Andy’s father was an attorney, and his mother was a paralegal – he was “supposed” to go to law school. However, Andy wanted to attend business school instead. At the age of 19, while taking business classes at the local college, he also started attending various business-related seminars and events to learn even more than would be taught in business school. “I have always believed that the key to my future success would come from my desire to always be better than the competition, never be stagnant and to continuously learn from the best.”
In 1995, after graduating from the FIU School of Business, Andy co-founded CopyScan Technologies (then CopyScan) with his brother Jeremy, with no more than a one-page ad and good credit.
In 2003, after many customer requests to shred documents from his legal clients, Andy created another company, RecordSHRED, which he sold to a multi-national competitor twelve years later.
Despite Andy’s success in business, he was overworked and needed to find a better way to run his business before he got burned out. He searched high and low to find great mentors, plus the right tools and training, to help create better processes and systems so he could have more balance in his life. By leveraging technology and automation, it allowed him to free up his time to do more of the things he wanted to do in his business, and gave him the opportunity to spend more time with his growing family.
Because he has owned a thriving litigation support company since 1995, and he grew up in a family of legal professionals, Andy understands the needs, challenges and frustrations that attorneys have in managing their firm’s operations and marketing, meeting their client’s expectations and making a profit at the end of the day.
Knowing that many attorneys worry they are stuck being overworked and underpaid, Andy assembled a team of experts and co-founded Level Up Lawyer to help attorneys create a thriving practice while achieving the time-freedom that he did.
