Achieving Success Together

The choice of a law firm to represent you in a healthcare fraud whistleblower case should be made very carefully. We hope that the following information, followed by your direct communication with one of our partners, will help to assist you in making a thoughtful and well-informed decision about what may be one of the most important endeavors of your life.

With Nolan Auerbach & White, what you see is what you get. In our firm, there is no delegation-no pushing off the work to younger or less experienced lawyers. Unlike some law firms, where at best there is little coordination between partners and at worst, an internal culture of competition between them- on our very select cases- your case – we work as a unit, united and strong. Once we accept your case, we fight tooth and nail – together, on your behalf.

Even more, we know the right people for each given case, and won’t hesitate to bring them in for a true team approach if we feel it will enhance your case. We have been prosecuting healthcare fraud for longer than most, and have created a large network of skilled and experienced healthcare fraud specialists.

No matter what your situation, we will endeavor to optimize it. Not every firm has the connections, resources and relationships to accomplish this, or are willing to do it-to share, to collaborate, to reach beyond our firm if and when necessary, to bring you the best possible team for your specific healthcare fraud qui tam case.
