Golden Law was the first firm that truly wanted to sit down, listen, and show genuine empathy for my situation. They offered honest and practical advice, guiding me to make the best decisions regarding my NJP. Katie’s care for her clients’ well-being is unmistakable—she provides clear, straightforwar...d counsel without sugarcoating the truth. It was a relief to find someone who not only listened but also took my case seriously. I would also like to extend my heartfelt thanks to everyone who took the time to share their experiences here on Avvo. Reading your reviews was tremendously helpful and reassured me that Andy and Katie were the right attorneys to represent me. Then there’s Andy, the other half of this incredible team. Calling him a master of his craft almost feels like an understatement. From the moment he flew in to represent me, he was courteous, responsive to my emails, and always treated me with respect. It was clear that he is highly respected in the courtroom; the way both the prosecution and the judge interacted with him demonstrated a deep regard for his expertise. Right from our first meeting, I knew he had my back. Court-martial cases can be incredibly stressful, but Andy’s professionalism, skill, and support made the entire process manageable. Watching Andy in the courtroom was like witnessing a masterclass in advocacy. His skill was evident at every step—from his compelling opening statements to his meticulous analysis and careful selection of jury members. His attention to detail in choosing the right individuals for the jury was crucial for achieving a favorable outcome. With years of experience and a strategic approach honed over countless trials, his expertise was unmistakable. His dedication and mastery gave me confidence that I had the very best representation. The level of expertise on my defense team was outstanding. Andy’s command of the law and his ability to convey it to the jury made a profound impact. I had the privilege of witnessing his intense closing statement, which captivated everyone in the courtroom, especially the jurors. Ultimately, he presented my case so effectively that it led to my full acquittal. Thanks to Andy and Katie, I can now retire with all my military benefits, securing a future for myself and my children. To my brothers and sisters who may find themselves facing a court-martial, remember: “you will be okay.” But to get through it, you need the best representation possible. Andy and Katie not only meet that standard—they exceed it. If you have the opportunity to have them represent you, don’t hesitate. They’re not just exceptional at their jobs; they genuinely save lives, relationships, and families. They did that for me, and I cannot thank them enough.

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.

Firstly, let me say 4000 characters is not nearly enough to give Andrew Cherkasky the praise he deserves. As a deployed member of the Air Force my life changed dramatically when I was informed I was being investigated for crimes I had no idea I had been committing. My circumstances were that of som...eone who was misinformed and naively took a NCOIC's word as law. My ADC had basically advised me that there was a very good chance that I would be convicted of all crimes I was being charged for. He believed I we be imprisioned for an extended period of time and that the prosecution had a very strong case against us. I was fortunate enough to have come across Mr. Cherkasky’s information online and requested a consult. Despite having other cases his response was very immediate. We were on the phone within a short time and speaking in detail about my situation. He provided me with assurances that he was skilled to handled the case and actually had several cases in the past which dealt with the same kind of situation. Upon taking the case he worked tirelessly to hold the JAG to due process and ensured my rights were being respected. His work schedule was almost unbelievable to me. With me being deployed he would take calls sometimes at 1 or 2 in the morning, then would wake the next day early and resume reviewing evidence. His knowledge of due process and the UCMJ was very impressive and he was able to completely answer every question I posed to him off the top of his head. We discussed in detail exactly what I needed to expect as things progressed forward. His goals and mine were completely aligned throughout the process and he was never shy to provided the kind of personal advice that my ADC shyed away from. The work he preformed was brilliant and he considered each aspect for the case from many viewpoints. He always listened to my suggestions and was never dismissive of my opinion despite my lack of judicial experience. He worked hard to ensure he was always moving forward in the direction I wanted him to. In my case I was exonerated of all charges and redeployed home. Once home there were still administrative issues to deal with. Even though much less was at stake once the charges were dropped, Mr. Cherkasky continued to work as an advisor and even reviewed all of my administrative paperwork. With regards to value... no matter what the cost you are getting his services at a bargain. His pricing was more competitive than any other lawyer I priced. If I hit the lottery I will definitely mail him a check to express my gratitude. Please contact me if you'd like and I can provide more information about Mr. Cherkasky's work ethic.

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.
