Andrea joined The Marks Law Firm, P.A. in November 2008. She moved to Orlando to attend Barry University School of Law, where she received the Family and Child Concentration in conjunction with her Juris Doctorate.

Due to her particular interest in building strong families, Andrea has also been Certified by the Florida Supreme Court as a Family Law Mediator and is also a Parenting Coordinator. Andrea works diligently to utilize her skills as a Certified Mediator to help families work through conflict.  She is available to both parties in dispute as an independent third party who can help develop resolution.  Mediation and Parent Coordination are methods of conflict resolution that help mitigate the cost of family disputes and keep the integrity of everyone involved.  Additionally, she volunteers as a Guardian ad Litem in Orange and Seminole Counties. Andrea recognizes that ensuring the best interest of the minor child often requires reducing conflict and learning how to function effectively as a family during and after the legal process.
