Professional Licensure:

Edie represents health care professionals in administrative matters before regulatory agencies in New York and Pennsylvania. Licensing boards have the authority and the obligation to investigate allegations of professional misconduct. Such investigations can result in discipline on one's license to practice. Some matters can be resolved with negotiation or informal settlement conferences, while others require formal hearings. Final orders of discipline are public information and cause inclusion in the National Practitioner Data Bank. Many collateral issues can arise from licensure discipline, such as exclusion from participation in state or federal programs and reciprocal enforcement in other states in which the licensee has been granted a professional license.

Professional Malpractice:

Professional malpractice is a specific type of professional negligence in which the licensed professional is accused of departing from the acceptable standards of practice. Expert witnesses are required to testify as to the standard of practice, the accused's departure therefrom, and the causal link between the defendant's departure and the patient's harm. Experts are also required to determine the extent of injuries, the costs of tending to those injuries, and the amount of payment that would be required to compensate the patient for those damages. It is a highly-complex area of the law and professionals accused of malpractice must be represented by skilled attorneys with extensive experience in the field.
