ATTORNEY MATTHEW CHERNEY

MATTHEW HELPED MY WIFE AND MYSELF SET UP A CHAPTER 13 TO GET SOME $60,000.00 DEBT CONSOLIDATED AND TO BE PAID OFF. MATT DID EVERYTHING THAT HE WAS SUPPOSED TO DO AND WAS EXTREMELY RESPONSIVE IF WE NEEDED HIS AID. I WOULD GIVE MATT A 10 SCORE ON HIS CHARACTER AND HIS KNOWLEDGE OF OUR NEEDS. SOMETIMES ...WE DID NOT LIKE SOME OF HIS ANSWERS, BUT HE KNOWS HIS LAW AND WE ARE SLOWLY BEATING THIS CHALLENGE. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM AS A LAWYER AND A PERSON OF EXTREMELY HIGH CHARACTER. HE WAS OUR FIRST CHOICE AND WE WOULD USE HIS SERVICES AGAIN, IF WE WERE TO NEED HIM. THANK YOU

Excellent Service

Matt has been a stellar advocate for my wife and I through the bankruptcy we are experiencing. He gives personal attention, he explains things well, and he has never made us feel like we were a bother to him. I cannot recommend him more highly.

Very helpful and professional

We were able to make a weekend appointment to work with my husband's work schedule. He keep us well informed every step of the way and made the process smooth.

Disapointed

Yes, Mr. Cherney is responsive, but we did have an issue when it came to turn around on an amendment that would have been beneficial to us. Mr. Cherney is quite knowledgeable of the law. We were disappointed in what we were told the would happen if we followed a suggestion but that did not happen. ...We were also disappointed in what we were told would happen the day before our court date and definitely disappointed in how he handled himself minutes before court was to begin.

Thank you for the response, as I encourage all comments. I understand that all my clients' expectations are different. My obligation is to provide my clients with their options. It will ultimately be up to the client to choose the option that best suits them, and given the strong bond I have with all of my clients, I trust that their expectations are reasonable. Matthew J.

A Great Attorney when you REALLY need one!

Matt is wonderful to work with. He helped me get out of a huge financial jam and never with a judgement or a stern word. He is very responsive and a pleasure to work with. I am proud to call him My Attorney.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
