Mike grew up in Kansas City. He attended undergrad at the University of Missouri – Columbia. He graduated from law school at the University of Missouri –Kansas City in 1994. Mike always wanted to become an attorney. He watched his father who was a lawyer for more than 60 years fight for people who were injured by the negligence of others. He understood from an early age the importance of lawyers who represent injured people or family members of those killed. Without them, these unfortunate people would have their rights trampled.
Mike tried his first jury trial while still a law student. He obtained a manslaughter conviction as an intern in the Jackson County, Missouri Prosecutor’s Office. After working in the prosecution office, he went on to work at his father’s law firm where he only handled personal injury cases and wrongful death cases. He started his own law firm in 2001 which has evolved into what is now Yonke Law LLC.
Mike focuses his entire practice on the representation of victims injured or killed as a result of the negligence of medical professionals, corporations, truck drivers and others. The firm provides aggressive representation. Every case is handled as if it will proceed to trial. Mike has learned over the years that preparing every case this in this way results in better settlements or in significant verdicts at if the case goes to trial.
This approach bore out in a 2013 medical malpractice wrongful death trial in Kansas City. Mike obtained the only plaintiff’s medical malpractice verdict in the Kansas City metropolitan area which consists of five counties.
Mike and his firm do not limit their practice to Missouri in Kansas. They have litigated cases in California, Arizona, Colorado, Iowa, Nebraska, Texas, Illinois, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Florida.
