Outstanding !

Katie and Andy were wonderful to work with. From the very beginning they assured my family that they were on our side and would do everything in their power to win our case. They remained in constant contact with us throughout the whole process. We could not have asked for better lawyers which result...ed in a win. The case was found to have no basis and thrown out. Thank you for everything Katie and Andy!

Excellent service

I am in the military and I called multiple lawyers to help me with my family advocacy program (FAP) case. It was difficult to find a lawyer that knew anything about it. Mrs. and Mr. Cherkasky were a life saver. They helped me with the military and civilian process. They were available at all hours of... the night to answer questions. Answered their phone and emails promptly. They were amazing. I could not have asked for a better team to represent me. You are in good hands.

Exceptional Lawyer at an Amazing Law Firm

Katie is a great lawyer and an extremely good person in my opinion. I was thrown face first into a federal investigation, Sexual Assault, while I was in the process of separating from the Navy. I had every emotion known to man kind, mad, sad, confused, depressed and stressed an utter emotional wreck.... After consulting with Katie she put me at ease and I decided to hire her. She was always there for me when I needed her and she had a way of lifting my spirits every time we talked. I am station in Guam and let me tell you it was as if there was no time difference. If i needed her she was there. I would of been in way over my head if I had not decided to hire her. She is amazing and I recommend her and Golden Law to anyone in need especially military members. When i found out I was under an investigation I immediately started calling Lawyers. I called over 40 military versed lawyers and Katie is the only one that stuck out to me! Needless to say I am forever great full for what she has done to me. All allegations were officially dropped and I can not thank her enough. If your in need of a lawyer she should be your first call!

Exceptional Attorney!!!

I hired Katie a couple years ago and must say I was one of her first cases and you would have not even known. I would recommend her to anyone who is having an military issues no matter where you're located. Not only did she perform the duties I expected with a win but I've reached out during the year...s to clear issues I had moving forward and she was available and provided all the support and assistant needed. Hands down Katie is the Attorney you need on your team that will guide you through whatever you may be going through. I continue to recommend her services and each person had been over satisfied. She has saved my career and made my future in the military promising.

Excellent Attorney

Katie helped me out of a very distressing situation after I was involved in a car accident. My insurance carrier denied my coverage and I was facing litigation. Katie was very calming and reassuring throughout the process, not to mention thorough and responsive. Through her persistence she was able t...o resolve everything before the case escalated, which led to my insurance carrier reversing the denial! I was so grateful to have Katie on my side!!
