Andrew J. Rader, Esq., founder and leader of Rader Law Group, is board-certified in civil trial, a prestigious distinction awarded by the Florida Supreme Court to less than one percent of attorneys in the state. With over three decades of litigation experience in Florida and New York, Mr. Rader has built a reputation for legal excellence, strategic trial work, and community trust.
Rader Law Group, LLC is a leading South Florida personal injury and commercial litigation firm, known for handling serious car accidents, catastrophic injuries, business disputes, medical malpractice, and slip/trip and fall cases. Andrew is also nationally recognized for his expertise in IVF-related matters, including contract review, reproductive negligence (embryo destruction, IVF mix-ups), and the legal gray areas within the rapidly evolving fertility sector.
Notably, Mr. Rader helped shift the legal narrative in Florida surrounding the treatment of embryos. In a landmark case involving destroyed embryos, he successfully argued for damages under negligent infliction of emotional distress despite state law then treating embryos strictly as property. The precedent he set has since influenced broader protections for families navigating fertility treatments in an underregulated industry.
An educator as well as a litigator, Mr. Rader’s insights into personal injury and fertility law have been incorporated into continuing legal education (CLE) courses for attorneys and paralegals alike. His classes emphasize real-world application, ethical complexity, and courtroom readiness, drawing interest from legal professionals seeking to expand their practice areas and understanding of emerging medical-legal intersections.
Born and raised in Freeport, New York, Andrew earned his B.A. in Economics from Binghamton University and his J.D. cum laude with Honors from The George Washington University Law School. He was invited to the GW Moot Court Board for excellence in oral argument and later taught at the Al J. Cone Trial Advocacy Institute. He began his career as a public defender in the South Bronx before becoming an AV-rated trial attorney with a track record of seven-figure verdicts and settlements.
Under his leadership, Rader Law Group is guided by strength, integrity, and experience. Each case is handled with the utmost care, and clients receive compassionate, personalized attention from a team committed to securing full and fair outcomes.
A frequent speaker and legal commentator, Mr. Rader was recognized in The World’s Best Magazine’s 2025 edition on Law and Innovation. He has offered commentary and insights across a wide range of respected platforms, including the Florida Fertility Expo, EMPOWER HEALTH 2025, Daily Business Review, Savoir Faire Magazine, Sun Sentinel, Parents.com, Authority Magazine, Clinician.com, Victim to Victory: The Personal Injury Playbook, and others.
On the personal side, Andrew is married nearly 40 years to Meryl Rome, MD and has two children, Spencer, a West Point graduate, served in the Army and “retired” as a Captain, who is studying to become an electrician, and Hannah, graduate of the University of Florida, an aspiring writer in Brooklyn and artist.
He has been recognized by Super Lawyers as a Top-Rated Personal Injury Attorney in Coral Springs, Florida.
