Michael J. Chiero

Michael is absolutely fantastic, he has been my attorney for the past couple of months and was immediately able to get me more visitation with my only daughter. He is kind, courteous, professional and extremely knowledgeable regarding family court matters. I could not be more happy or satisfied... with the work and dedication that Michael has put in regarding my case. If you are looking for an ethical, intelligent, straightforward and compassionate attorney, Mr. Chiero is the way to go!

Thanks to Michael and the advice he gave me when mind you he isn't my lawyer. He helped me give advice to my current lawyer to help me keep my daughters. He did not charge me a dime, he spent 25 minutes on the phone with me. Asking questions and giving me free legal advice. If I didn't have the Lawye...r i have now I would go with him without a second thought!

Absolutely AWFUL "attorney". This guy acts cocky as if what he says is the word of Christ himself, but he does NOTHING. Him or his secretary won't return calls. Ask him a question via text, he'll charge you $50 a pop, but won't answer the question. Couldn't get a single reply from him or his secr...etary if my life depended on it. Lets the other side COMPLETELY walk all over you. In five years of fighting PRO SE, I've successfully substantiated regular visitation, built a healthy relationship with my son, and created a parenting agreement signed by both parties. In the two months I've had this attorney, he... Got my visitation suspended on his FIRST court date. Charged me several hundred dollars for text message questions sent to him from me with ZERO reply. Charged me $50 to send me a PDF of my own order that I had in my hand that he said he needed. Charged me $700 to have a conversation about our "strategy", saying he was going to file a motion to have my visitation reinstated and expanded. Charged me almost $2,000 to attend two court dates to stand at the petitioner's box and say NOTHING. He did not file a SINGLE motion. He did not ask the courts for ANYTHING.

I was referred to Michael Chiero by an attorney who I have always trusted and respected and I was not let down. I had been dealing with a teenager who had behavioral issues and wanted to live with his other parent for all of the wrong reasons. Michael saw through everything and brought up points... that I would have never realized on my own. He reassured me when I was scared and is amazing in front of the judge. He knows the law extremely well and can articulate his position perfectly in court. I strongly recommend him.

When geography made it impractical for me to stay with my original divorce attorney, my attorney recommended Michael to me as the best she knew. She was right. Michael was thorough and professional, patient, understanding and a good listener. Just as important, he then took my situation to heart and ...planned a strategy that protected my interests and those of my child while still being fair to my spouse, defended me against unseemly behavior by my spouse and spouse's attorney, then came through again two years after the divorce was final when further misbehavior by my ex required a return to court to defend my custody rights. For knowledge, ethics, bedside manner, fair and unpadded fees (although not low – you get what you pay for), and optimum results, I highly recommend him.
