Exceptional Representation and Genuine Care

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.

By far the team to go with!

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.

I highly reccomend Mr. Cherkasky!!

Mr. Cherkasky helped me through a very tough situation, and gave me great legal advice. He responded promptly, and gave great attention to detail. Once he flew out to meet with me, he gave all his focus to preparing for court and making sure we had a strategy. Once in court, he applied those strategi...es and used his personable demeanor and people skills to work with the hearing officer and all members to help our outcome. He used his public speaking skill effectively and was able to prove that there was no ground to stand on as far as prosecuting me. Mr. Cherkasky's military background and strong people skills gave me confidence and it resulted in a favorable outcome. I would without a doubt recommend Mr. Cherkasky and his partners to any persons looking for legal help or representation. Thank you sir!!

Worth Every Penny!

Finding a lawyer is one of the worst things I've had to do in my life. Trying to find a lawyer is like trying to decide on cereal in the cereal aisle, it is a very frustrating experience. The options are endless, they all offer something different, some are good for you, and some are not. Thankful...ly after several days of research and calls I was blessed/guided to the services of Mr. Andy Cherkasky. Unlike the other firms I contacted that left me feeling anxious, confused and skeptical when I spoke with Mr. Cherkasky I knew within the first 5 minutes I was in good hands. I could not have asked for a more personable, honest, knowledgeable, fair, humorous, inclusive, charismatic, approachable, lawyer to represent me in my time of need. Andy is Awesome! He has the unique ability of connecting with people in a way that is genuine and sincere. In my 2 years of working with him his commitment to me and my situation has not changed in the slightest. He always returns my calls/emails/facetime requests and he takes the time to clarify things that are heavy with legal jargon regardless of how long it takes. There were numerous situations where he went above and beyond to ensure I was not only received good service but phenomenal representation. He takes his job seriously; he has a knack for getting to the root of complex situations while keeping everything understandably simple. Attention to detail, time management, and customer service are a few of the things I looked for in my search for representation…I found them and much more with Mr. Cherkasky. I was very impressed with the level professionalism and empathy in our initial conversation. Shortly after, I was awe-struck by the layout of his website and his information management/accounting processes. What you get from his site is the exactly what you get from him in person...#BestMilitaryLawer. His past military experience is invaluable, his knowledge of law and military law were judicious throughout. His physical appearance, organizational skills and punctuality aide in his ability to get his point across clearly and concisely. Cool, calm and collected. When situations aren't going his way he has a unique way of processing the situation, regrouping and addressing the issue effortlessly without any signs of stress or concern. Mr. Cherkasky is extremely organized. He is totally up front with every aspect of his management of the case; his tracking system is state of the art. The number of hours applied to each phase of the process, the flights, hotels, rental cars etc; everything was clearly tracked and available for me to view. He literally has everything covered, not once did I have a reason to second guess his integrity which allowed me to focus on the well-being of my family and myself throughout. He is an amazing family man with a gorgeous wife that is also an attorney. The dynamic duo exemplifies teamwork, it is evident in the life balance and support they have for one another while building a beautiful family and staying in front of cases. It is my pleasure to sincerely share my opinion and experience with Mr. Cherkasky. I literally could go on forever about how satisfied I am with his services...my family and I won’t ever be able to thank him enough for all that he has done to ensure I received the very best representation possible.
