I've reviewed more than 800 medical provider contracts in my career. I can help address nuances in medical employment contracts that many attorneys may not even recognize. I can also help resolve issues after a contract has been signed or if an agreement is going to be terminated. I can even tell you what employers to avoid.

I can also help to create themes in a case and lines of questioning for medical providers or experts. Have an issue with a bill for medical services? I can help resolve it.
I can help healthcare professionals navigate the complexities of medical licensing in Illinois.
