Healthcare Fraud Law Firm Serving Clients Nationwide
The principal of Newman Litigation PLLC, Will Newman, has represented clients in numerous healthcare fraud investigations. These cases involve federal statutes and regulations that give the government broad powers to investigate and charge people crimes arising from reimbursements paid by Medicaid, Medicare, and other federal programs.
People often learn about these investigations when an investigator visits them or someone they work with to ask for information. Or sometimes, the government may send a civil investigative demand or a grand jury subpoena. These documents indicate that the government is investigating a healthcare fraud matter and may require responses by a certain deadline. Compliance could be mandatory, with serious legal consequences if they are ignored or not treated properly. If any of those things happen, it is very important to contact a lawyer with healthcare fraud experience right away.
Many people are unaware that they risk criminal liability for their business with these programs, and so a big part of Will’s work is advising clients about how the laws work. Even people who are not charged with crimes may need to respond to complex requests for documents and information, and Will has experience guiding clients through the process from beginning to end.
Will uses his experience as a litigator to advise clients on how to respond to fraud allegations and challenge them in court. He also uses his experience in previous investigations to help clients develop a strategy for obtaining the best outcome in a healthcare fraud investigation.
In particular, Will has defended clients accused of healthcare fraud in federal courts in New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Washington, DC, and helped persuade prosecutors to reach favorable results. Among others, he has represented:
* A business owner accused of defrauding a covid-relief program on Long Island
* A doctor accused of defrauding medicare in Philadelphia
* An owner of a home care business accused of defrauding a government health program in New Mexico
* A pharmacy owner accused of defrauding Medicare in New York City
