Everyone at Cheeley Law Group was professional, timely, and most importantly supportive. Gabby, McKenzie, and Robyn worked as a brilliant team to ensure I got the best settlement possible after my car accident. I can’t thank Cheeley Law Group enough!

The Cheeley Law Group made a difficult process much easier. They communicated with me every step of the way and really took the time to help me understand my options. Highly recommend their firm.

After the major loss of my father the Cheeley Law office was not only there for me and my family with the Legal side of his death but also the emotional. I don't want to even think how different things would have been if they would have not represented my Family.

I have known Bob Cheeley for years. His reputation within the bar is outstanding. I have also had the opportunity to work closely with him in the actual trial of a case and have found him to be excellent in his legal knowledge, in his professional demeanor, in his concern for his client and his interest in the legal system.

Bob Cheeley is a first-rate lawyer. Absolutely one of the best.

I have practiced law for nearly 48 years and had dealings with hundreds of lawyers. Bob Cheeley is one of a handful that I would rate at the top of our profession. My experience with Mr. Cheeley cover a number of years. We have opposed one another and worked as co-counsel. In all our encounters, I have found him to a superb lawyer. He is smart, knowledgeable, with extremely keen judgment, and extremely courteous with others. His legal experience is top flight.

Cheeley Law Group is amazing!! They were SO helpful! They helped me work through the emotional stress, as well as all the legalities. They were so attentive and I felt they really listened to me. Without their help I wouldn’t have been able to get through my situation. My situation involved my insurance company, who was handling my case POORLY and treating me even worse. I’m SO very thankful to them! I would recommend them for anything you need!

The Cheeley Group worked hard and applied their expertise in my personal injury case. Their entire team of caring attorneys helped me from the beginning of my case to the very end. They consistently reached out to me letting me know what was taking place in my case and kept me informed step by step. The Cheeley Group went above and beyond in my case, and I would recommend them to anyone that needs a personal injury attorney. Big Thanks to the Cheeley Group and Robyn Carmichael!!!

During one of the hardest times in our lives, we were referred to Bob Cheeley’s firm by a trusted friend. The minute Bob and his team took over our case we were instantly at ease, knowing that we had an extremely knowledgeable and caring group working for our best interest. They took the day-to-day headaches away and allowed us to focus on the important job of healing. We would highly recommend Bob and his talented team.

After working with the CLG team for multiple years throughout law school, I can say with confidence that they not only are incredibly well-versed in the law, but also truly care about each one of their clients. It was a privilege to learn from such a fantastic team and watch them fight zealously for justice.

Very capable lawyer, courteous and professional person.
