Creating Reliable, Secure Processes

Combining years of experience attained from working as an attorney and a certified Project Management Professional, Andrew has played critical roles in the administration of many of the largest and most complex settlement programs in history. He directs teams of attorneys, analysts, project managers and software developers to design and implement creative solutions in mass claim programs and class action settlements.

“​​​​​​​​​​​​​I love the combination of legal analysis and number crunching. More importantly, I feel privileged to help thousands of claimants find equitable relief.”​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
