Physician Practice Services

Lance LoRusso has successfully provided legal representation to physicians and healthcare systems for many years. He understands the challenges physicians face when involved in a legal matter and is committed to obtaining the best results for his clients. His commitment to the medical profession is personal, and he understands the effect of litigation on physicians and their practices. Any legal issue places a tremendous strain on precious resources. The success of a practice depends upon the ability of the physicians and other practitioners to maximize their time with their patients. Lance focuses on the most effective path toward the best outcome possible, and his track record for client satisfaction speaks for itself. The LoRusso Law Firm offers the following services to both employed and independent physicians:
	24-hour availability and after-hours response Emergencies occur at all hours. Some issues cannot wait until 9:00 the next morning.
	Independent representation of physicians and other professionals in complex litigation There are times when it is best to have an attorney who answers only to you and looks out for your interests.
	Assist with deposition and trial scheduling to keep doctors and staff in the office during business hours For most physicians, a deposition can disrupt patient scheduling and affect the financial bottom line of the practice. By working with the lawyer involved in the case, the LoRusso Law Firm can reschedule the deposition to a time and place that is convenient for the physician.
	Representation before state licensing boards Anyone can file a complaint with the state licensing boards such as the Georgia Composite State Board of Medical Examiners. Even if the complaint is unfounded, the outcome can cause a serious disruption in your practice if you do not respond appropriately. We take each complaint seriously and help physicians and other professionals present their side to the board.
	Deposition and trial preparation Physicians are often asked or compelled to testify even though their care and treatment has not been questioned. Many physicians are reluctant to give testimony even though they are not the targets of a lawsuit. Physicians are often reluctant to contact their medical malpractice insurer even though they would like representation during the deposition to protect their rights. This is especially critical when the statute of limitations has not yet expired with regard to the care and treatment you provided. By hiring the LoRusso Law Firm, you can protect your interests and those of your practice without affecting your rating with your liability insurance carrier.
	Response to subpoenas and deposition notices Privacy laws and legal privileges create a complicated web of decisions for a physician called upon to produce documents and provide testimony. The LoRusso Law Firm is available to assist your practice with these decisions to ensure that your release of documents and information complies with the law without exposing you and your practice to liability.
	Strong emphasis on litigation prevention through education, staff training, policy review and risk management Litigation is expensive in terms of both a loss of financial resources and lost productivity. Lance has been teaching medical professionals how to avoid liability, how to adapt practices to limit exposure and how to respond effectively to a lawsuit for many years. His classes are designed to educate, not frighten. In this uncertain climate of rising insurance premiums and highly publicized jury verdicts against physicians, prevention and education form the base of your defense. The most effective defense starts long before someone files a lawsuit.
