About Andrew
Andrew Lillywhite earned his J.D. from Gonzaga University School of Law. He completed the program that prepared him for practice and entered the legal profession in Utah. His academic record focused on the study of litigation, procedure, and statutory analysis, subjects that continue to shape his work as an attorney.
After law school, Lillywhite became licensed to practice in Utah. He joined Hillyard, Anderson & Olsen, P.C., where he has worked on matters arising under state law and in state courts. His practice at the firm places him in a daily role advising clients, drafting pleadings and motions, and appearing in hearings. He describes the practice as detail-oriented and procedural, a setting where an eye for deadlines and clarity in written advocacy matter.
Colleagues and opposing counsel see Lillywhite as a pragmatic lawyer who prefers direct problem solving over rhetorical flourish. He approaches each file by identifying the legal questions, mapping out deadlines and obligations, and then setting a course that balances risk and cost. That methodical approach informs how he prepares clients for litigation and how he negotiates on their behalf.
Lillywhite’s background at Gonzaga exposed him to both appellate work and trial advocacy. Those experiences inform how he evaluates cases today. He pays attention to procedural posture and potential avenues for relief, and he works to put clients in a position to make informed decisions about settlement or trial. He also spends time keeping current on changes in Utah statutes and court rules that affect the matters he handles.
Outside the courtroom, his work at Hillyard, Anderson & Olsen, P.C. involves collaboration with other attorneys at the firm and management of case-related tasks. He coordinates discovery, prepares exhibits, and oversees the logistical aspects of preparing a matter for hearing. Clients describe him as accessible and responsive; he aims to explain legal questions in straightforward terms rather than jargon.
Lillywhite remains based in Utah and continues to practice at Hillyard, Anderson & Olsen, P.C. He currently focuses his practice on representing clients in matters governed by Utah law at the firm.
