After law school, I was admitted to the State Bar of Illinois and began my legal career in my hometown of Chicago, Illinois, where I represented clients in all areas of debt relief for a large firm. In 2008, I moved to Georgia and was admitted to the State Bar of Georgia. Over the years, I have gained experience at both large-volume and mid-volume consumer bankruptcy firms before starting my own practice in 2012.
I now seek to provide personal attention and counseling for all of my clients, working personally with them from their initial consultation all the way through the completion of their case. Having represented thousands of clients since I began practicing law, I have helped to improve my clients' quality of life and decrease their financial stress.
My clients can expect the highest quality legal representation, alongside thoughtful counseling and attention to detail. I dedicate my time to properly investigating every possible avenue of debt relief for my clients before filing bankruptcy. I seek to make each person that comes to me for help as comfortable as possible.
I am licensed to practice in all state courts of both Georgia and Illinois, as well as in the federal courts for the Northern and Middle Districts of Georgia, and in the Northern District of Illinois. I am married and enjoy spending time with my wife and son.

Mr. Cherney was very helpful in helping me make my decision for my chapter 13. He went above and beyond to assist me and explain everything to me. I am one year into my bankruptcy and it has been extremely uneventful. I am very appreciative for all of his help! I would highly recommend him.
