Andrew received his B.S. from Florida State University and went on to get his JD/MBA (Law Degree/Masters in Business) from Stetson University College of Law. He has been a member of the Florida Bar since 2001. Their team is exemplary. Their professionalism is top notch. Andrew, Sarah, Nicole, and their entire team worked with me for years to get the best outcome I could have imagined while going up against an adversary which employed 3 different law groups in Tampa. These high powered firms threw teams of attorneys, paralegals, and analysts at us but Andrew and his team stood their ground. Never wavering with their attempts to bully. Having an attorney you trust to be honest with you while being a great strategist and a Lion in court is everyone's hope when they take the plung of writing the first retainer check. Look no further. Feel confident in your decision to trust this team with your business and livelihood. Highly recommend! Andrew developed and implemented a legal strategy that favorably resolved a complex corporate shareholder dispute. He took time to understand the challenge at hand, my position on the matter and to present a range of legal options. Once decided upon, Andrew executed the strategy to perfection, just as he initially laid out, The Clearwater Business Law group was responsive, communicative and proactive in resolving the matter.
