A STRONG DEFENSE REQUIRES BUILDING A STRONG OFFENSE
To strategically counteract the government’s investigation, we conduct our own. Our attorneys’ extensive medical-legal background provides the powerful breadth of knowledge and experience necessary to flesh out the facts and develop a persuasive defense. Mr. Miller has more than 26 years of experience successfully trying complex medical malpractice claims and representing clients in administrative hearings. Mr. Miller worked as a registered nurse, hospital administrator, and nursing home administrator before he began his career as a defense attorney more than 26 years ago. It is the skill and acumen of a team of experienced attorneys that has made Sholes & Miller into a sought after healthcare industry law firm.
Once our investigation is complete, we present our findings to the OPMC investigator in an attempt to terminate the proceeding before it reaches trial. In the event an administrative hearing is held, we skillfully craft a case to refute the charges or obtain reduction of the possible penalties.
