Attorney-client privilege is a legal concept that protects confidential communications between healthcare providers or facilities and their attorneys. This protection ensures that healthcare clients can speak openly with their legal counsel without fear of these discussions being disclosed.

Healthcare law fees vary based on case complexity, attorney experience, and required services. We offer flexible fee arrangements including hourly rates for discrete matters, monthly retainers for ongoing counsel, and fixed fees for specific regulatory compliance projects. Contact us for a consultation to discuss your specific needs and receive a tailored cost estimate.

We provide proactive compliance audits, develop policies and procedures, conduct staff training, and represent clients during investigations to mitigate potential penalties and sanctions.
How do healthcare data privacy laws affect my practice?
Healthcare data privacy laws like HIPAA establish strict standards for protecting patient information.
