Facts: AG hired Bertolino LLP to defend her against a complaint filed with the Board by a patient. The patient made unfounded allegations that AG had committed malpractice and failed to provide the patient with information about her medical procedure and acquire her informed consent. The baseless complaint threatened to damage AG’s professional reputation and employment, expose her to potential discipline from the Board and harm her livelihood.
Outcome: Bertolino LLP evaluated the client’s case, and we gathered the medical documentation and witness testimony necessary to dispute the meritless complaint and show the Board why the allegations had to be dismissed promptly. We developed a well-written response showing how these claims lacked any merit and leveraged key documentation and witness affidavits in support of our argument. We advocated aggressively on the client’s behalf to demonstrate the complaint was baseless and needed to be dismissed. The Board evaluated the response and agreed to dismiss the complaint completely and took no disciplinary action against our client’s license. This allowed her to return her focus to practicing medicine, keeping her professional reputation and livelihood intact.
