A consummate professional who navigated complex healthcare regulations with precision

Our healthcare organization faced a daunting regulatory compliance investigation that threatened significant penalties and operational disruption. We were referred to Michael Bittman at Nelson Mullins, and it was the best decision we could have made. From our first meeting, his deep, 43-year reservoir of knowledge in health care law was immediately apparent. He didn't just recite statutes; he explained the practical implications and historical enforcement trends in a way that was both comprehensive and understandable. His background, including his recent 'Lawyer of the Year' recognitions in Orlando, was not just a credential on paper—it translated directly into a strategic advantage. Michael and his team meticulously dissected the agency's claims, crafted a nuanced response that addressed both the letter and spirit of the regulations, and represented us with unwavering professionalism in all communications. The result was a favorable resolution that avoided litigation and allowed us to implement corrective measures without crippling fines. His guidance from the Georgetown and Catholic University-educated foundation through decades of practice gave us immense confidence. Michael is more than an attorney; he is a true counselor who protects his clients' interests with formidable expertise and genuine care.
