Our lengthy record of results includes recoveries for victims of true malpractice as well as successful defense of doctors and nurses who did nothing wrong. We can negotiate a discreet resolution on your behalf or vigorously defend you in hearings and administrative appeals.
Qualified Counsel For Investigations And Disciplinary Proceedings
We advise and represent medical personnel in investigations conducted by the Office of Professional Medical Conduct and the Office of Medical Examiners and in licensure proceedings before the Board of Medicine and Board of Nursing.
We help clients respond to any allegation or complaint:
- Charges of incompetence or negligence
- Charges of patient neglect

Depending on the nature of the offense and the circumstances, sanctions might include huge fines, an official reprimand on your record, temporary suspension and/or permanent revocation of one’s license to practice medicine in New Jersey and/or New York. The outcome or findings of these proceedings could also lead to a civil lawsuit for medical malpractice or wrongful death or even criminal prosecution.
