Andrew Koscianski - Cleveland, OH

Andrew Koscianski is an Attorney at NRS Injury Law, focusing on workers’ compensation law. From his first personal injury case, where he represented a badly hurt family member, to his current role advocating for injured workers, Andrew has always prioritized using the law to help others.

“I’ve always worked, in some form or another,” Andrew said as he outlined his career background. “I started as a busboy at an old family-run Italian place in North Royalton, and then I painted houses for Neubert Painting for seven years while making my way through high school and undergrad. Once I got into law school, I started working in legal clinics for Cleveland-Marshall, which gave me a head start on my career in law.”

Andrew reminisced on how a youth spent in the service industry and the trades gave him an appreciation for hard work, while an upbringing in a family of intergenerational attorneys inspired him to ultimately seek a law degree and a career where he could use the U.S. justice system to serve others.

Andrew’s first job out of law school was at the family law firm of Koscianski & Koscianski Co., LPA, and he described it as a trial-by-fire experience in which he was handed a highly diversified caseload that included anything from probate to family law, criminal defense, and personal injury. Andrew learned the ropes at the family firm, then went on to represent clients at a variety of firms, including helping one firm get off the ground, training a contingent of its paralegals and case managers, and wearing IT and management hats.

“By the start of my seventh year as a practicing attorney, I felt a calling to help others and hone my legal career towards a singular goal of service, towards using the justice system to help those who had been severely wronged,” said Andrew. “I had a few meetings with NRS Injury Law Co-Managing Partners Jerry Schneiberg and Dan Romaine, and I realized this firm is where I could do the most good.”

When he’s not representing the firm’s clients, Andrew fills his time with hands-on activities like going to the gym, cycling, and hiking. Andrew and his wife love to travel and are on a mission to visit all of the national parks. On weekends, Andrew plays in adult soccer leagues and disc golfs with friends.

“This is a team that sticks around,” Andrew said when asked to describe why he took a position at NRS Injury Law. “This firm has attorneys who have been with the firm for decades, because not only does NRS Injury Law empower the attorneys to be the best versions of themselves in terms of representing clients, but the firm truly values their employees and understands the importance of creating a teamwork-based approach between the firm, the attorney, and the client. That’s how they became the largest workers’ compensation firm in Ohio.”

Andrew is laidback yet strategic, easy to talk to yet ruthless in his client advocacy. His hard work, tenacity, and detail-based case-building are essential traits that align perfectly with NRS Injury Law’s mission to: “Provide empathetic and patient service to every person who calls the firm, and to relentlessly pursue the best possible outcome on behalf of every client by putting collective experience, knowledge, and passion to work every day.” To retain an effective legal team with a proven track record and to speak with Andrew and the firm about your case, call 855.468.4878 or fill out a convenient online contact form.
