Stay away expensive, but does not accomplish anything

this dude charged tens of thousands of dollars and didn’t do anything after I fired him. We hired a attorney for less than $5000 and got everything achieved. This dude is a waste of money.

No Ethics, Morals, or Values

Ed represented a 4th time Offense Drunk Driver who hurt many people and caused multiple surgeries. We sat behind him and his client in the hallway at sentencing, and literally heard Ed direct his client to lie in court. Ed has no MORALS, ETHICS, or Values, he should not be allowed to practice law.

Skilled attorney with experience to back it up!

I felt really prepared when I went to court with Mr. Cherniak. He spent time taking me through the process and explaining to me what would happen once we were there. I was very nervous, but Mr. Cherniak totally put me at ease. I was extremely please with the outcome of my case and I owe that all t...o Mr. Cherniak's experience and talent. I would (and have) recommend him to my friends and family!

Great Lawyer - Friendly and Professional

Mr. Cherniak helped me get my drivers license restored even though I had several infractions on my record. The other lawyers I worked with couldn't do it. Mr. Cherniak got it done for a fair price. I would definitely hire Mr. Cherniak again.
