Matthew J. Cherney

I received my Bachelor’s Degree from Carthage College in Kenosha, Wisconsin before going on to receive my Juris Doctorate from Western Michigan University (The Thomas M. Cooley Law School) in Lansing, Michigan.

After graduating law school, I was admitted to the State Bar of Illinois and began my legal career in my hometown of Chicago, Illinois, where I represented clients in all areas of debt relief for a large bankruptcy firm. In 2008, I moved to Georgia and was admitted to the State Bar of Georgia. Over the years, I've gained experience at both large-volume and mid-volume consumer bankruptcy firms before starting my own practice in 2012.

I now seek to provide personal attention and counseling for all of my clients. I will work personally with you from your initial consultation all the way through the completion of your case. I've represented thousands of clients since I began practicing law, and have helped to improve many individuals’ quality of life and to decrease their financial stress.

I am licensed to practice in all state courts of Georgia and Illinois, as well as in the federal courts for the Northern and Middle Districts of Georgia, and in the Northern District of Illinois. I am married and enjoy spending time with my wife and son.
