Michael D. Cheronis

I am a reasonably educated man and a combat veteran. A loved one was charged with multiple felony counts for the possession of a firearm in Chicago. There are no words for the sense of helplessness dealing with this situation. During this time of extreme distress, I contacted Mr. Cheronis who immedia...tely returned my call and provided clear directions on how to arrange bail. He outlined the legal process and explained the court procedures that were to come. Michael’s record as a former prosecutor and seasoned defense attorney was outstanding, yet he was subjective in establishing a clear understanding of my case and my options to provide me the information I needed to make the decision to hire him as counsel. Once that decision was made, Michael provided a reasonable fee schedule and again detailed the process. Michael Cheronis provided consistent and reliable counsel and never deviated from pursuing a positive outcome from a horrible situation. The end result was that all the charges were dropped. There is no expressing the relief and gratitude we have for Michael. If you have a legal issue, you don’t need just any lawyer in your corner. You need Michael Cheronis.

Mike Cheronis effectively saved my life. I am a young, PhD-bound person who had never been in trouble with the law, and when I was falsely accused of a felony-level crime which could have meant jail time and basically ruining my life as I knew it, I could not afford to get anything but the best lega...l defense my family could afford. Mike was that defense. He is an experienced criminal attorney, and is also a kind, caring person; I always felt like he believed in me and my innocence. My court proceedings lasted for 1.5 years, and Mike was always there for me from day one. He is professional, responsive, and he actively engages with you so that you know exactly what's going on and exactly what you need to do to get that Not Guilty verdict at trial. That's what I got because of Mike's talent and effort. Because of Mike, my life and my future have been restored. If you are looking for a criminal defense attorney for yourself or one of your loved ones, and you want someone who you can trust and who will be satisfied with nothing but the best possible outcome for you and your family, then please seriously consider Mike Cheronis.

I have known Mike for several years and have worked with him on both criminal and civil cases. Mike is not only a wonderful litigator but is an even better person who treats both his clients and fellow attorneys with dignity, courtesy and respect. He gets outstanding results and is well versed in the... law. I highly recommend him.

Mr. Cheronis was an invaluable asset in my recent defense of a baseless order of protection. He is knowledgable and extremely easy to work with. I have never been in a courtroom where I needed to provide testimony., and with his expertise and assistance I was able to do so while feeling very prepared... and confident. Mr. Cheronis was clearly very at home in the court room and greatly outclassed the opposing council on every front, especially during his spectacular cross examination of the plaintiff. We obtained a satisfactory judgment in my case thanks to his efforts. I would recommend him without question or hesitation.

After talking to about 5 different lawyers I found Michael. He made me feel very secure with my life's fate in his hands . I felt he was very experienced and very real not gonna just sugar coat things to get your money !!! He was very professional in my criminal case and everything worked out just as... he said it would .
