Hear From Our Clients

Paul Walker went above and beyond to help me with my legal dilemma. As a physician, I especially appreciated his ability to understand the unique position we are in in relation to our community reputation. He was always available and always reasonable.

Robert M.

I cannot recommend Paul Walker enough. He gave consistently excellent advice on my case and got it easily dismissed. And he happens to be a super guy in addition to a great attorney. Highly recommend.

James W.

Paul helped me navigate one of the toughest times of my professional life. He truly is great at what he does and is very familiar with the inner workings of CPH and OPMC. Not only is he an exceptional lawyer, but he is a great person. He was dedicated to my situation, and knew that sometimes all I really needed was a conversation and his reassurance. He was readily available, and we often spoke after hours and on weekends when necessary. I highly recommend him. Thanks, Paul!

Professional Medical Conduct Defense: OPMC and OPD

Our experienced medical license defense attorneys focus on representing physicians in a wide variety of investigations and disciplinary proceedings commenced by the Office of Professional Medical Conduct (OPMC), a branch of the Department of Health of the State of New York. These are serious matters as the license of the physician is often in jeopardy. This is equally true regarding the representation of nurses, nurse practitioners, physical therapists and all other licensees governed by the Department of Education, the Office of Professional Discipline (OPD).

Our firm represents hospitals and physicians from all specialties in actions involving allegations of medical malpractice. We also represent dentists, podiatrists, physician assistants, nurses, physical therapists and many other kinds of health care professionals who face allegations of medical malpractice.

HMO / Medicare / Medicaid Audit Protection Lawyers

HMO’s and the government are routinely auditing physician billing records in an attempt to recover money paid. If you are audited, get a legal team on your side to challenge the validity of the audit. This will put you in the best position to minimize the damage or avoid it altogether.

Being named as a defendant in a medical malpractice lawsuit is never something that a doctor wants to endure. In the usual case, the physician sends the lawsuit papers to his or her insurance company, and a medical defense attorney is provided. However, if you do not have medical malpractice insurance, then you must retain and pay for your own legal defense. Walker Medical Law has decades of experience representing physicians in this situation.
