Litigation and Alternative Dispute Resolution

Overview
Garfunkel Wild’s Litigation and Alternative Dispute Resolution Group provides decades of experience, deep knowledge of the health care industry, and a winning track record in federal and state courts, agencies, and arbitration forums.  Our team of seasoned litigators includes former federal and state prosecutors.  We vigorously but professionally represent our clients in all stages of a case, from initial evaluation through trial and appeals.  Unlike other firms that may need to retain co-counsel or outside experts, our litigators have full access to Garfunkel Wild’s deep bench of lawyers with expertise in all areas of health care.
 
Victory in litigation is satisfying but may not be the most cost-efficient and practical goal.  We counsel our clients to help them minimize risk and position themselves to achieve the best results in bringing or defending claims.  We also assist our clients in settling disputes through negotiation and mediation.
