Michael D. Cheronis

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 hired Michael to support my son in a Title IX complaint. He was very thorough and was able to show many holes in the investigation and point out flaws in the findings. I would recommend Michael to anyone who needs a specialized attorney in Title IX. He has a wealth of knowledge of the process and ...the rules/regulations of this particular Law.

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.

I hired Mike to represent me for a Title IX case at the University of Illinois and I could have not asked for someone better to represent me. The case went to a full hearing that lasted multiple days. Mike's communication was phenomenal throughout the entire process and whenever I contacted him with ...anything he would respond quickly with a concise and efficient response. He helped me understand the process and guided me each step of the way, he was extremely knowledgeable on the procedures of Title IX. His ability to cross examine the complainant and witnesses were crucial to this case as he was able to bring to light the facts and ultimately lead the University to conclude that I was not in violation of the Title IX Student Code. I am so grateful to have worked with Mike and I would recommend his services to anyone in need of a Title IX case attorney.

Retained Mike to represent me (a teacher) in a Title IX complaint against me in a high school district. Although it didn't happen instantly, the district eventually completely dropped the complaint and investigation with no further action. This was in large part due to Mike's clear and concise advi...ce and assistance at every step. From drafting the best e-mails and statement, to preparing me to be interviewed and advising me during the interview. Mike is responsive and always on top of things. He's kind, personable, and wants the best for you. He's also willing to ensure you understand and agree with the steps he recommends. He listens and is always ready to clarify or answer questions. I hope I never need to but if I do I'd hire Mike again.
