassionate and hard-working. He took the extra time to work with clients to make sure they understood the legal steps involved in their cases. Hiring Mike would be a wise decision.

Mike is an attorney that really listens to the needs of his clients. Bankruptcy was a difficult and scary time for me, but Mike put me at ease. I would highly recommend him.
"Dr. Michael Cerniglia has worked for some of the biggest bankruptcy law firms in the country. If you need to file Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 Bankruptcy, you are in experienced hands with Michael. Wes Scott--Managing Partner at Kain & Scott"
"I have and will continue to refer clients to Mike. He has a wonderful "bedside" manner which instills real confidence in his clients. He is always very well prepared and very knowledgeable in his field. I recently sent an older client to him who was very upset about a creditor/debtor issue she was having. She called me back after her meeting with Mike and was grateful that I had pointed her in his direction."
"Michael is a bright, passionate attorney who goes out of his way to be kind to his clients. He also is the first to step forward to help another attorney. I endorse his wholeheartedly."
"Mike is very knowledgeable in bankruptcy law. What makes him a great attorney is his compassion for his clients. He genuinely cares for them to better their lives after the rough times of going through a bankruptcy."
"Michael is very knowledgeable and has an ability to think outside the box to achieve the best results for his clients."
"I endorse this lawyer. Michael John Cerniglia is a seasoned litigator of 12 plus years. He aggressively represents the best interests of his clients. Mr. Cerniglia eases his client's concerns when facing the option of a bankruptcy. He will explain the process and make himself available for any questions or concerns his client's have. I would hire him or recommend him for anyone in need of a bankruptcy attorney in Wisconsin. He is intelligent, efficient, and a zealous advocate you want on your side during this trying time in bankruptcy court. A+"
