Litigation Support

Litigation Support for Physicians

Physicians and related healthcare entities may encounter disputes, and in such instances, I am often called upon to provide support in matters related to economic and accounting issues. Court cases frequently involve intricate financial matters that can have adverse effects on healthcare entities, including physicians and their practices. My role involves assisting them in preparing for legal proceedings, which may entail extensive hours devoted to compiling and analyzing accounting, financial, statistical, and economic information.
