Easy Process

I was extremely nervous about filing but after meeting with Mr. Cherney I felt at ease. He explained every thing and made the process so easy. He is direct and tells you exactly what is going to happen at each step. I had a great experience and would definitely recommend Mr. Cherney for any of your b...ankruptcy needs.

GREAT PROFESSIONAL. VERY CLEVER, PRICES ARE VERY REASONABLE. I DO RECOMEND HIS SERVICES.

Matthew Cherney is one of the most caring and clever lawyers we've ever dealt with. He carefully looked at all of our papers, statements, bills. He spent one and a half hour with us. He answered all our questions. And after all, helped us decide which route to go. It is the best money you will ever i...nvest. And no pressure whatsoever... And here come the best: after 3 weeks, even knowing we wouldn't need his services anymore because our situation got better, he still helped us to clarify all answers. God Bless you Mathew, you are a truly human being and an excellent professional. We wish you and your family all the joy and happiness because you deserve it. I do recommend him, I do endorse him. And I make myself available for any reference that might be needed toward his services. Thank you.

Review for Matthew John Cherney

After visiting multiple attorney's Mr. Cherney was the only one who took the time to completely explain all of my options. He did not push me into making any decisions. He was very clear in what to expect and in what he would do for me. When it came time for my case to be heard, Mr. Cherney was pr...epared leaving no room for dispute. I truly appreciated the time and effort Mr. Cherney put into my case.

A Recent Client of Matthew Cherney

Filing bankruptcy was a difficult choice after a lifetime of remaining solvent and saving my credit rating. But circumstances created a situation where I had no choice. I spoke to several potential lawyers about my situation, but it wasn't until I spoke with Matt that I felt here was a lawyer who w...as honest, forthright, and interested in my particular situation. I wasn't going to be a file in a stack of files, but he would treat me as an individual and respect my situation. He was attentive, responsive to every question, and would provide follow-up whenever it was needed. He was very knowledgeable and easy to work with, and executed every detail on a timely basis and with a thorough approach.

Bankruptcy with ease

I had a pleasant experience with Mr. Cherney. Initially, I was afraid of filing bankruptcy because I did not know what to expect. I have heard horror stories and fallacy’s about the bankruptcy process. Mr. Cherney was readily available whenever I needed him, whether by email or phone. I filled bankru...ptcy because of my long-term unemployment and could not afford to pay my creditors; therefore, I had little to no money to even file. Mr. Cherney assessed my situation and offered some payment options that worked best for me. The process was stress-free. I provided Mr. Cherney with all of the required information and although the questions do seem to be very personal, Mr. Cherney eagerly explains the reason that each piece of information is required. I would recommend Mr. Cherney to my family and friends. Despite the good service, hopefully, I will never need him again. :)

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.
