About
With over 30 years of experience working with both large and small companies, Mike Chochon brings his financial expertise directly to Hilgers PLLC.
As Hilgers continues it’s strong growth trajectory Mike will strategically manage our financial resources to achieve growth and profitability.
Mike’s career started at Ernst & Young (EY), where he focused on tax situations as a CPA. He progressed into finance and treasury roles before entering the financial services industry in the late 1990s. In financial services Mike notably directed a capital raise of over $2 billion for TD Ameritrade and separately a capital raise of $750 million for E*TRADE. He also managed the risk department overseeing the extension of margin to clients. Additionally, Mike was on the M&A team at both Ameritrade and E*Trade when that portion of the industry was being “consolidated”. More recently, Mike successfully expanded a Registered Investment Adviser (RIA) from 2 financial advisors to over 65 advisors nationwide. There are many similarities between the RIA space and the Hilgers law firm including national reach and growth expectations.
Mike and his wife, Genice, have celebrated their 30th anniversary. They have lived in all four U.S. time zones and are parents to three grown children: Chris, Morgan, and Carson. In his downtime, Mike enjoys spending time in his yard, which recently served as the venue for his oldest son’s wedding, traveling with family, and watching sporting events.
