Extensive Experience With State and Federal Agencies
Having an attorney with the right experience is important when you have an administrative matter. Administrative law matters are not like civil litigation matters. The rules and process for each agency and board are different. In our years of practicing administrative law, our firm has learned the rules and practices of each entity and how to use them to create the most effective strategies for our clients.
We Have Represented Clients Before Numerous State and Federal Agencies, Including:
- OSHA (the Occupational Safety and Health Administration)
- OIG (the Office of the Inspector General)
- AG (the Texas Attorney General's Office)
- CMS (the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services)

In addition to these, we can assist you with proceedings involving many other state and federal agencies.

Additionally, we have decades of experience helping clients with business litigation cases.
Healthcare Compliance Issues
If you are a healthcare provider, compliance with licensing regulations and other state and federal laws and regulations is critical to your future. At Hendershot Cowart P.C., we help doctors and other medical professionals with false claims accusations, billing regulations, STARK, Anti-Kickback Statute, fraud, abuse, and recoupment claims, billing audits, civil investigation demands, and other regulatory matters that can damage their institutions and reputations.
Our lawyers represent practices and hospitals before state and medical boards of all kinds, as well as agencies in multiple investigation matters. We routinely assist clients with OIG and AG investigations into compliance matters, including Stark law, the Fraud and Abuse Statute, and other state and federal healthcare laws.
We assist clients at every stage of fraud and abuse investigations and claims, from preventive measures to developing an effective defense before administrative boards. In addition to our healthcare practice, we have represented employers in all stages of OSHA investigations, from informal conferences (IC), contested OSHA hearings and trials to appeals before the OSHA Review Commission.
