Mikes practice runs the gamut:

• Mike litigates all manner of cases in federal, state, and arbitral forums, including class actions, payor-provider disputes, disputes with state and federal governments, and other complex commercial matters;
• Mike handles high stakes government and internal investigations, with particular experience in cases involving the False Claims Act and allegations of fraud, waste, or abuse; and
• Mike advises on a range of regulatory issues and has extensive knowledge of programs such as Medicare Advantage, Medicaid Managed Care, Affordable Care Act exchanges, and commercial health plans.

With nearly two decades of practice in the health care industry, Mike knows the complex challenges facing health care companies, and he works hard to give practical advice and advocacy that balances legal risks against business needs.

Goldstein Memorial Award for his "use of intelligence, creativity, and resourcefulness in defending criminal clients."

For his work, Mike received the Palmetto Patriot Award in 2006 for service to the state of South Carolina and the South Carolina National Guard.  Mike also served as a law clerk in the Federal Major Crimes Division of U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia.
