Michael L Cheroutes Jr

We recently hired Mike and his firm for a family member involving a complex matter. Mike and his team (including his awesome paralegal Laura) went above and beyond to handle the matter and prevail. Although the matter was extremely complex Mike knew exactly how to research and handle, in the end prev...ailing for our family member. He and his office is very professional, timely and communicative. We've worked with attorneys for decades in our profession and this being a personal matter can honestly say we have never been more impressed. We would choose his expertise again in a heartbeat and highly recommend him.

I had Mr Cheroutes at the Harris Law Firm.. I requested his involvement in mediation procedures in the hope of having experienced council to give advice during the negotiations. Mr. Cheroutes advised me essentially that men usually don't get fair treatment in Jefferson County Courts" and that "I coul...d get a judge that doesn't like men as parents". His main concern was was advising me to settle with a substandard agreement and getting out of the proceedings, not representing me and assisting in the negotiations. At a later date, I retained another, more experienced attorney who flatly disagreed with Mr. Cheroute's advice. After interviewing several other attorneys after this, I find Mr. Cheroutes to not be high caliber. I wish I knew then what I know now.

I have had a wonderful experience with Mike as my Attorney for over 5 years. He is very understanding and honest. He really tries to find ways to solve your case without costing you tons of money. He has alternative strategies that work without giving away your case. He has a lot of experience in the... courtroom. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Mike was professional, incredibly sharp and committed to my case. He offers that rare balance of courtroom and real-life knowledge and experience, particularly in the often extraordinarily sensitive area of law in which he practices. Truly caring about both client and practice, Mike aggressively ye...t fairly pursues his clients' cases while offering a clear picture of what to expect in the litigation process. Throughout my case, I never felt overpowered by his legal expertise, and always felt my needs and desires were being respected and understood. In fact, I had the privilege to witness Mike arguing my case on appeal to a three-judge panel; he truly outshone far more renowned and experienced attorneys as he presented our arguments concisely and fielded the court's questions adeptly.

Mike is AMAZING!!! You have to recognize that he is a very busy Attorney and you have to like an Attorney who is trusted with so many cases. He is passionate and personable to your case. He looks for alternative matters to attempt to settle you case. He has put Judges and GALs in their place and not ...put up with their crap. He requires that you are very knowledgeable of your own case and will lean on you for the small stuff to avoid costly Attorney fees. He is fair and does not run you bill through the waters. You probably should know you case inside and out. Mike has handled some of the most changing case in Colorado and he knows what he is doing.
