I am a retired military officer - almost 27 years total service (active and reserves) - and a disabled veteran. I am, however, fortunate to have run three marathons - and hope to run more - in my life: Oklahoma City; Honolulu; and Cayman Islands. I like to help my clients achieve a relaxed attitude. Most are upset about the circumstances in which they currently find themselves, or they would not be seeing me. I take them to golf - SWFL has some simply magnificant courses - and encourage them to do things they find relaxing so that our communication about the pending issues can be more precise. While Church - and being a Christian - is very, very important to me, I do not "force" my belief on others. However, those who know me know that my beliefs and values and see that as an asset.

I hired Absolute Law when Mike was still there. He took my case and kicked some @$$! I recently had a problem and went to Absolute law and learned Mike sold to another lawyer. A young guy who was good looking but arrogant and an @$$. He took my money, passed me off to his associate who was not prepar...

Prior to hiring Mike he was super “nice” I guess you could say. I didn’t like that he “kept calling me “bro,” but perhaps that’s what he does to try to lure people. But after he took my $5,000 his demeanor changed immediately. I had sent a lengthy email detailing everything and he didn’t like it. We ...

Worst Attorney ever I would not recommend him to anyone waste of time money and effort
"Mike is an outstanding attorney, a good human being, and an honest man. I have worked against him in a family law case, and he was the most honest and ethical attorney that I could hope for. Straight by the book, and Mike knows the whole book. Afterwards, I have called on Mike on many occasions for advice. I count on Mike like a Legal Bible. If Mike says it, it is true. If you need a lawyer, Mike Chionopoulos is the man to get."
"I endorse this lawyer. From my personal experience in opposing Mike, I can tell you that he is a highly skilled and experienced lawyer. I have also referred several clients to Mike over the years. The clients I have referred, report successful results and great experiences. Mike has a consistent and proven record. If you need a family law or criminal attorney, then Mike should be at the top of your list."
"Mike is an excellent attorney, and has built a support staff that is experienced, and wonderful to work with. I have sent Mike many referrals, from appeals, to general litigation. I highly recommend Absolute Law."
"Mike is a strong attorney with a solid office team alongside him. He has strength in more areas of the law than almost all of our colleagues. This former judge can handle an appeal as well as a family law or business matter, which is quite an accomplishment. He is forthright and can think creatively to resolve an issue. Mike has earned my respect."
"Mike is a skilled lawyer with a great team of lawyers under him. Has assisted me on several cases as an expert witness. Highly recommended."
"I endorse this lawyer. While my own practice kept me doing only trasactional matters, there were many times that I had the occasion to send litigation over to MIke. Both my clients and myself were continually well pleased with both his work ethic, attention to detail and the skilled way that he would "tear" into a otherwise complex matter, and impress both opposing counsel as as well as the Judge with his command of the subject matter and facts."
