Andrew P. Carroll

Andrew assists real estate investors, developers, and general contractors in risk assessment and litigation stemming from the purchase, construction, sale, and leasing of commercial and residential properties.

Andrew also defends lenders, mortgage servicers, and other financial institutions in litigation alleging violations of federal and state consumer finance laws, such as the Federal Debt Collection Practices Act, Truth in Lending Act, Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigations and actions. Andrew further advises lenders, servicers, and property owners in title disputes, eminent domain matters, and other litigation involving real property.

Andrew focuses his professional liability practice on representing attorneys and law firms in a variety of civil and disciplinary proceedings, including claims of legal malpractice, abuse of process, breach of fiduciary duty, violations of debt collection laws, wrongful use of civil proceedings, and actions brought by state disciplinary boards. Andrew also represents attorneys in litigation relating to partnership dissolutions, third-party litigation funding, and fee splitting disputes.

Andrew ensures that the approaches he takes not only resolve the matter, but do so in a way that makes sense for their legal practice, which may mean resolving quickly to avoid protracted litigation or fighting until the end, but most of his strategy is a blend of the two based on circumstances in the individual case.
