Andy handles all types of civil and commercial litigation, including personal injury, wrongful death, real estate/land use, contract, construction and other similar types of disputes from pleadings and motion practice through trial and appeals, when necessary. She also has experience handling other types of matters including securities fraud, business disputes, zoning appeals and will contests.
