Representing medical entities and professionals in grievance complaints proceedings

Davis, Grass, Goldstein & Finlay dedicates our entire Los Angeles-area practice to medical malpractice defense. Our attorneys draw upon a century and half of experience when aggressively representing professionals and facilities in civil lawsuits and California licensing proceedings. Healthcare providers have the right to defend themselves against claims of negligence, especially when their reputations and medical licenses are at stake. When you face allegations of wrongdoing, our firm advocates on your behalf and makes sure you are treated justly during administrative hearings.
