I’m a 38 year old with a criminal background, changed my life and still found myself looking at an enhanced class X felony. Cheryl really turned that around for me and my family. My praises go to God, My thanks go to Attorney Whitley. She keeps her word, and fights for her clients. Keeps your best interest at heart and tells it straight NO GAMES!!!!! In short, facing a total of 160 years with the minimum at 30 years, She turned that into no prison time, 4 years probation..... She’s Amazing, fair pricing, and she’s well respected in court!!!!! Whole-Heartedly Recommended!!!!!!!!
Two years ago my husband was facing two very serious charges. After sending Mrs Whitley the retainer and letting her work her magic, he only ended up having to do two years probation. Cheryl was amazing. Very quick results, affordable, very great with communicating and understanding. Highly recommended.
Oh my God, where do I start? I was involved in a hit and run. I reached out to a few lawyers. Mrs. Whitley went over and beyond she stop what she was doing that day met me down at the Belleville police department so I can turn myself in. She was able to keep me out of jail, and this far has handled everything without me having to be at court. She’s very lenient, affordable and was able to work with me with my payments. She is not all about the money. If you are looking for a criminal lawyers. Look no farther. I highly recommend her she’s very understandable, communicate very well and response fast. She went over and beyond. She did not just tell me what she can do she actually showed me. I thank you so much.
Cheryl R. Whitley is a great lawyer and I have nothing but great things to say about a woman that cares and fought hard to keep me.. Looking at all types of charges I walk away a free man. If you want someone to fight for you and your freedom she is a straight shooter.. Always answer or return calls.. Make time for her clients and client families. I thank you Cheryl R Whitley for her service and my freedom....
Cheryl is amazing! Spoke with her yesterday morning, sent the retainer via a payment link, and within 30 mins of receiving payment she texted stating that my daughter was going to be released from jail due to a traffic warrant. Had I not retained her service, my daughter would have been sitting in jail waiting to be transported to a different county facility to bond out, since Saint Clair County no longer allow you to do so. Extremely professional and I highly recommend her. Thanks Cheryl for not only explaining the process and making me feel at ease, but for your due diligence and expediency in resolving the issue.
