More About Us

In addition to our own staff, Cherokee has retained some of the most capable and respected individuals in specialty fields critical to our success, including tax liens, non-performing mortgages including securitizations and trusts, bankruptcy law, and the full spectrum of environmental abatement, from engineers to attorneys.

For Security Reasons:

Regrettably, our world is increasingly dangerous. Recently, some Cherokee personnel were confronted at their homes, or contacted by telephone, by individuals associated with foreclosures, or by people seeking "special" treatment. We therefore now truncate the names of most individuals named on our public web sites, to protect their security and privacy, and that of their families.

In order to reduce spam we do not publish "clickable" e-mail addresses. Please see the Contact Cherokee web page for email information.
