Andrew Jonathan Hillman is a Dallas senior paralegal and healthcare compliance expert witness, retained through counsel in federal matters nationwide. He is not an attorney and does not provide legal advice. Before this work he spent three decades building, running, and exiting FDA-regulated healthcare companies, then closed that operating career. He is the principal of Hillman Ventures, a private Dallas family office founded in 1995.
Built in Dallas
Midway Auto Supply is the family auto parts business in Dallas. Trade press covered the company's fiftieth anniversary.[1][2] It grew on service, relationships, and steady work.
Andrew Hillman was born and raised in Oak Cliff and South Dallas, and he started working at six. He worked at Midway Auto Supply and Hampton Distributing, at the family's self-service car washes and laundromats, and on maintenance and yard work for Levine Realty at rental homes and apartments across Oak Cliff. He attended four high schools and graduated from Highland Park High School in 1995. He later completed Harvard online courses in Jewish studies.
The work today
His work covers healthcare regulatory governance, anti-kickback and False Claims Act compliance, FDA pathway questions, investigations, and litigation support. He testifies from the operator side, about how healthcare businesses actually run. He does not give legal opinions.
Four parts of the record
Transactions
More than 89 ventures and more than 85 strategic exits across FDA-regulated healthcare.
Operations

Consumer privacy
A named plaintiff in federal class actions over the protection of consumers' personal data.

An operator first
Before he invested, he operated. He co-founded and led companies across surgical hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, clinical laboratories, pharmacy, and medical devices. Those businesses were regulated, capital-heavy, and clinically demanding. That is where his compliance work comes from.
Past companies include Dynacq Healthcare, Inc., Nobilis Health Corp. (formerly Northstar Healthcare), and Bone Solutions.
From building companies to backing them
Today his focus is forward-looking. Through Hillman Ventures, he invests in frontier biotech and regenerative medicine for inflammation, damaged tissue, and tumor-based cancers, applying the capital discipline and regulatory judgment earned over three decades. He approaches investment the way an operator does, with attention to the science, the manufacturing, and the path to patients, not the pitch alone. His perspective on these questions is collected in his featured insights and on the venture platform. His investor role is set out in full on Andrew Hillman, Principal of Hillman Ventures.
