Advocacy Grounded in Science, Experience, and Results

Juan-Carlos (JC) Andaluz, Esq., is a Personal Injury Attorney specializing in Traumatic Brain

Injury (TBI) and Spinal Cord Injury cases. Prior to joining the firm, JC represented patients and

insureds against wrongful denials by private health insurance companies and managed-care

Medicare and Medicaid organizations. He successfully litigated cases in state and federal court,

including a landmark injunction against one of the largest health insurance companies, securing

lifesaving surgery for a client whose coverage had been wrongfully denied as “not medically

necessary.” JC also fought for individuals with disabilities who had been wrongfully deprived of

personal care services and private duty nursing services by the Agency for Persons with

Disabilities (APD), holding them accountable and fighting for the rights of those he represented

so they could live independently, integrated in the community, and with dignity, as mandated by

Olmstead v. L.C., 527 U.S. 581 (1999).

JC’s legal career is deeply informed by his personal experience and a foundation in Neural

Science (Neuroscience). He graduated from New York University with a degree in Neural

Science and earned his law degree from NSU Shepard Broad College of Law, graduating Summa

Cum Laude in December 2021 with a concentration in Health Law. He passed the Florida Bar

Examination in July 2022 and was admitted to practice law in New York on September 2025. JC

is currently in the process of applying for admission to the District of Columbia (Washington,

D.C.) Bar.

JC’s dedication to advocacy is rooted in a profoundly personal journey. On December 2, 2014,

his mother was the victim of a hit-and-run motor vehicle accident that left her with a severe

traumatic brain injury. The insurance company initially refused to cover the lifesaving

rehabilitation she needed, forcing JC and his family to bear the full cost of her recovery and

treatment. Through relentless advocacy and his expertise in Neural Science, JC helped his

mother achieve a remarkable recovery, restoring her independence and dignity. Their journey is

chronicled in “Hope for Traumatic Brain Injury Survivors”. Having been personally wronged by

insurance malfeasance, JC understands firsthand the challenges faced by those navigating the

system, and he brings that insight, empathy, and determination to every case he handles.

Beyond his legal practice, JC provides pro bono services to individuals with disabilities through

the NSU Disability Inclusion and Advocacy Law (DIAL) Clinic and has offered legal assistance

in Family Law, Elder Law, Guardianship Law, Condominium Law, and Immigration Law. He is

particularly passionate about supporting TBI survivors worldwide, helping them navigate

recovery and regain hope as he did with his mother.

JC is also a devoted animal lover, sharing his life with seven fur babies: Petito, a teacup

chihuahua; Coco, a golden terrier; and five cats — Hades, Apollo, Britney, Athena, and

Artemisa. He enjoys rescuing and fostering pets, spending time with his family, and playing

video games on PS5 and Nintendo Switch.



JC is also a trained chef, and in his free time he enjoys creating original recipes across Italian,

Latin American, Asian, and French cuisines for his mother and friends — he especially loves

hosting dinner parties. He enjoys playing chess, reading poetry and literature and watching

science-fiction and horror films and shows.
