We have a proven track record defending health care professionals in the area of medical professional liability in both state and federal courts throughout Virginia and the District of Columbia. We have represented physicians in every medical specialty, as well as dentists, nurses, allied health providers, and hospitals of all types and sizes, and have extensive experience with mediation and other forms of alternative dispute resolution.

We advise health care professionals and entities on risk management issues to proactively address potential risks. Our goal is to prevent a claim from arising. Our attorneys regularly present continuing education lectures to hospital and physician practice risk managers, medical staff and other health care audiences. These presentations cover a wide variety of topics, including documentation, the use of electronic medical records, claim avoidance and lessons learned from litigated cases. We also provide individual risk management counseling and advice.

We defend physicians and other health care providers in professional regulatory investigations before the Virginia Department of Health Professions and the Boards of Medicine in Virginia and the District of Columbia. We represent health care providers before the Boards of Medicine, Dentistry, Psychology, Optometry, and Nursing. We also represent health care providers in peer review investigations and various credentialing matters. We recognize that your license is your livelihood.
