Mr. Cherkasky, is a great Military defense lawyer. He takes his time to evaluate each situation and then he gives you an honest opinion. I have worked with Andy for the past three months. Normally most lawyers would have become very frustrated with my situation because it was so drawn out. Andy made ...the necessary phone calls and did the necessay research, actually he put in more that the required work. His prices are very reasonable. Mr. Cherkasky has prior military experience and uses that experience to help every unique situation. What I mostly admired is the fact that he is always available when you call or email. I think he is very fair and sympathetic. My allegations were enough to get me out the military with the going rate of draw down across forces. However, I believe the advice and dedication that was put into my case helped me. Andy thinks in legal terms, he will tell you like he sees it. I believe if you chose Mr. Andrew Cherkasky to represent you, you will not regret the decision that you have made.

Client Review of Andrew D. Cherkasky

Andrew Cherkasky impressed me during our first phone conversation. I contacted five different law firms, twice, speaking with them at length regarding my concerns and situation. I put a lot of effort in to researching these different firms and chose Andy above all others. Andy was responsive, knowled...geable, and sympathetic throughout the process. He was available, 24/7, and always took the time to speak with me regarding my concerns and where we were at in the process. I quickly learned that he possess unmatched drive and determination. He attacks problems from all angles before settling on a course of action and plays each one out in great detail. The benefits of his actions were apparent long before we stepped foot in the hearing; amassing a sizeable defense file. He kept me informed and sought my input on all matters. During proceedings he was unleashed and fought for every inch; unwilling to yield to even the slightest jest from the prosecutors. He produced a favorable outcome for me and it's easy to say that I have the highest respect for his character and abilities. This is who you want in your corner.
