About Andrew
Biography
For more than 20 years, Andrew Rochen has been engaged in an extensive state and federal civil litigation and trial practice throughout Florida. Mr. Rochen attended the University of Michigan for his undergraduate education, and thereafter attended the University of Miami, where he earned his Juris Doctor, with honors. Upon graduating from law school, Mr. Rochen accepted a job as an associate attorney at a botique litigation firm located in Boca Raton. Thereafter, Mr. Rochen accepted a position with a large state-wide firm, where he remained for more than 10 years, working his way up from associate attorney to one of the firm's few shareholders. In addition to chairing the litigation division of his prior law firm, Mr. Rochen focused his personal practice on litigating various types of claims arising out of tort liability, transportation liability, corporate liability, professional liability, government liability and property damage. He also routinely litigated high-exposure matters involving catastrophic loss, including claims involving wrongful death, brain injuries and spinal cord injuries. Mr. Rochen has litigated several hundred claims throughout his career, from pre-suit through trial, and has trial experience at both the state and federal levels.
In 2016, Mr. Rochen decided to leave his full-time litigation practice in order to pursue additional interests in alternative dispute resolution, and now serves as a Supreme Court certified circuit, county, family and appellate court mediator, as well as a Florida Supreme Court qualified arbitrator. He has served as a consultant for both plaintiffs and defendants, and has had the benefit of direct interaction with dozens of insurance companies during the course of his career, thus providing him a unique understanding as to how the insurance industry and respective insurance carriers view the litigation and settlement processes. He is intimately familiar with the emotional, psychological, and financial costs associated with prolonged litigation, and his overall experience affords him a unique perspective, in that, he understands the advantages of resolving a legal dispute in the conference room rather than the courtroom, but also appreciates that it is sometimes necessary to proceed to trial.
In addition to working as a mediator, Mr. Rochen remains actively involved in the Florida legal community and spends much of his time offering lectures to respective corporate and insurance clients regarding the myriad of issues that arise out of Florida litigation.
