Providing health care to a community is a noble pursuit and essential for the well-being of society. Successfully starting, maintaining, and growing a health practice requires knowledgeable and effective legal counsel to help a practice avoid regulatory pitfalls relevant to the type of health care a provider furnishes or is considering, assert its rights with respect to predatory behavior that has become all too common among third-party payers.
We counsel hospitals and other health care providers on patient care issues, such as informed consent, privacy and other patient rights and ethics issues. We have experience drafting and reviewing consent and release documents and are familiar with patient bills of rights.
We also provide legal advice on all manner of issues directly impacting the delivery of clinical services to ensure quality of care and patient safety. For example, we frequently counsel our clients on health care professional scope of practice, medical record documentation, emergency protocols, risk management concerns.

Health care providers of all types function in a high-risk regulatory environment, and are common targets of governmental investigations as regulators and legislators continue to prioritize enforcement actions against perceived provider fraud and abuse.
Trevor has devoted much of his career to advising health care systems in litigation, regulatory and compliance matters, internal compliance, and government investigation. He has substantial experience helping providers navigate investigations coordinated through numerous federal and state enforcement agencies, including Main Justice, United States Attorney Offices, the Office of Inspector General, the Federal Bureau of Investigations, and State counterparts. He has successfully defended physicians and practices from substantial claims of overpayments, fraud and abuse, and professional misconduct.
He has served as general outside counsel and compliance counsel for a diverse range of health care providers and is well-versed with the rules and requirements necessary for billing and receiving payment from Medicare, Medicaid, and private payors. He works with health care providers to ensure that current and prospective operations, billing practices, and documentation of services comply with state and federal requirements to receive and retain payment. Further, he has significant experience representing providers seeking payment for their services from managed care, government, and private pay sources.
Despite his experience representing health care providers, Trevor is a generalist at heart. He enjoys and routinely works with clients in need of advice and representation with respect to business and real estate transactions, business operations, and contract and tort litigation.
