Practice Areas

The Board of Medicine consists of physician, attorneys, and other members. You would naturally want representation by an attorney/physician who will speak on your behalf to like collegues. Other professional licensing boards are receptive to interacting with a like minded medical professional/attorney representing you.

Medical Contracts

 

      As physicians and healthcare providers, we understand medical terminology and medical concepts. However, our training never reviewed very practicle aspects of healthcare such as reviewing a medical employment contract, a partnership agreement, a lease, or the loopholes and pitfalls associated with vendor agreements. You could go it alone and take your chances on relying on your interpretation of the legal document you are handed. Alternatively, you might consider the assistance of not just any health law attorney, but one who is also a physician. Most health law firms consist of attorneys whose real training is based on real estate contracts or other non-medical models. Their staff attorneys are not physicians. They have do not have your prespective as a physician or healthcare provider.  The staff at Leslie Tar, Esq, LLC consist of health law attorneys who are healthcare providers. They think like you do and they know how your interests and know what you need to succeed as a healthcare provider.
