About Michael P
Michael P Schoenbohm earned his law degree from Valparaiso University School of Law, receiving a J.D. in 1982. He entered the legal profession at a time when bankruptcy law was beginning to evolve in response to shifting economic patterns. Early training and classroom study gave him the technical grounding that would shape his practice.
Soon after completing law school he became active in local and federal legal organizations. He joined the Outagamie County Bar Association in 1982 and established a presence in the federal forum by gaining membership in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin in 1984. Those affiliations provided steady contact with both local practitioners and federal judges.
In 1988 he took on a public role as a Chapter 7 panel trustee for the U.S. Department of Justice. In that capacity he administered bankruptcy estates, handled liquidation responsibilities and managed distributions to creditors. The trustee role exposed him to the administrative and procedural dimensions of bankruptcy work and deepened his familiarity with federal bankruptcy practice.
Throughout the 1990s and into the present he maintained ties to professional networks focused on insolvency and consumer bankruptcy matters. He has been a member of the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Lawyers since 1992, a group that keeps practitioners informed about changes in case law and practice standards. That membership aligns with his long record of handling consumer bankruptcy matters and related proceedings.
He practices at Schoenbohm Law, S.C., where his work reflects decades spent in bankruptcy and related litigation. His caseload has included representation of debtors, administration of estate matters and appearances in federal and state courts. He has remained active in the local bar and federal court circles that were part of his early career.
He has built a practice shaped by years of trustee appointments, courtroom appearances and steady involvement in bankruptcy associations. His current practice focuses on consumer bankruptcy and related litigation.
