If I can give lawyer Indest and "The Health Lawfirm" a trillion stars, I would be a NASA astronaut and fly to the galaxies to get Him those stars. I was criminally accused by the Department of Health. The charges were so serious that they could jeopardize my nursing career, future and family with...out any doubt. Lawyer Indest graciously accepted my case and worked relentlessly to get my case dismissed. Yes, He got the case dismissed!!! He is incredibly experienced and has deep knowledge of health law. He tackled my case aggressively with all his legal acumen until we won!!. His Team were very responsive every time to all my questions and kept me updated all the time with the status of my case. I got a great value for my money. I can't say or thank Him and "The Health LawFirm" enough for what He did for me. Forever, I will remain indebted of gratitude to them . Thank you Lawyer Indest and "The Health LawFirm"!!!!!

Great great law firm

I am grateful to the Health Law firm for the fabulous work they did for me. They are not cheap, and they are very transparent about that. So, if do not have a big issue, you may be better off looking else where. However, for those life-altering/career -changing challenges, better call The health Law ...Firm. From their support staff eg. Amanda P, Shelly L. to lawyers like Amanda F, Mr. Indest, everyone was very patient, supportive but at the same time very professional. They efficiently work together to put a case together in a very short time. I recommend them

Swift, Supportive and Trustworthy

I contacted The Health Law Firm after several attempts to contact my previous employer for assistance regarding a notification for Writ of Summons on a patient I had seen more than 2 years ago. I had moved out of the state from which I had previously practiced and had transitioned to being a stay at ...home mom. After more than two years of being away from the profession, I found myself shocked at the notice sent to my home address and frustrated with the inability to find clarity regarding the reason for the civil action against me. As a practitioner who invests time and care into each patient and has high ethical standards, it was difficult to accept the position I was in. I went as far as to contact the plaintiff’s attorney to express my care for the patient in question. After several dead ends, an internet search led me to contact The Health Law Firm. At that point I had begun to feel hopeless in the matter and thought I had no choice but to surrender to the waiting game and see what would come of this case. I called asking for a reference regarding lawyers in Pennsylvania since I relocated to Texas and could not personally meet with a lawyer. After his legal aid heard more of my story over the phone, Mr. Indest himself called me back and spent time speaking necessary wisdom, compassion and guidance regarding my case. I immediately felt empowered and assured that with his help, this matter would receive the necessary attention it needed. From that point on The Health Law Firm responded to my inquiry with swiftness and persistence. They were communicative, consistent and I never felt like any of my questions were left unanswered. Even when it was evident that he had been successful in obtaining representation for me through my previous employer, Mr. Indest was thorough and checked back multiple times to ensure that I indeed did have support and representation. I would highly recommend The Health Law Firm. Mr. Indest has a passion for the law and serving people that is unequivocal and quite frankly rare in our current age.

Excellent Law Group

I am a Nursing Home Administrator who is being sued. I called the Health Law Firm to discuss my case and to receive legal advice regarding my case. Attorney George F. Indest III provided me excellent and sound advice regarding my situation. He then went above and beyond by contacting the Plaintiff...'s attorney getting the name of the defense attorney. He then got in touch with the defense attorney and discussed my case and situation with her. The defense attorney reached out to me immediately after speaking with attorney George F. Indest III and I now have representation for my case. Even though I did not need to hire The Health Law Firm, they are the only law firm that helped me immediately and gave me a resolution within 24 hours of my call to them. Let me just say out of the Fifteen(15) other attorneys I reached out to and yes I mean 15. The Health Law Firm was my knight-in-shining-armor during a most stressful time in my life. I cannot thank them enough for their help. And If I ever find myself in a situation and need an attorney THE HEALTH LAW FIRM is my first call.

Professional legal representation when I needed it.

Mr. Indest represented me this year in a legal matter with the Florida State Board of Pharmacy. While I've not had need for legal counsel in over 25 year of practice when such an occasion came up I was very pleased with how the firm (and specifically Mr. Indest) handled the matter so professionally.... From the first day I was contacted by the office and until the resulting dismissal of the claim he offered excellent communication, patiently answered questions. It took a huge burden off of my mind so that I was able to focus on my job. Thank you very my Mr. Indest for your legal help!
