Attorney Michael D. Leffler

Michael D. Leffler is a graduate of Marquette University (B.S. 1985) and Marquette University Law School (J.D. 1988). In law school, he was awarded the Grace Holznecht Scholarship in recognition of outstanding achievement. He was involved in student government and had the honor of representing his class as he worked closely with students, administrators, and professors.


After law school, he started his career with a well-respected insurance defense firm in Racine. He soon recognized his preference was for helping the injured, not fighting them. He took a position as an associate at Daniel P. Kondos Law Offices, a personal injury law firm in Milwaukee. After a decade serving the personally injured, he co-founded Action Law Offices, S.C. with Attorney Steven C. Gabert in 1999. Today, there are three Action Law Firm offices in Wisconsin.


He has served on the Board of Directors for the Marquette University Club of Milwaukee and on the Board of Directors for the LAO Family Community Center in Milwaukee where he also served as interim Chairman of the Board. He has lectured extensively to high school students and community organizations on the various aspects of the law. Attorney Leffler is currently a member of the Wisconsin State Bar Association, Racine Bar Association, and Washington County Bar Association. He has served on the mediation committee of the Milwaukee Bar Association. He was formerly the President of the Racine Bar Association and served as a member of the Board of Governors. He is a member of the American Association for Justice, formerly known as the American Trial Lawyers Association, and the Wisconsin Association of Justice. He has been admitted to practice law in all courts in Wisconsin including federal district courts.

Action For Victims Begins Here

Attorney Michael D. Leffler has concentrated his practice on the representation of the personally injured. He has fought for injured people's rights for nearly his entire career. Most of his cases have settled without the need for a trial.

Attorney Leffler is one of the Top 100 National Trial Lawyers.
