Professional Background

Andy began his career in insurance defense, spending 20 years representing insurance companies in high-stakes litigation. His time on the defense side gave him insider knowledge of how insurers operate, which he now uses to fight back on behalf of the injured.

In 2011, he transitioned to plaintiff’s personal injury law, where he has since represented clients in car accidents, trucking crashes, wrongful death claims, and catastrophic injury cases. His ability to anticipate insurance tactics has led to numerous seven-figure verdicts and settlements in Florida’s state and federal courts.

Originally from Charleston, SC, Andy was raised in Central Florida. He graduated with honors from Western Carolina University with a double major in Political Science and Philosophy before earning his Juris Doctorate from the University of Florida School of Law, where he graduated in the top 20% of his class.
