About Andrew

Learn Andrew’s areas of practice.

Andrew's practice emphasizes general business litigation. His legal experience and academic background provide him with the skills to handle a wide range of business matters. Clients benefit from his energetic, innovative and effective approach in representing their interests.

 

Andrew has extensive experience representing project owners, contractors, and suppliers regarding enforcement of liens in private construction projects, and handling claims on performance bonds/retainage in public jobs. He has successfully litigated hundreds of these lawsuits on behalf of his clients.

 

A growing area of Andrew's practice is insurance coverage. Andrew has experience securing coverage on behalf of his clients when disputes arise with their insurers, having successfully handled coverage disputes in areas such as: construction defects, intellectual property claims, employee dishonesty, work site accidents, and other business related issues. He has recovered millions of dollars from insurers who initially denied coverage. Not only is indemnity (coverage for the damage) crucial for the client, but in addition, the insurer's contractual obligation to pay the client's legal fees in defending claims of alleged liabilities is an integral

part of securing coverage.

 

Andrew also represents business and public housing authorities in landlord-tenant matters. He has litigated contested evictions with consistently favorable results and has developed policy and procedure manuals to assist in effectively resolving disputes for his clients.

I have used Drew for the past 15 years both for my personal and business use. I've been 100% satisfied with him and the results he has produced. I have recommended him to my friends and associates to whom they have all have thanked me and think of Drew and his results the same way I do.

Drew will make sure you get paid
I work in the Credit Department for a material supplier. I have used Drew Chisholm as our attorney for many, many years. Drew knows the complexities of all the lien laws in private jobs (both commercial and residential), as well as the many hurdles in asserting claims on Federal and State Projects. He knows when and how to assert those rights and gets us paid. He is also very creative and adept at crafting agreements so our customers pay us. Drew is personable, practical and resolves our legal issues.
