Welcome

The Firm

The Florida Healthcare Law Firm provides a wide variety of legal services to physicians, medical practices and many healthcare businesses such as medical staffs, surgery centers, imaging centers, and home health agencies.

The Mission

The Florida Healthcare Law Firm isn't just a "big firm alternative" or just another "boutique." We're not offering a better catch phrase or a clever name. We are redefining the way law firms represent physicians and other healthcare businesses. We have addressed and improved every deficiency clients often find in law firms – a lack of transparency, uncertain or nickel & dime pricing, poor communication, and inexperienced lawyers who clients end up paying just to learn the basics. Instead, you will find the following at the Florida Healthcare Law Firm:

• All new clients receive a free initial consult to determine if what you need is something we can help you with. We don't charge just to see if we can help you.
• Most initial meetings are by phone to minimize the impact on everyone. Technology allows us to easily assess your needs and advise you. We seldom find it necessary to meet in person with our clients all over the State. Our objective is to provide you what you need in the most efficient and cost effective way.
• Everyday charges like faxes, copies, routine administrative phone calls, administrative fees, etc. are on us.
• Flat Fee Pricing Arrangements are available for nearly all matters.
• Special rates for medical students, residents and fellows.
• Our team consists of only experienced lawyers who understand your issues. You are not paying new lawyers to learn the basics.
• Accountability, transparency and accessibility are the fundamentals of our firm.

It Is Personal

Over the years, phrases in business like "nothing personal" or "it's just business" have become commonplace. We think those sayings are simply wrong. We take what we do personally and we treat you how we want to be treated. We haven't forgotten our basic values and we don't play games with you. Everyone at the Florida Healthcare Law firm is committed to restoring common sense and basic values to the practice of law. Simply put, we are committed to doing the "right thing." If you look at our "Core Values" and "Best Practices" we think you'll agree that the ideas and expectations set forth are refreshing. At the Florida Healthcare Law Firm, we believe in what we do. And it IS personal.

The History

The firm was founded by Jeffrey L. Cohen, a Florida board certified healthcare attorney with over 23 years of healthcare law experience and is comprised of highly experienced attorneys who bring knowledge and practical advice to our diverse group of clients. Thank you for being an important member of the medical and healthcare community. We look forward to working with you.
