Michael D. Cheronis

Faced with false allegations through a Title IX formal complaint at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, I was at a loss on what to do. Thankfully, I was able to get in contact with Michael and share the case and my story before he accepted becoming my advisor for the Title IX hearing. Michae...l was incredibly knowledgeable about the Title IX protocols and walked me through each step of the way, addressing all of my questions fully and ensuring that I have the confidence to fight these allegations. He was open in allowing me to email, text, or call him whenever I had questions or concerns. He was even willing to meet with me multiple times through Zoom to talk about the case and prepare me for the upcoming hearing sessions, being more than accommodating for my concerns. He was very professional and supportive in each meeting, decorum that was carried over to the hearing itself where he asked all of the necessary questions and intervened whenever appropriate and necessary to best support me. Ultimately, we won the case and beat the allegations! This very relieving outcome is something that I owe to Michael and his efforts, preparing me on the hearing process and what to expect, writing professional and effective opening and closing statements, and supporting me through a very stressful and uncertain period of time. I highly recommend Michael Cheronis to anybody who is found in a similar situation to myself. You can trust him to support you completely through the process and try his absolute best to fight for you.

Michael is not simply a great lawyer, he is also extremely well connected and well respected by other lawyers and judges alike, prosecutors included! Caught in a very difficult situation, he masterfully negotiated a settlement for us, and he also referred us to a DCFS lawyer who did as good a job as ...he did. Our family will be forever grateful for Michael’s amazing work. HIGHLY recommend!

Mr. Cheronis since the very first time I contacted him, nervous and confused about my case , he offered me guidance and clear information on what I would need to do and cost. He was transparent, professional and above all knowledgeable. I felt confident that I was in good hands since the very begin...ning. He took my case and went above and beyond to make justice. Even though my English is not the best, he allowed many ways of communication to make sure I understood the process. This was my first time experiencing a legal case against myself. I was terrified, heartbroken and very sad. Knowing he was representing me, gave me peace of mind. I will be forever grateful with Mr. Cheronis!

When I received official correspondence from the OCC I was worried. When I read what it said I knew I needed a lawyer asap. I contacted a different attorney that put me in touch with Mr. Cheronis. Best thing that could have happened for me. He contacted them and discovered what the issue was and was ...always prompt in getting back to me and keeping me informed. Once I retained him for a more than fair price he told me the game plan and we got to work. I did exactly what he asked of me which allowed him to do what he does best. The matter was settled completely. COMPLETELY DISMISSED. I was at risk of losing everything that I hold dear, my means of taking care of my family, my self respect, and my standing in my community. I felt that it would be very difficult to recover from that. I'm so blessed to have had Mr. Cheronis for my attorney and if you hire him I'm confident that you'll feel the same way to.
