About Andrew
Andrew Cherin earned his law degree from Seattle University School of Law in 2011. He came to law school after undergraduate studies and completed a three-year program that led to his J.D., entering the bar of the profession at a time of rapid change in legal practice on the West Coast. He keeps a steady attention to legal education and the practical demands of practice.
Following graduation Cherin secured the credentials that allow him to practice in both Washington and California. That dual licensure has shaped the geography of his work. He operates across state lines, advising and representing clients whose matters involve the legal systems of two adjacent states. Working in multiple jurisdictions has required him to manage differing procedural rules and statutory frameworks, and to adapt written strategy to local practice norms.
Cherin's career path has included time in private practice and engagements that required coordination among lawyers, clients and regulators. He has taken assignments that put him in courtrooms and at negotiation tables. He has also handled matters that require detailed attention to statutory text and regulatory guidance. Colleagues describe him as methodical and practical in approach, preferring clear steps to resolve questions of law and fact.
He keeps active membership in professional circles. Those memberships have given him continuing exposure to developments in both Washington and California law. He has participated in seminars and professional gatherings that emphasize changes in rules and recent decisions. He pays particular attention to procedural requirements and to the mechanics of pleading and discovery when representing clients across jurisdictions.
Cherin believes that geographic breadth often brings complexity. He works to break that complexity into manageable pieces. He prepares filings with an eye to local court expectations. He also coordinates with co-counsel when matters cross state lines, ensuring attention to deadlines and compliance issues. His communication style is direct. He lays out options and trade-offs so clients can weigh them against practical concerns.
He maintains a practice that serves clients whose matters arise under Washington and California law. He continues to handle litigation and transactional matters that require familiarity with both state systems and their procedural demands.
