Andrew C. Meyer, Jr.

Founding Partner

Recently honored with induction into the Inaugural Hall of Fame Class by Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly, Andrew C. Meyer, Jr. has consistently achieved record-setting verdicts and settlements, including one of the largest personal injury awards in Massachusetts’ history — $30 million, including interest, in a birth injury lawsuit.

Attorney Meyer’s extraordinary professional accomplishments and compelling influence on the field of medical malpractice also won him the distinction of being named one of "The 150 Most Influential Bostonians" by Boston magazine as well as “One of the Most Influential Lawyers in the State” by Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly. Martindale Hubbell’s well-respected national directory of lawyers has consistently awarded Meyer its highest rating for legal ability and ethical standards.

Meyer is currently an outspoken advocate and lead attorney in the historic class-action lawsuit representing 180 women and men against the former Boston rheumatologist, Derrick Todd, MD, accused by his patients of sexual assault and inappropriate medical exams.  

For 30 consecutive years, he has been selected for inclusion in the widely recognized The Best Lawyers in America — the universally accepted guide to legal excellence. He has the additional distinction of being listed in Super Lawyers each year since 2004. Selected Boston’s Medical Malpractice Lawyer of the Year in 2011 by Best Lawyers®, his cases are often cited for their novel and precedent-setting issues.

A Patient Safety Advocate

Inside and outside the courtroom, Meyer is a respected advocate for patient safety. Appointed to the Board of Advisors to the Tufts University School of Medicine and a member of the NCH Philanthropy Committee of the NCH Healthcare System Board of Trustees, Meyer brings a patient-centric perspective to these policy and decision making teams based on his decades of experience representing clients injured by medical errors.

A tireless voice for those whom the healthcare system has failed, Meyer pushes for medical education reform, supports transparency as a practiced value in medicine, and promotes increased consumer engagement in all aspects of health care. Meyer is regularly invited to address health care providers and those who represent health care providers in an effort to contribute to the betterment of the delivery of medical services and the safety of patients. These community engagements support Lubin & Meyer’s mission of improving healthcare for everyone by encouraging new approaches to the delivery of medicine, reducing risk, eliminating preventable harms and increasing positive outcomes.

A recent example of Meyer's outspoken advocacy and the important role his law firm plays as a check on the powerful local medical establishment: the 2019 exposé, "The Secret Truth About Boston Doctors," in Boston Magazine. The article describes Meyer and his firm as the consumer protection bureau known as a last line of defense against an often indifferent and sometimes dangerous medical regime. Through the courts, his team works to impose change on the medical community by requiring case settlements to include specific improvements to hospital policies and systems.
