Healthcare Prosecutions

A large part of my prac­tice con­sists of han­dling pros­e­cu­tions aris­ing from the health­care field. In these cases my clients are health­care providers, such as doc­tors, nurses and health­care busi­nesses. These cases are typ­i­cally very com­plex, often involv­ing inter­pre­ta­tion of gov­ern­ment regulations.

Some exam­ples of crim­i­nal pros­e­cu­tions in the health­care field are: MediCal/MediCare fraud, abuse alle­ga­tions and ille­gal dis­tri­b­u­tion of con­trolled sub­stances (e.g., steroids and con­trolled sub­stance analogues).

I have expe­ri­ence rep­re­sent­ing health­care providers, and work with the objec­tive of pre­serv­ing a practitioner’s license or cer­ti­fi­ca­tion. Often, I work in con­junc­tion with coun­sel han­dling license dis­ci­pli­nary proceedings.
