  • "At one point, I felt sorry for [the plaintiff's] lawyer"

    “My soon to be ex-wife filed a TRO against me. All her claims were made up, however, the problem was that I had never been in court in my life and didn't know what to do. I was extremely overwhelmed by school work because the court data was on the same week of my finals. She had her divorce lawyer, who tried to make me look like a liar and an abusive husband. I am on F-1 visa which just added more salt to the injury. Mr.Cherella helped me through the case. He knew what he was doing. By the end of the day, my wife's lawyer was shaking and nervous during her last statement. At one point, I felt sorry for my wife's lawyer. If you can afford him, don't hesitate to hire him.”

  • You Can Tell That the Judges... and the Other Lawyers Respect Him

    “Chris is an excellent lawyer and I would recommend him to anyone. Chris dealt with a criminal charge and an unemployment issue along with my divorce. He is respectful, and he makes you feel taken care of. In the court room, he takes charge and you always feel as though you are in good hands. He is very knowledgeable, trustworthy, and he tells you how it is and doesn't sugar coat things. He is very up front with you as a client, and you can tell that the judges, personnel in the court, and the other lawyers respect him. I have the highest regard for Attorney Cherella and would recommend him highly for legal representation.”

  • Chris Is a Hard Worker and Won't Take You for Granted

    “I would highly recommend Christopher Cherella! We needed a "go getter" for a case. Chris immediately jumped in with both feet and got busy. He was able to give us peace of mind while prepping for a battle in court. Because of his preparations, we never saw a courtroom. He made sure every aspect of the case was covered and kept us informed of everything he was learning. Chris is a hard worker and wont' take you for granted. Definitely worth retaining him!!”
