    AV · criminal defense ·

    I was indicted in 2020 of being a leader with a conspiracy and a money laundering charge with 9 other defendants. Being a first time offender not knowing anything about hiring the correct attorney, I came across a money hungry attorney that was just looking to take as much money as he could from me, that at my bond hearing he compared my case with dogs playing poker. I was denied bond and was told by the judge I wasn’t getting out until the end of my incarceration. With that being said I had to change attorneys. After my family interviewed a couple attorneys Damon stood out the most. After hiring him his main concern was to get me out on bond, and after a couple of months he successfully got me out on bond and got to work right away. He told me I was looking at 30 years and with his hard work and dedication he fought hard till the end and was able to get me a better outcome than I expected. Due to all the evidence the government had on me and other defendants cooperating against me, he was able to obtain a 10 year sentence which was my mandatory minimum and there was no way around it . Damon Cheronis was straight forward never sugar coating anything as honest as they come and I must say he’s a well respected attorney in the federal courts. WORTH EVERY DOLLAR!

    From day one mr Cheronis said that he wanted to get me FREE. NOT a new trial. NOT a plea offer. And unlike the average attorney mr. Cheronis did exactly what he said his intentions were. Of course, as expected in attorney client relationships him and I bumped heads on certain defenses but in the end his strategic choices reunited me with my freedom.

    I reached out to Attorney Damon Cheronis in June of 2021 when my son's initial attorney was adamant that he would be convicted of a Class X Felony and was looking at 6-30 years. A severe crime for someone who was at the wrong place at the wrong time. After reviewing some of the feedback from Damon's previous clients, his years of experience, and his background and knowledge, he was someone I needed to contact. Damon was the only attorney who took the time to talk to my son and hear his side from beginning to end. Damon was happy to take on our case and allowed us to make monthly payments. Damon is competent, confident, aggressive, knows the law, and does not shy away from taking cases to trial if needed. As a result, Damon was able to get my son probation, and his charges lessened. There are no words to express my gratitude. He's not going to BS you, use fear tactics, and will always keep things real with his clients. If I ever need an attorney- I know exactly who to call because there are just some things in life you don't want to leave to chance. Damon is someone you want on your side! Thank you, Damon.

    I worked with Damon years ago when he was still a green horn working under Ralph Meczyk. I was falsely accused of a sex crime...he worked with my family and got me bailed out maybe 3 hours after my surprise arrest. I have to say that was the scariest thing I've ever gone through and Damon always mad e me feel assured that it would work out in my favor, which it did. He's whip-smart and has an obvious affinity for the law. He's also a very likeable guy, doesn't come off arrogant etc.

    I hired Mr Cheronis for a serious and complicated international tax evasion case and I cannot imagine that any other attorney would have been able to solve my case better than the way he did. He have done the impossible and worked with me very closely and used intelligent legal strategies to settle t he case. I'm extremely happy for hiring him as a attorney and I couldn't be happier with the final outcome of the case. During the months that i worked with him I've honestly felt really lucky for having him as my attorney and i would recommend him to anybody who is looking to hire one of the best (if not the best IMO) Criminal Defense Attorney in the US.
