Michael T. Yonke
Insurance companies, hospitals, and corporations have teams of lawyers working to protect their interests. So should you.
Mike is the founding partner of Yonke Law and a trial attorney based in Kansas City, Missouri. Drawing on over 25 years of courtroom experience, he has dedicated his career to one clear mission: representing people harmed by others' negligence with an uncompromising, client-centered approach.
Mike was raised watching his father, Albert Yonke, build a distinguished legal advocacy legacy in Kansas City. He entered law practice in 1994, and in 2001, he founded Yonke Law to create a team aligned with his vision: that injured people deserve not just representation, but a steadfast attorney who will pursue the full compensation they are owed while treating them with dignity.
High-stakes litigation. Personal commitment.
A native of Kansas City and a graduate of UMKC Law, Mike brings relentless preparation to every case. The firm focuses exclusively on people who have been injured through no fault of their own — whether through motor vehicle or truck collisions, medical malpractice, wrongful death, or catastrophic workplace accidents.
What sets Mike apart is the mindset: fierce advocacy combined with attentive, respectful client service. When the stakes are high, he believes every detail matters — from preserving evidence to crafting persuasive arguments in court.
For Mike, each case is personal. When you choose Yonke Law, you choose a firm that views your story as the centerpiece. Mike's team will build your case, stand up to the insurance companies or corporations, and work toward the result you deserve.
