Andrew began his legal career as an attorney with a mid-sized litigation boutique in Tampa where he worked closely with the late Hendrik Uiterwyk.

High Reach II et al.(2016); McCabe v. RJ Reynolds Tobacco Co.(2016); Stalley as Guardian of the Property of Hintz v. Allstate Ins. Co. et al.(2017); and Wolfe v.

In 2021, Andrew joined a small plaintiffs’ medical malpractice firm where he focused his practice on holding doctors, hospitals, and other medical providers responsible for damages caused to patients due to their negligence. Andrew participated in numerous medical malpractice pre-trial depositions, hearings, and civil jury trials while demonstrating an unwavering commitment to his clients\' cases. Andrew served as one of the trial attorneys in Crohan v. University Community Hospital, which resulted in a $68 million dollar verdict. Crohan was listed as a top-ten medical malpractice verdict in the United States for 2022, and was also recognized as the largest jury award that year for a case involving erroneous medical treatment.
