Andrew obtained his bachelor’s degree from the University of South Florida. He then attended Stetson Law School, where he acquired his Juris Doctor with a concentration in advocacy.
While at Stetson, he received numerous awards, including the Doyle Conflict Resolution Inc. Top Grade Award and the Leadership Development certificate.

- Q. Does Ohio Medicaid estate recovery have the right to back charge from the beginning of service
- A: Generally speaking, medicaid estate recovery in Ohio seeks reimbursement for all expenses paid on a person's behalf from the time they turn 55 and older. There can be exceptions depending on timing, jurisdiction, etc. Estate recovery is a tricky thing to tackle by yourself. It may be beneficial for you to speak to someone who is familiar with the rules and can review things in more detail and determine any options you my have.
- Q. Do Trust Protectors monitor trusts when the "creator" dies or do they have to be asked/invited to get involved?
- A: Trusts can vary quite a bit in their terms. I would recommend you sit down with an attorney who practices in this area of law to review the exact language of the Trust to answer your questions.
Best of luck to you.
- Q. How long after someone passes and probate has passed can someone get in trouble for lying about a will in Ohio
- A: There are obviously a lot of underlying issues here and further investigation may be warranted. Without more information, the only thing I can say is that if someone withholds a Will for a year or more they can be disinherited by operation of law.
