Clients credit his strategy-driven approach and effective use of the counterpunch to disrupt the status quo and drive to success. For health care industry clients, Anthony has developed an impressive track record tackling high-exposure matters—whether he’s defending multimillion-dollar emergency room services claims, alleged opioid diversion schemes, or bad faith medical malpractice insurance disputes. His collaborative approach to solving problems and unconventional approach to litigation enables him to think outside the box and spot the pressure points and opportunities he leverages to win. He also recognizes and understands the challenges in-house counsel face and outlines paths to achieving the client’s ultimate legal and business goals.
