Michael Lynn Laufenberg
Keberle & Laufenberg, LLP
Mike has focused his practice on representing injured people and families across Wisconsin, and has tried cases to juries throughout the State of Wisconsin. While the circumstances of each case may vary – car crash, bicycle injury, unsafe property, or a dog bite – the commitment to providing aggressive, thoughtful representation to help people who have suffered a life changing injury is the same.
Mike graduated from the University of Minnesota in 1992 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Economics. He graduated from Marquette University Law School in 1995. Mike practiced for several years in Mayville, Eau Claire and Milwaukee, where he gained a broad experience in a variety of legal matters. However, the work he found most rewarding was representing people who needed help because they had suffered a life changing injury due to the carelessness of others.
Mike is a member of the Wisconsin Association for Justice. He was on its Board of Directors from 1997 to 2019, was the New Lawyers Section Chair in 2002, and has served on various other committees. Mike was selected for inclusion in the Wisconsin Super Lawyers – Rising Stars Edition in 2006 – 2008, and has been selected as a Wisconsin Super Lawyer from 2009 to 2023.
Mike is originally from Greendale, Wisconsin, and now makes the Slinger/West Bend area home with his wife, Krista, two children and their dog, Gunner. He likes to spend his free time outdoors.

- Q. Do I have to pay damages to a vehicle I hit but there wasn't any damages?
- A: If the person whose vehicle you hit cannot prove that any damage was caused to his or her vehicle, then they are not entitled to collect any damages from you.
- Q. If I give my dog away can I subsequently be held responsible for injury or damages he may cause?
- A: Wisconsin's "Dog Bite Statute" only holds owners, keepers and harborers of dogs strictly liable for injuries caused by the dog.
