About Andrew
Biography
Andrew Ellenberg helps individuals and families throughout Florida who have suffered devastating injuries or the loss of a loved one due to someone else’s negligence. He focuses on cases involving birth injuries, serious permanent harm, and wrongful death caused by medical errors, hospital and healthcare system failures, car, boat, truck, and air crashes, unsafe premises, and defective products.
For more than 30 years, Mr. Ellenberg’s practice has been dedicated exclusively to pursuing compensation for people enduring pain, suffering, and financial loss due to negligence. He has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars on their behalf—money that helps families rebuild and move forward.
He has been recognized in The Best Lawyers in America® every year from 2009 to 2026, and by Florida Super Lawyers every year since it began publication - from 2005 through 2026 - for his representation of plaintiffs in personal injury and medical malpractice cases.
He holds an “AV Preeminent” rating from Martindale-Hubbell, is rated “10-Superb” by Avvo, and has been honored by South Florida Legal Guide, Florida Monthly, Florida Trend, and The National Trial Lawyers for his work on behalf of individuals and families affected by negligence.
