Hiring an attorney from a state with which you aren't familiar can be daunting. But I trusted Avvo to help me find the attorney we needed. We were fortunate to find Mike, even more fortunate that he was willing to take our case. Make no mistake, he will not waste your time or money on frivolous conve...rsation or actions. He got right to the point, and did everything in his power to bring a satisfactory resolution to our case. Even though I was out of state, he was timely with his communications and requests for documentation/follow-up info. If you are looking for someone with knowledge of the law and criminal defense, Mike's your man. His services are worth every dollar we paid.

As a person who has had a number of run ins with the law and hired many talented attorneys for various reasons, my experience being represented by Michael Cheronis was by far the most impressive. When I reached out to him, I was facing a laundry list of crimes - half of which were violent felonies a...nd all of which were clearly recorded on camera. Based on the circumstances of these crimes, it was possible that I could’ve faced up to a decade in prison. As soon as I reached out to him, I found him to be understanding, compassionate, and knowledgeable. For a year, he expertly guided me through Chicago’s complex and intimidating legal system which ultimately resulted in all of my charges being reduced to misdemeanors. Through his hard work, he accomplished something I didn’t believe to be remotely possible and exceeeded my expectations for the outcome of my case in every single way. Hiring Michael Cheronis as an attorney has completely changed the trajectory of my life for the better and I highly recommend his services to anyone in need of top-notch legal representation.

Michael was extremely communicative and guided me through the entire process. He always had an answer to any of my questions and was able to prepare an effective strategy. He made sure to keep me prepared throughout the entire situation. I would highly recommend him to anyone thinking of hiring him. ...
