Michael D. Cheronis

I hired Mr. Cheronis to defend my son, a student at a prominent University in Chicago, against false accusations made by another student With my son's future on the line, fortunately we found Mr. Cheronis. He was instrumental in guiding us through a difficult process and in formulating a serious an...d thorough defense. If you are facing Title IX allegations, he is an excellent attorney. I highly recommend Michael if your child's future is threatened by Title IX allegations.

Being in a criminal investigation can be frightening. I was getting called by a police detective constantly and was being accused of a crime that I never committed... I was scared and didn't know what to do. The allegations that were put upon me could have led to several years in prison! So, I starte...d to look for legal help and did not talk to the detective who said, "I just want to talk". ( DO NOT talk to the detective, your life depends on that. It did for me). After looking for options, my aunt told me to hire the best attorney that you can since quality is key to winning. Thankfully, I found Micheal Cheronis through Avvo, and he is the best lawyer I know! He is honest, knowledgeable, and will be aggressive in your defense. Due to hiring him, he started putting me in the best position to win and he was able to have my case dismissed with two court appearances!! I know sometimes we are tempted to look for free help or look for low cost but understand that free help can come with even a bigger price tag of consequence. As a result of hiring Cheronis, I can now continue my education in peace instead of having to spend time behind bars... I would strongly recommend Michael D. Cheronis for whoever wants the best possible outcome. Thank you Michael for saving my life!!

Without hesitation I highly recommend the legal services of Attorney Michael Cheronis. Our family was frightened and without knowledge of how to navigate a State of Illinois felony criminal matter before retaining Mr. Cheronis. Observing the first Hearing in this case, approximately 12 hours after ...the arrest of a young family member in Chicago, I knew we needed expert criminal representation. Michael Cheronis personally returned my first call within an hour and gave us a straightforward analysis of the situation. Even while on his family vacation attorney Cheronis quickly returned every email and phone call and has fully answered all our questions throughout the case. Court proceedings were handled effectively and Attorney Cheronis achieved a total Dismissal of the serious felony charges our family member faced. We are deeply grateful to Michael Cheronis for the gracious manner in which he handled our concerns and for the excellent legal services he rendered.

I was falsely accused of violating my college’s Title IX policy, and I needed an advisor to help me navigate the investigation and conduct hearing. My parents and I did some research together online, and I’m so glad that we found Michael Cheronis. Michael is an ideal advisor to have in your corner. H...e is knowledgeable, sharp, perceptive, and organized. In the most difficult and trying period of my life, Michael’s guidance helped me feel primed to defend myself and confident in my truth. During my investigation interview, he was able to catch biased and accusatory questions that I would have missed. At the end of our meetings, I felt supported and prepared. Michael taught me that standing up for myself is an essential life skill, and gave me the tools to protect myself in the future. I am so grateful to have worked with him, and I would recommend his services to anyone.

I found myself in a horrible situation where I was being falsely accused of Sexual Misconduct at my University. The school provided no help and treated me with a guilty until proven innocent attitude. The University provided me with no information on the case and the investigation was mishandled and ...incredibly biased. Seeing that I was not being criminally charged I wasn't sure what to do or who to turn to. I did some research and found Michael Cheronis. He absolutely saved me from future threatening circumstances. He was incredibly informative and compassionate and helped me every step of the way. I feel that I've not only survived a dire situation but have learned valuable life information as well. In regard to Title IX, Michael helped guide me into a better understanding of the process and helped show me the best way to handle and manage it. If it weren't for him, I believe the outcome would have been far more grim. His expertise led to the University being more careful and diligent in the conduction of their Title IX process and helped shed light on the situation and clear my name. I highly recommend Michael's services and am incredibly grateful for his help.
