Mark brings deep experience with healthcare law and an unswerving commitment to clients’ success to his representation of healthcare providers.
When clients face compliance and regulatory challenges, Mark draws on the insights he gained while working with the Texas Attorney General’s Office and the Texas Department of Human Services. As an Assistant Attorney General, he prosecuted several high-profile kickback cases and numerous nursing home abuse and neglect cases. And as an Assistant Commissioner of the Texas Department of Human Services, Mark supervised long-term care regulatory activities for Texas and helped usher in the current regulatory framework for skilled nursing facilities.
This background has proved invaluable as Mark guides healthcare providers through government investigations and administrative appeals, as well as complex regulatory matters. In addition to counseling providers on such issues as the Stark Law, the Anti-kickback statute, and state and federal False Claims Acts, Mark provides advice on mergers, acquisitions and other healthcare transactions.
In all cases, Mark marshals unassailable research, compelling arguments and skillful negotiations to meet clients’ needs.
Mark is board certified in health law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization.
