Healthcare Fraud, FDA and Online Pharmacy Prosecutions

Healthcare fraud is an initiative with the current Department of Justice because of the ever-increasing amount of funds going to public and private healthcare. Because of the massive federal funding in the health care industry, the government has targeted the industry as a whole for fraud, waste, and abuse scrutiny. Mr. Withers has substantial experience both in the prosecution of massive Medicare/Medicaid fraud cases and in the defense of these highly complex and technical cases. Notable success in this area includes, Mr. Withers’ securing of First Offender treatment with only a fine and no imprisonment or probation for a psychologist charged with Medicare Fraud in the Superior Court of Chatham County, Georgia.

Mr. Withers has represented both individual professionals and executives in the health care industry as well as entities, including physicians, chiropractors, hospitals, clinics and pharmacies.
