These physician-attorneys are available to provide independent representation to all physicians in medical malpractice actions (including uninsured or underinsured physicians).

Furthermore, the physician-attorneys provide representation and consultation to all physicians in state board actions, corporate considerations, contract negotiations, representations in cases of Medicare (or other third-party payer) audits, recoupments or fraud actions.
