Professional Licensing of Vincent J. LaBarbera, Jr. of Santa Ana, CA

Licensing issues before the various governing medical boards, often involve medical negligence and/or malpractice. Mr. LaBarbera has represented physicians in this arena for over 20 years.

Increasingly, many more medical licensing questions involve MediCal/Medicare billing fraud, domestic violence, self prescribing of drugs, steroid and/or alcohol use, inappropriate sexual contact with patients and other “lifestyle issues”. Cases involving these questions can be complex and usually involve collateral consequences, such as subsequent criminal or civil actions separate and apart from the original board accusation. Additionally, a board accusation or investigation will usually require representation before the various peer review committees associated with insurance carriers and hospitals a doctor has privileges with. The potential negative impact a board investigation may have with these relationships can be devastating to a physician's practice.

The agencies and boards Mr. LaBarbera frequently practices before include: California Medical Board California Board of Optometry Dental Board of California California Department of Real Estate California Department of Consumer Affairs Securities and Exchange Commission
