Our medical practice faced a significant crisis when a third-party vendor experienced a data breach, potentially exposing sensitive patient information. The regulatory and reputational risks were immense. We engaged Valerie Breslin Montague at Nixon Peabody based on a colleague's strong recommendation, specifically noting her recognition in Health Care Law and Privacy. Valerie was immediately strategic and calming. Her deep knowledge of both healthcare regulations and data security law was evident from our first meeting. She deftly navigated the notification requirements to HHS and affected patients, managed communications with the vendor, and helped us implement stronger compliance protocols. While her expertise is unquestionable—and her Lawyer of the Year award is clearly well-deserved—there were a few instances where follow-up emails took a day or two longer than expected during less critical phases. That said, her overall counsel was invaluable. She transformed a potentially devastating situation into a managed, corrective process. We emerged more secure and informed. I would confidently recommend her for any healthcare entity facing complex legal and privacy challenges.
