Discovery, Depositions & Trial Preparation

Andrew has extensive experience managing fact and expert discovery, including preparing for and attending depositions of plaintiffs, treating physicians, corporate representatives, and experts. He has taken depositions of percipient and third-party fact witnesses and has assisted with expert discovery and trial preparation, including bellwether case development in high-profile national multidistrict litigations and California Judicial Council Coordination Proceedings.

Motions Practice & Case Resolution

Andrew drafts dispositive motions and other pleadings and has negotiated favorable resolutions for clients, including leading settlement negotiations in Fair Credit Reporting Act matters and securing voluntary dismissals with prejudice. He is experienced in navigating fast-moving cases through resolution while maintaining a strategic, detail-oriented approach.

Thought Leadership, Community Engagement, & Mentorship

Andrew authors client alerts and thought leadership pieces on Florida civil procedure and other legal developments relevant to corporate defense interests. He has spoken on litigation practice, legal writing, and emerging legal issues, and has organized continuing legal education programs. Andrew has also been invited by members of the federal judiciary to speak with judicial interns about litigation careers and clerkships and is committed to mentoring law students and contributing to the Southwest Florida legal community.

Prior Experience

Andrew was a judicial clerk for the Honorable Kyle C. Dudek in the United States District Court, Middle District of Florida, where he prepared legal research memos and drafted opinions. Andrew was also a student law clerk at a competing law firm, where he worked in areas related to business, real estate, land use, and construction law. As a summer intern with the United Sates Air Force at Eglin Air Force Base, Andrew helped JAGs prepare for oral arguments, presented legal research, and provided drafting assistance. In his prior career as a therapist, he developed many of the perspectives that inform his daily practice, including passionate, client-centered advocacy and the inherent dignity of every person.

Personal Interests

Andrew is always game for a challenge — whether that means a complex product liability case or a marathon board game night. He enjoys reading, fitness, and spending time year-round in the beautiful Florida outdoors, accompanied by his wife, two children, and their goldendoodle. Andrew believes there’s no better way to strategize than with fresh air and family by his side — and that every good litigator knows when to roll the dice, when to play it safe, and when to bring snacks.
