As posted on Google and Yelp. Exceeding 5 stars Mr. Ed Chernoff is a dedicated lawyer who accomplishes your needs to return your livelihood and takes care of you every step of the process. From the first call made, had us feel a breath of relief that he could handle our case. To the first meet where we received professionalism and respect towards every word, highly identifying that he is an excellent lawyer that can create the solution to any criminal problem. With his help our case was dismissed. We could not have asked for a better experience. Our calls with questions always answered and responded and his exceptional assistant Gina that kept us in the loop. If you are looking for a lawyer that will defend you and make a positive impact towards your case, you are on the right page. A highly experienced lawyer that will aggressively attack and resolve your criminal case with baffling ease and haste. Thank you, Mr. Ed Chernoff for all your Help!

Not sure where to start on this one but long story short I highly suggest hiring Ed Chernoff for your case. 100 percent. In April of 2018 I was charged with a very serious crime and my freedom was hanging on a thread In hind sight I was innocent but it was a very complicated case. There was no easy way to go about it and in the end my case was dismissed This is not the only reason I recommend Ed Chernoff law I recommend Ed for his customer service since the morning after my arrest till the last minute (nearly two years) every single call was returned by Gina and I was able to meet Ed and speak with him over the phone through email and in person many times. I was always treated like client and not a criminal defendant. He handled the case with extreme caution and delicacy because it was a sensitive case with the key witness being a child. Ed knew this from the start and always had my family’s well being in mind. He is a force to be reckoned with in the court room. A no nonsense lawyer with over 30 years experience. He doesn’t fight to get the best deal He fights to win. You need someone who understands the court system on both sides. Someone who will not judge you Someone who has patience. He is strategic tactful and highly respected. Many times lawyers come off as gimmicky or cliche. You will not feel that with Ed. Ed Chernoff reminded me of a Marine Force Recon infantry full bird Colonel. At the same time he is very kind and has empathy for his client. And in the end my case was dismissed. If you have a criminal case hire Ed He does payments and will be the best money you spent for defense. If you have any questions PM me.

I consulted with Mr. Chernoff and feel lucky to have found him. He was generous with his time, succinct in his knowledge of the law, and confident in his position. I will absolutely hire Mr. Chernoff and will recommend him to anyone in need with every confidence that they will receive the best representation available.

I hired Mr. Chernoff to represent me on a shoplifting charge. (misdemeanor theft, class b) I had never been in trouble before and I didn't understand the process. Mr. Chernoff was patient with me and explained everything in detail. He rarely told me what I wanted to hear, but he always told me what I needed to hear. His knowledge and experience are evident. That is what helped to guide and calm me through this lengthy, stressful process. He always got back with me promptly when I called or emailed him with questions. About 8 months after the incident, my case was dismissed. I feel blessed and lucky to have found Mr. Chernoff and would recommend him to anyone in need of a an attorney. Good luck to all you :-)
