Michael Ernest Chionopoulos

My divorce case is legendary. He awarded my ex-wife about $17,000 a month knowing full well I didnt make half that. They threaten me with jail time on three separate occasions for being more than five days late on my many thousands of dollars of temporary support. worst and most unforgivable he singl...e-handedly destroyed my relationship with three beautiful little girls that were my daughters. 15 years later I have almost no contact although they seem to be doing OK. My case went to the Supreme Court and I won. But some costs are simply not recoverable. Every couple of years I look him up just to see if he's dead. I've never written anything about him before.

Too bad we can't give negative stars, or a brown, twisty emoji to represent this lawyer's poor representation. Chionopoulos focused on making money off a divorce rather than the safety and well being of children who are being abused by a parent. He completely disregarding constant pleas to involve... a guardian-ad-litem for the children and soaked up what meager funds we'd escaped with. He then dropped us on our heads, with no representation to guide us through a critical situation. Prior to his last court appearance on my behalf, I spent two hours in his office hearing him yell at people about his boat in the other office. He spent maybe 10-15 minutes in the room preparing for proceedings before it was time to leave for court, and that was spent eating lunch, and staying attuned to his texts, and running off again to take a call about his boat. During the proceedings, he was on his cell phone texting, regarding his boat. At one point, the Judge had to call out to him three times, and I had to elbow him in the arm to get him to respond. Our abuser found that entirely entertaining, which he continues to share with our children to this day. We are three years into this now, just beginning to have hope we can finally properly represent the truth. Chionopoulos just went off into the sunset on his big boat...

I retained Mr Chionopoulos (and also had the help of Devin who is another amazing attorney in his office) in September after a devastating loss in court with an unqualified lawyer I had hired. I was a stay at home Mom for 6 years and suddenly my children were snatched from my care and placed with the...ir Father during our divorce. If I would have hired Mr Chionopoulos and his firm BEFORE my court appearance I never would have lost! They immediately took action and made me feel SO MUCH BETTER during the most difficult time of my life. They were easy to reach, understanding, and had amazing ideas and strategies. They are extremely knowledgable regarding family law and I felt immediately completely safe and confident with them representing me. I now have my children back with me! We are still ironing out the details but with this firm behind me I know that myself and my children's best interests will be taken care of and protected without a doubt. These guys truly do care about their clients and go above and beyond to protect them. They keep me very well informed of the new happenings in my case and are always very professional. I
