Business and Healthcare Litigation

gavelAbout half of Dr. Steinberg's law practice is in the areas of litigation and trial practice, generally focusing on business and healthcare litigation. "Business Litigation" is a broad area that encompasses the ordinary disputes that arise in business contexts such as contracts and breach of contracts, claims of fraud, misappropriation of trade secrets, non-compete agreements, and related business issues. "Healthcare litigation" addresses some of the unique situations which arise involving billing and coding, compliance with third party and CMS regulations, litigation against third party payers (vision care plans and insurance companies) and related topics.
