Andrew David Cherkasky

Andy Cherkasky is an incredible attorney! If Andy or his team have the availability to take your case, you’d be a fool not to go with them. If you’re being charged with sexual assault/harassment etc., I want you to know you are not going into a fair fight. I cannot stress this enough, the system is ...built to put innocent people away, and without the best, it will. Andy is the best. The politicians have rigged the system against you and you were convicted in their minds the second someone complained. If I didn’t have Andy as an attorney, I truly think the Air Force would’ve succeeded in framing me. Andy handled a falsified and fabricated sexual assault allegation against me and I was amazed. Watching Andy work, albeit from an uncomfortably close seat to the action, was a true master class in trial litigation. As a Maj in the Air Force, I was very familiar about the shady things that JAG/OSI pull, but however bad you think they are, I promise you, they are worse. You probably hear things like “no one is out to get you” or “they’re just doing their jobs” I’m here to tell you they are out to get you! If you have even the smallest allegation levied against you, the AF will take the case all the way; your career will be ruined before you have the first iota of due process. They do not care, at all, about their people and will bend or break regulations and laws to try and screw you. These politically incensed cases like sexual assault/harassment etc. will have the JAG pull out every stop against you no matter how ludicrous or how much exculpatory evidence there is. Andy was able handle every bit of the mountains of BS and low blows the AF handed out. My case took over 3 years to finally get to court due to the Air Force delaying. It started as a GCM and was moved to a BOI. Don’t let the lesser punishments in a BOI deceive you. A BOI has pretty much zero rules and there is no accountability for the “Judge” so they will pull as many sleezy tricks as they can to throw you under the bus. I personally witnessed OSI make statements they were instructed to not, opposing council ask questions they had been explicitly directed not to ask, testify to the jury on evidence not turned over to defense council (this is like Law 101) just to mention a few. These JAG attorneys know better, but they also know there are no consequences for their actions in a BOI. It truly breaks my heart that the military displays this abhorrent behavior that flies in the face of our core values. The fact that HAF allows this to go on is slap in the face to every airman who has ever served. If you haven’t seen Andy and their team on TV, they are fighting this kind of politically influenced behavior from every angle they can. Andy worked tirelessly on my case for 3 years and even helped me with security clearance issues when the AF tried to halt my career in that manner. Throughout that entire process it was always easy to get ahold of Andy for any issue, of which there were many. My words certainly aren’t sufficient or eloquent enough to describe how grateful I am to have had Andy take my case. He is truly fantastic, and it was a pleasure and an honor working with him.

Andrew cherkasky was the perfect pick for me. I was being charged with 4 counts of sexual assault and adultery. The day I contacted Andrew it was business, it was professional, and ready to win. The optimism from the firm made me feel confident that I was right and that they could help me when my cas...e. Andrew flew in to okinawa and we immediately met up and started planning. He spent the weekend getting ready and we started the following Monday. Andrew went in with the mindset of winning and choose a jury perfect for us. The whole week was full of professionalism and a lawyer ready to protect and represent a client he believed in. He gave it all he had and it was commented that he gave the best closing argument that the defense team had seen in a long time. After all was said and done we got ready for the verdict. Full acquittal of every charge. This man saved my life and my families life with my first baby on the way this changed the path of my life. During the whole time Andrew was hire him and his wife Katie were always available always made and attempt even though I was overseas to make sure they answered any questions I had and made me feel as comfortable as possible. They always made sure to tell me there were no promises but they were going to do everything they could. So I say if you believe you need a lawyer don't wait make sure you get the representation you deserve. You will not regret it and it will be the best decision you can ever make to protect your life. So to the team at Cherkasky Law, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I contacted and hired Mr. Cherkasky when I was accused of a very heinous sexual assualt crime I knew I didn't commit. He and his team immediately jumped into my case and remained in constant contact thoughout the entire ordeal, often contacting me when they hadn't heard from me for a bit. During ou...r contact, Mr. Cherkasky was not only there for me professionally, he made it clear he was there personally as well if I ever needed to talk through anything I was experiencing. He and his team showed beyond a doubt that they truly care for and represent their clients very well. He and his team were always very clear and honest with everything. It didn't matter if it was good news or something I didn't want to hear, there was never a question at the end of our conversations. They are very professional and very, very good at what they do. I was facing an event that carried very steep and longterm consequences, and Mr. Cherkasky with his team, through their perserverence, incredible knowledge, and superior skillset, shed light on the truth. Mr. Cherkasky and his team saved my career, they saved my family, and they saved my life. I wish what I went through on no person, but the reality is that it happens everyday. If given the chance to do it all again, a thousand times over, I would choose Mr. Cherkasky and his team to represent me every single time.
