Our guest is attorney Andrew Schuh. Andrew earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of Southern California in 1993. He went on to earn his Juris Doctorate from the University of Arizona in 1996. He currently lives in Mount Vernon, WA after having practiced law in Southern California for 20 years. His law practice covers the State of Washington and he continues to handle matters in California. He is admitted to practice in Washington State, California, and the District of Columbia.
Andy started out his career at a mid-size medical malpractice defense firm in Los Angeles. Thereafter, he worked at Lewis, Brisbois, Bisgaard and Smith, one of the largest firms in the country, in their Orange County, California office. He continued to defend medical malpractice cases at that time, while broadening his practice areas to include most any type of civil litigation and estate planning. In 2005, Andy was recruited to the Legal Department of Sun Healthcare Group, Inc. located in Irvine, California, where his practice focused on issues related to elder care.
Sun was a publicly traded, diversified healthcare company with nationwide operations, over 30,000 employees and annual revenue of approximately $2 billion. Initially, Andy worked for Sun as Corporate Counsel for Litigation. In that capacity, he managed patient care litigation in a 13-state territory. After two years, Andy was promoted to Assistant General Counsel. As AGC, Andy managed all litigation nationwide for the company and its subsidiaries and also crossed over with regulatory, compliance, employment law, and human resource departments. In addition, as AGC, he was an advisor to senior management and the Board of Directors. After 9 years of service to Sun, the company was acquired by Genesis Healthcare, LLC. At that time, Andy and his family made the decision to move back to the Pacific Northwest, specifically to Mount Vernon, to be closer to his family and the home base of the family business, Schuh Family Farms.
Through Andy’s law practice he offers legal services in estate planning, probate, litigation, healthcare, and agri-business. He is a past President of the Skagit County Bar Association, Incorporator and past Board Member of Skagit Legal Aid, and past Treasurer and Board Member of the Mount Vernon Arts Commission. He continues to be a board member of the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival, Skagit County Law Library Board of Trustees, Western Washington Agricultural Association, Mount Vernon Public Schools Foundation, and is Chancellor St. Paul’s Episcopal Church. When he has free time, Andy enjoys spending it with his wife Bonnie and their English Bulldog Vivian, and visiting their three adult children who live in Seattle (soon to be New York , NY) and Laguna Niguel, CA.
