Damon Matthew Cheronis

We hired Damon for an appeal for a Federal case. I chose him out of a list of 6 attorneys because I thought he would be the most likely to have open communication. He seemed very down to earth when he was calling me on Sunday evening after hours trying to get me to hire him. After we signed the contr...act and paid him, everything changed. I felt very uncomfortable with the route he took with the appeal, but I was told not to base my thoughts on emotions. Long story short, we lost for all the reasons I was concerned. After we lost, it took Damon a full month to have time to talk to us. We lost the appeal and were out $26K and he didn't have time for a call or an email for a month. Damon told us he still "wanted to help us out" and that he was looking at "other avenues" for appeal. We waited for a few months while he supposedly looked into other options. Apparently, he had ghosted us completely, because he stopped responding to all communication efforts after that 1 zoom call about the lost appeal. We had been waiting FOR NOTHING. In fairness, I told him we didn't have the kind of money we started with and he told me a follow-up appeal wouldn't cost as much since he had all the case info, already. I deeply regret choosing this lawyer.

I hired this lawyer 2 years ago, don't get me wrong, he's very nice, and he knows what he's doing, but it feels like he does not focus on the case and does not give his 100% on the case. He's always busy with something, not worth the money you'll pay him. To make it short, I didn't win the case and m...ade things worse for me, affected my job and everything in my life.
