  • New York State Office of the Medicaid Inspector General
  • Medicaid Fraud Control Unit in the New York State Attorney General’s Office

We also assist clients with effective self-disclosures at the state and federal levels, and offer advice and training on steps to take upon receipt of a regulatory inquiry.

Our firm offers clients a unique skill set in that we have experience in representing both whistleblowers (plaintiffs) and defendants in False Claims Act litigation. From this unique perspective, we are able to provide our clients with effective counsel and sound experience.

We also represent providers and patients in New York State Supreme Court proceedings where a party seeks appointment of a guardian to make health care decisions for a patient or seeks an order to enforce a disputed advanced directive.
