Thanks to Michael and the advice he gave me when mind you he isn't my lawyer. He helped me give advice to my current lawyer to help me keep my daughters. He did not charge me a dime, he spent 25 minutes on the phone with me. Asking questions and giving me free legal advice. If I didn't have the Lawyer i have now I would go with him without a second thought!

Michael is absolutely fantastic, he has been my attorney for the past couple of months and was immediately able to get me more visitation with my only daughter. He is kind, courteous, professional and extremely knowledgeable regarding family court matters. I could not be more happy or satisfied with the work and dedication that Michael has put in regarding my case. If you are looking for an ethical, intelligent, straightforward and compassionate attorney, Mr. Chiero is the way to go!

I was referred to Michael Chiero by an attorney who I have always trusted and respected and I was not let down. I had been dealing with a teenager who had behavioral issues and wanted to live with his other parent for all of the wrong reasons. Michael saw through everything and brought up points that I would have never realized on my own. He reassured me when I was scared and is amazing in front of the judge. He knows the law extremely well and can articulate his position perfectly in court. I strongly recommend him.

I have worked with Michael Chiero on two cases and he is an exceptional attorney. Although my cases were not cut and dry, Michael fought extremely hard for me. We were successful in both cases due to his diligence, steadfastness, in-depth knowledge of the law, and attention to detail. I could not ask for a better attorney who truly fought hard for me legally and always had my back. Michael is also a man of his word and cares about his clients a great deal. He always made sure I understood everything that was happening 100%, answered all of my questions and made my options clear to me. I will forever be grateful for her service and highly recommend him to anyone seeking an attorney.

When geography made it impractical for me to stay with my original divorce attorney, my attorney recommended Michael to me as the best she knew. She was right. Michael was thorough and professional, patient, understanding and a good listener. Just as important, he then took my situation to heart and planned a strategy that protected my interests and those of my child while still being fair to my spouse, defended me against unseemly behavior by my spouse and spouse's attorney, then came through again two years after the divorce was final when further misbehavior by my ex required a return to court to defend my custody rights. For knowledge, ethics, bedside manner, fair and unpadded fees (although not low – you get what you pay for), and optimum results, I highly recommend him.

Michael is by far one of the most experienced and remarkable divorce attorneys I have ever encountered. He has served as an excellent mentor to me regarding family law practice. I had the privilege of clerking for him back in law school and witnessed his exceptional litigation skills in the courtroom. He truly cares about his clients. I can attest to this because I, too, have been a client of his going through my own divorce. Michael put me at ease throughout this difficult process. Few attorneys have the acquired skill to meet both the client's expectations and also reach a fair and effective resolution. I would highly recommend Michael to anyone looking for an exceptional divorce attorney.

I had been through a few lawyers before I came to Mr. Chiero, and had always had issues with lawyers over-charging me or not taking my issues seriously. Mr. Chiero seemed to quickly understand my issues with support and maintenance, and assured me that he could easily handle the case. He just kind of has a way with words, to where I was very quickly aware of details of my situation that other lawyers had left out or decided that I didn't need to know. When he was in court, he always paid attention to the littlest detail and was completely fearless in his defense of my case. I would refer any of my friends or family to him. I have had small issues over the years after my case was finished and he is always easy to contact, helpful, intelligent and fast to get what I need done. He was also very fair with me, and I feel that I actually took his counsel to be well worth the money. Especially since I never felt like I was being over-charged for anything. I highly recommend this man to anyone!

Mr. Chiero was my lawyer several years ago in a child custody issue I had. I was repeatedly fighting with my ex; we could never agree on anything and my poor son was caught in the middle. He would come home with mystery bruises and little explanations for the injuries when he returned from his fathers' home. My lawyers at the time seemed to care little and would never return my calls. Mr. Chiero handled the case in a very professional manner once I hired him. He would take my calls, and had a very soothing demeanor. He was unintimidated by my ex's lawyers, and fought to get me an Order of Protection that saved my son a lot of pain. I now am able to support my son with the custody deal he worked out, and I know that my son is safe in my custody. The ease with which Mr. Chiero was able to reference the law and his skill in the courtroom made me comfortable at all times. I highly recommend him!

Mr. Chiero clearly explained to me all of my options, rights and responsibilities related to having a child out of wedlock. His advice allowed me to avoid the court system, save money, and lessen the emotional costs of litigation. I would highly recommend Mr. Chiero to fathers or anyone needing family law advice.
