Targeting healthcare fraud has become an important enforcement initiative for the current Department of Justice because of the massive funds flowing into our public and private health care systems. We have substantial experience both in the prosecution of massive Medicare/Medicaid fraud cases and in the defense of these highly complex and technical cases. For instance, Our notable successes in this area include Mr. Gillen's obtaining a directed verdict of acquittal for a corporate client in a massive Medicaid/FDA prosecution, United States v. Interland, in the Southern District of Georgia in 2006 and Mr. Withers' securing of First Offender treatment with only a fine and no imprisonment or probation for a licensed professional charged with Medicare Fraud in the Superior Court of Chatham County, Georgia in 2005.

We have represented clients who are executives in the health care industry, including home health, biologics, infusion therapy, physicians and hospitals.

Due to the massive federal funding flooding into the health care industry, the government has targeted the industry as a whole for intense scrutiny for fraud, waste and abuse. We have represented clients charged with upcoding, fraudulent billing on cost reports, billing for services not rendered, and kickbacks and self referrals.

Moreover, Mr. Gillen is among the leading defense attorneys in the nation in the growing arena of online pharmaceutical sales prosecutions.
