Catherine Mary Cherkasky

Katie Cherkasky is an excellent choice for anyone needing military defense. She provided several free consultations over the phone without requiring me to commit to paying for any services. I was an Active Duty service member facing Field Grade Article 15. Katie advised me of all my options at all st...ages of the process. She was always available to me, even late in the evenings, on weekends, and despite the fact that my case was going on during the Christmas and New Year's holiday season. She was always looking out for my interest, not the military's or her own. While an acquittal was never very likely in my case, she helped me build the best possible defense by gathering evidence of good conduct and character recommendations, and helping me write a strong memorandum on my behalf. In the end we were able to achieve what was likely the best possible outcome given what I was facing. The cost was reasonable (an old friend of mine who is also an attorney said the prices were low) and was a simple flat fee, no hidden charges. Katie is honest, ethical, and extremely knowledgeable regarding the Uniform Code of Military Justice. My case was a loser and other military defense attorneys were not interested in taking it on knowing the odds of "winning" were against them. She did her best to help me limit the damage I faced and I am very grateful. Anyone in need of a military defense attorney should look nowhere else.

First and foremost, I decided to hire Andrew and Katie Cherkasky based on the recommendation of a military lawyer friend. You know they are good if their own peer recommended them! I would like to say to anyone who is in ANY military legal trouble, no matter how overwhelmed you feel, do not lose hope...! Call to speak with the Cherkasky team right away. It is very important to have a proper civilian military defense lawyer -- someone that you trust to defend your good name and assist you in determining the best course of action to take. I made the mistake of not trusting my instincts and instead believed that the on base Area Defense Counsel (ADC) would be able to advocate for me. Boy, I was so wrong. My case was an "administrative" issue, so it didn't get the support that I needed to protect myself against the allegations from my commanders. I had hired another lawyer initially, but did not appreciate that all I talked to was his paralegal. From the moment I decided to make the switch, I was so grateful that I had Andrew and Katie Cherkasky on my side -- I would recommend their expertise, professionalism and knowledge to all my military friends and colleagues. Just hold on, don't lose hope and please call to speak to them. I know without a doubt, I am glad I did.

I am blessed and thankful to have had the Cherkasky Law team by my side during some of the hardest times in my life. They are the Best Court Martial & Separation Defense Team I have ever worked with and they worked for and with me every step of the way. They got my Court Martial Charges dropped after... presenting defense evidence to support my case, also negotiated and defended a better separation for me. They not only did their due diligence they went above and beyond making i was aware of what was going on and that i was okay with everything they were doing. coming out of this ordeal I am not only grateful to have had them represent me I am a brighter individual now in the steps necessary to make sure one has a good defense team on their side. I felt relieved having them on my side because they believed my innocence and helped give me the support i needed to get through my trial and separation board. Given that Sexual Assault Accusations nowadays is almost a sure guilty verdict, they made sure to present the facts in my favor and not let popularity contest get in their way, they truly work for their client and will defend you 100%. Thank You Sherkasky Law, Katie & Andy, for everything! You guys are the best!!!
