Andrew Reinhardt graduated from St. Lawrence University and Syracuse University College of Law in New York. As a member of the D.C., Maryland, and Virginia Bars, he has represented thousands of injured persons since he began practicing law in 1980. He has specialized in workers’ compensation, personal injury, and social security disability cases.

Andy is a longtime board member of the Workers’ Injury Law & Advocacy Group (WILG), a national organization of attorneys who represent injured workers. He has served as the president of that organization. He is also an active member of the Virginia Trial Lawyers Association (VTLA), the National Organization of Social Security Claimant’s Representatives (NOSSCR), the Richmond Bar Association, and the American Association of Justice (AAJ). He is regularly called on to write articles and speak on topics relating to his areas of specialty both statewide and on a national basis. Andy continuously serves as an advocate for injured workers by educating state and national legislators on workers’ compensation issues.

Because Andrew spent the greater part of his career defending the rights of injured workers, he received the inaugural Lifetime Achievement Award in Workers’ Compensation by Virginia Lawyers Weekly in 2024. In fact, this recognition has been named the Andy Reinhardt Award to honor his body of work, and will be named thus for all future recipients.
