Michael D. Cheronis

My son found himself in Chicago facing some very serious gun charges. I immediately called and hired Michael on the spot after one conversation to represent my son in this high profile case. Michael is a no nonsense, tough attorney. He is extremely well versed in Illinois law and has a vast knowled...ge of the inner workings of the Cook County court system. He is exactly the kind of attorney anyone would want representing them. He found that my son had been unlawfully searched, arrested and charged. He was presumed guilty, not innocent. Michael was able to get all of the charges against my son dismissed. I would recommend Michael to anyone in need of a strong defense attorney.

I worked with Michael Cheronis through an extremely complex and stressful school disciplinary process, and he was outstanding every step of the way. He combined strategic precision, calm confidence, and genuine care, making me feel protected and well guided throughout. Michael is sharp, honest, an...d deeply experienced. I couldn’t recommend him more highly to anyone facing a serious or sensitive case.

I am writing to highly recommend Mr. Michael Cheronis as an exceptional attorney. His extensive knowledge, expertise, unwavering court demeanor, and persistent attitude make him stand out in his field. Mr. Cheronis represented us in three felony cases, including Aggravated Arson. Before retaining Mr.... Cheronis, we had a court-appointed Public Defender, which resulted in prolonged delays/continuances, and the prospect of severe jail time. From the moment Mr. Cheronis filed his appearance, his impact was immediately apparent. He swiftly assessed the charges and thoroughly explained all possible outcomes, demonstrating a clear mastery of his profession. His experience as a former Assistant State’s Attorney proved invaluable during negotiations with the prosecution and in presenting the case before the judge. Mr. Cheronis exhibited a high level of professionalism in court and remarkable patience in working with me and my son, who faces mental health challenges and can be difficult to counsel. His patience was instrumental in achieving a much-improved plea agreement and favorable sentencing, as well as securing my son’s cooperation throughout our process. For these reasons, I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Michael Cheronis as your attorney of choice. Thank you, Mr.Cheronis.

I hired Mr. Cheronis to represent me on sexual assault charges. I was facing a minimum of 18 years if convicted. I was innocent and told Mr. Cheronis that I would not take an offer because I was innocent. For almost five years, Mr. Cheronis fought for me. When we went to trial, I was completely c...onfident in his abilities. He did not let me down. Mike’s got that dog in him. His cross-examination of the person accusing me was amazing. Not guilty was the outcome. I cried, my Mom cried and Mike just smiled and told me to get on with my life. I will because of him. If you’re in trouble and you need a great lawyer in your corner, call Mike.

Mr. Michael Cheronis exemplifies ‘professionalism’ and ‘empathy’ in every aspect of his work. His unwavering respect for the judicial system is evident in the way he seeks justice by highlighting deeply rooted facts and presenting them with integrity within the legal framework. His ability to uncover... and articulate the ground realities of a case reflects a deep commitment to truth and fairness. Such advocacy is only possible when an attorney is genuinely invested in understanding the full context and all relevant details. Mr. Michael Cheronis’s approach truly upholds the spirit of justice and reinforces confidence in the legal process. - “Thanks Mike” -
