Birmingham Healthcare Fraud Lawyer

Healthcare fraud is considered a white-collar crime. Your practice, livelihood, and professional reputation are at stake if you’ve been charged with this serious offense. Contact our Birmingham healthcare fraud lawyer at Jaffe, Hanle, Whisonant & Knight, P.C at (205) 930-9800 to discuss your case. 

Further, those found guilty can face up to 10 years in prison if sums over $2,500 were involved or if a patient was injured. Even without prison time, the fines and fees can be crippling to medical professionals and their practices. We defend clients who have been charged with: 

Forging or selling prescription medications

Modifying medical records

Improper reporting of diagnoses

Billing for unperformed services

Fraudulent Medicare or Medicaid claims

And more

As compassionate and aggressive attorneys, we understand that medical professionals make mistakes, and we fight to protect your future. Additionally, we are familiar with the healthcare world and will not have to learn the specifics of the billing and coding you deal with daily.

How We Help

The moment you are approached by an investigator, get in touch with an attorney. Remember your 5th amendment rights and let a lawyer speak for you. Our firm will talk to investigators and provide you with our legal insight and advice.

Still, we allow you to make all the important decisions regarding your case, like whether or not to accept a plea, go to trial, and take the stand. While we help you guide your own defense, we will also develop legal strategies and conduct private investigations by examining financial records, gathering testimonies, and exploring other evidence. Doing so will help us anticipate all outcomes and help you obtain the best one.
