Providing Representation Throughout Illinois
Our attorneys have tried cases in state and federal court all over Illinois. We have appeared in over 20 counties in Illinois, representing our clients in a number of different legal and equitable disputes. Our lawyers have extensive appellate court experience and have argued before the Illinois Supreme Court and all five Illinois Appellate Court Districts.

We concentrate our services on matters involving Illinois medical license, Illinois doctor's license, or physician licenses in IL, or other issues that require an attorney.

Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services (formerly the Illinois Department of Public Aid):

We represent physicians in all Illinois medical license matters before the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services (IDHFS), including preparing physicians for peer review appearances before the Medical Quality Review Committee of IDHFS. We also defend physicians in administrative hearings where IDHFS seeks to terminate or suspend the physicians participation in the Medical Assistance Program, whether based upon audit or peer review. Additionally, we represent pharmacists, laboratories, and nursing homes in IDHFS compliance audits and physicians, laboratories, dentists, and pharmacists who are the subject of criminal investigations for alleged Medicaid fraud.

Illinois Division of Professional Regulation:

The Illinois Division of Professional Regulation administers state laws that govern the licensure and discipline of professional and occupational groups. Our services for health care providers licensed by the Illinois Division of Professional Regulation includes medical doctors, osteopathic physicians, chiropractors, dentists, optometrists, podiatrists, pharmacists, nurses, and physical therapists. Our practice concentrates on Illinois medical licensees in pre-licensing and Illinois medical license disciplinary matters. We are frequently called upon to represent health care licensees seeking licensure in their respective professions. Most often, we represent individuals under investigation by the Illinois Division of Professional Regulation regarding their Illinois doctor's license, Illinois chiropractic license, or other medical license in Illinois. We have considerable experience negotiating consent settlement orders for physician or other health care provider licenses. In instances where settlement is not possible, we vigorously represent our clients at all levels of the contested hearing process where the Illinois Division of Professional Regulation is seeking to suspend or revoke the professional's license.

Hospital Privilege Matters:
We represent physicians in due process hearings regarding alleged violations of hospital or medical staff by-laws. From time to time, we are called upon to counsel hospital investigative committees on due process investigations and hearings concerning physicians.

Professional Organizations, Societies, HMO'S and PPO'S:
In this area, we represent physicians whose membership in professional organizations and societies is challenged for an alleged violation of organization by-laws. We also represent physicians whose participation in HMOs and PPOs is challenged.

Illinois Department of Public Health:
We represent nursing homes and medical laboratories in all licensing and Medicaid certification disputes, as well as any complaint investigations initiated by the agency. Additionally, we represent asbestos removal contractors seeking admission to Public Health's approved list of contractors for public sector work.

Health Facilities Planning Board:
We represent nursing homes before this entity concerning informal appearances before the Board and in contested hearings on Notices of Intent to Deny Applications for issuance of Certificates of Need.

Medical/Legal Consultations:
We are often called upon to resolve disputes amongst and between physicians and we counsel physicians on a wide range of topics, including negotiating and drafting employment agreements, advising with regard to permissible advertising, assistance in complying with HIPAA, or other Illinois physician license concerns.
