Health Care Investigations & Litigation

When a client faces litigation or possible litigation, the health care knowledge and experience of the attorneys at The Health Law Partners, P.C., is invaluable. Our attorneys provide clients with an advantage of knowing how to effectively approach and address numerous issues unique to the medical field to achieve the desired result during a health care investigation. Having the experience of being on many sides of litigation due to their diverse client base allows our attorneys the ability to offer unique approaches to their clients’ needs. The attorneys at The Health Law Partners, P.C., attempt to avoid litigation when possible due to the high costs (both financial and time) and uncertainty inherently associated with litigation. However, where no reasonable alternatives are available, our staff’s experience in administrative law hearings (e.g., State licensing actions), quasi-judicial proceedings (e.g., hospital fair hearings, third party payor appellate hearings, and binding arbitrations), judicial proceedings (e.g., State and Federal court litigation), and alternative dispute resolution (ADR) (e.g., mediation and non-binding arbitration), combined with their unique knowledge and experience in the health care field, provide an unparalleled formula for success.

The attorneys at The Health Law Partners, P.C., have represented clients in numerous pre- and post-litigation and health care investigation matters, using both their expertise in health care-related legal issues and successful litigation techniques for effective results. We pride ourselves on our ability to resolve matters as cost-effectively as possible while managing client expectations during the entire health care investigation process.
