Biography

Attorney Michael W. Lenert is an experienced litigator who has obtained tremendous results for both injured individuals as well as businesses and government entities. Mr. Lenert practices in the areas of personal injury, medical negligence, workers' compensation, commercial and general litigation.

As a trial attorney, Mike understands that regardless of the nature of the case or the client involved, the only way he can passionately and effectively tell the story of his client is to be knowledgeable of the law and in command of the facts of each case.

"My clients entrust me with the responsibility to be their voice in a time of great difficulty and challenge. This is not a duty that I take lightly. The only way to be a voice of strength and fortitude for my clients is to devote every ounce of my energy into zealously advocating on their behalf and to be painstakingly through in the investigation, preparation, and trial of every case."

Mr. Lenert received his undergraduate degree cum laude from Marquette University in 2005 and his law degree cum laude from Creighton University School of Law in 2008. He is a member of the Alpha Sigma Nu Jesuit Honor Society and the Order of Omega Honor Society.

Mr. Lenert’s steadfast approach has earned him numerous honors. He’s been selected by his peers as both an Illinois Rising Star, a distinction earned by no more than 2.5 percent of the lawyers in the state, and an Illinois Emerging Lawyer, a distinction earned by less than 2 percent of all lawyers in the state under the age of 40. He has been selected as one of the “10 Best” for Client Satisfaction by the American Institute of Personal Injury Attorneys, "Top 40 Lawyer Under 40" by the American Society of Legal Advocates, and was also recognized as the Kane County Bar Association’s Outstanding New Lawyer.

Mike is licensed to practice law in the State of Illinois and is admitted to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. He is an active member of the Illinois Trial Lawyers Association (ITLA) where he served on its Board of Managers from 2019-2020, the Illinois State Bar Association, and the Kane County Bar Association.

Mr. Lenert is actively involved in the community through his work with several local charities. He was born in Aurora, Illinois, and is a lifelong resident of the Fox Valley. He attended grade school at Holy Angels in Aurora and high school at Marmion Academy. Mike and his wife, Katie, reside in Geneva.
