About Us

MINA HAKAKIAN heads our healthcare provider legal team.  In addition to insurance coverage and healthcare, our lawyers have decades of expertise in business and corporate litigation, elder abuse law, the law of trusts and estates, and personal injury litigation.  We understand how to achieve successful results for our clients in a wide variety of litigation settings.  

WILLIAMS WOLLITZ HAKAKIAN PC is a full-service Los Angeles law firm whose two name attorneys each have over 50 years of hands-on litigation experience.  

HOWARD WOLLITZ has decades of legal experience with a specialty in insurance coverage and insurance bad faith.  He has counseled commercial insurers as well as lawyer and doctor professional liability insurers on all types of coverage issues, bad faith avoidance, and bad faith defense. 

We are experts in the submittal and processing of pre-litigation appeals for unpaid and underpaid healthcare claims.  Our experience is that insurance claim administrators will sometimes pay without being sued if we put together a credible and properly framed appeal during the early stages of the provider claim submittal process.  We work closely with healthcare provider billing service entities to ensure that provider claims are timely and properly submitted to the healthcare plan and its claim administration analysts. 

Our healthcare legal team represents surgeons, ambulatory surgery centers and other healthcare providers in benefits recovery actions in state and federal courts.  This sort of lawsuit is often the only vehicle that healthcare providers have available to them if they want to be properly paid for their services. 

HOWARD WOLLITZ is a Martindale-Hubbell “AV” rated practitioner, and has been recognized from 2017 to 2022 as a Super Lawyer. 

Our team are experts in not only business law and healthcare law, but also general litigation as well.  We can help you understand the legal merits of your potential case and your options going forward. 

Contact us for a free initial consultation.  If your case is viable, our team will reach out to you to schedule a ZOOM or phone conference call.  We are happy to address client questions and go through the law as it might be applied to your unique circumstances.  If we commit to take a plaintiff case on a contingency fee basis - - and often we will - - the law firm only gets paid if there is a recovery for you.
