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.

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.
