Andrew Rader is one of about 1% of Florida lawyers who have become board certified by the Florida Bar in civil trial practice. This recognition by the Florida Bar was earned from Mr. Rader’s demonstrated excellence in legal knowledge (by examination) and actual trial experience.
With more than 30 years of legal service across Florida and New York, Rader’s groundbreaking IVF litigation set a powerful precedent in reproductive justice, helping Florida become one of the first states to recognize emotional damages for the negligent destruction of embryos. A distinguished pioneer in the Fertility legal space and board-certified in Civil Trial law, Rader recently received the 2025 Reproductive Justice Advocacy Award and was featured in The World’s Best Magazine Edition on Law and Innovation.
Rader’s unique scope ranges from empowering clients through IVF contract review to litigating reproductive negligence, including embryo destruction, IVF mix-ups and unregulated behavior in the in vitro fertilization sector.
He created the first Continuing Legal Education (CLE) virtual course on IVF litigation for LawPracticeCLE (LPCLE), and also launched a Florida Bar-approved, in-person CLE panel alongside leading Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility specialists.
Rader is a member of SEEDS Growing Ethics and will serve as a panelist at its upcoming national Spring Conference in Atlanta, GA. A strong advocate for IVF and REI, he is also a vocal proponent of greater oversight and regulation in a fertility industry that remains largely unregulated. He is currently collaborating with a South Florida legislator on proposed changes to expand the time frame in which negligent providers may be held liable, and frequently speaks at fertility and wellness symposiums on the legal, ethical, and regulatory issues shaping assisted reproduction, with an emphasis on empowering patients through informed decision-making.
His cases and expert perspective have been featured in the media, including NBCnews.com, Yahoo!news, Parents.com, The South Florida Sun Sentinel, CBS Austin, Daily Business Review, NBC WESH2, TapInto, Telemundo, Savoir Faire Magazine, AOL News, KOMO News, and more.
Andrew J. Rader is among the elite 1% of Florida attorneys who are Board Certified in Civil Trial Law by The Florida Bar, a distinction earned through rigorous examination and extensive courtroom experience. With more than 30 years of practice in both Florida and New York, he has successfully represented clients in state and federal courts, earning a reputation as a relentless advocate and skilled trial lawyer.
In 2013, Mr. Rader co-founded Rader Law Group, LLC, a South Florida firm dedicated to complex personal injury, medical malpractice, and commercial litigation. His passion for justice and his deep understanding of medical negligence naturally led to a specialized focus on IVF and fertility law. Today, he is a trusted advocate for families nationwide facing the emotional and financial devastation caused by lost embryos, lab errors, and other reproductive negligence.
Born and raised in Freeport, New York, Mr. Rader earned his B.A. in Economics from Binghamton University and graduated cum laude from The George Washington University Law School in Washington, D.C., where he was invited to join the Moot Court Board for his outstanding oral advocacy. He began his career as a public defender in the South Bronx before becoming an AV-rated trial lawyer, securing significant recoveries for his clients throughout his career.
Outside the courtroom, Mr. Rader is deeply committed to community service. He serves as President of the Board of Trustees at Congregation Kol Tikvah and supports multiple charitable organizations. He and his wife, Meryl Rome, M.D., are proud parents of two grown children: Hannah, a Program Director in Denver, and Spencer, a West Point graduate now pursuing a career as an electrician in Northern Canada.
