ATTORNEY PROFILES

Mike Connors

Mike was born and raised in the Upper Peninsula in Iron Mountain, Michigan. After high school, Mike graduated with honors from the University of Michigan, where he earned degrees in Political Science and Philosophy. Mike went on to attend Indiana University School of Law in Bloomington, Indiana, graduating in 2006 with cum laude distinction. After law school, Mike began his legal career at a boutique bankruptcy firm in Indianapolis, Indiana, assisting clients with debt relief and various financial issues. In addition to handling the firm's Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcies, Mike went after debt collectors for Fair Debt Collection Practices Act violations, securing large financial awards for his clients. In doing so, Mike took great pride in combining the highest quality legal work with a human touch, understanding that his clients were navigating an extremely difficult and frightening time in their lives. He continues to bring this commitment and loyalty to every client in every case. Mike went on to open his own practice in Indianapolis, where he concentrated on personal injury cases, bankruptcy law, business formations and estate planning. One of the highlights of his legal career occurred during this period, when he spearheaded and successfully settled a class action lawsuit against a national debt collector for violations of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and Fair Credit Reporting Act. After getting married to his wife, Nicole, and having his first child in 2019, Mike and his family decided to move back to Iron Mountain. Mike now brings his diverse legal background and more than 15 years of legal experience to the Laydon Law Group. His current practice consists of handling personal injury cases as well as providing bankruptcy, real estate, and business/estate planning services. When not working, Mike appreciates spending time with his friends and family, including his dog (Jordy), reading, and enjoying the outdoors. Like Matt, he is also an avid Green Bay Packers fan.
