Andrew Skemp
Biography
Andrew Skemp is a Board-Certified Personal Injury Trial Lawyer who focuses his practice on complex medical malpractice and nursing home negligence litigation. He represents individuals and families harmed by systemic healthcare failures, surgical errors, hospital negligence, and abuse within long-term care facilities.
Board Certification in Personal Injury Trial Law is a distinction earned by only a small percentage of Texas attorneys and reflects substantial trial experience, judicial and peer review, and demonstrated excellence in courtroom advocacy. Andrew’s certification underscores his commitment to trying serious cases and preparing every matter as if it will be presented to a jury.
Andrew’s practice is heavily concentrated in nursing home negligence and abuse cases, including preventable falls, pressure injuries (bedsores), malnutrition and dehydration, medication errors, and physical or sexual assault within care facilities. He has litigated cases involving catastrophic injury and wrongful death arising from failures in supervision, staffing, wound prevention protocols, and resident safety policies.
In addition to his long-term care practice, Andrew handles complex medical malpractice cases involving hospital system failures, delayed diagnosis, surgical errors, anesthesia complications, and breakdowns in post-operative care. These cases often require extensive expert development, detailed medical record analysis, and aggressive discovery — areas where Andrew’s disciplined preparation and trial-focused approach are especially evident.
Andrew has recovered millions of dollars for injured clients and has successfully handled cases in counties throughout Texas. His litigation experience includes depositions of physicians and corporate representatives, contested hearings, mediation, dispositive motion practice, and jury trials. He approaches every case with strategic intensity and a clear focus on accountability.
Outside the courtroom, Andrew enjoys spending time with his two children. Whether swimming, traveling, or coaching his son’s soccer team, he brings the same energy and dedication to his family that he brings to his clients. A lifelong sports fan, he proudly supports the Dallas Cowboys.

She communicated with us throughout the entire process and was always available to answer any questions we had. Andrew and Gabby make a great team. They’re kind, knowledgeable, and have their client’s best interest at heart. We ended up with a settlement that everyone was happy with. We’re relieved to say that we can finally close this chapter.

Our family was placed in a difficult situation with a nursing home. After seeing a commercial for Janicek Law we contacted them for help. Andrew and Gabby were very professional, compassionate, and kept us informed throughout the process. Through mediation, Andrew negotiated an acceptable settlement for our family. We highly recommend Janicek Law.
