ABOUT US

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. 

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 nearly 50 years of hands-on litigation experience.  Howard Wollitz is a recognized Super Lawyer in California, and Richard Williams is a former adjunct professor of insurance law at Pepperdine School of Law.  Williams and Wollitz together have a history which dates back to their law school days at UCLA Law where they served together on the Board of Editors of the UCLA Law Review.  They have practiced together in prior law firm settings for decades. 

 The world of healthcare provider insurance coverage is changing; and we represent clients on the cutting edge. We are filing insurance recovery and/or tort actions on behalf of residential mental health and addiction treatment centers. We represent clients in COVID testing insurance recovery, and we are on the forefront in pursuing insurance claims involving transgender reassignment healthcare provider services.  All of this is brand new in law -- we are creating the rules as we go forward with new cases in these areas.  

We are experts in the submittal and processing of pre-litigation appeals for unpaid and underpaid healthcare claims.  Our experience is that 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 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.  

Contact us for a free initial consultation.  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 their 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.
