Health care lawyer | Jul 22

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have known Les for over 4 years and worked with him on several cases during that time. I can tell you from first hand experience that Les is an extremely sharp and particularly knowledgeable attorney. Health care law is extremely technical. Les understands his client's needs, and is an excellent analyst and identifying his client's case strengths and weaknesses. He knows how to appeal and win for his clients and he knows how to control costs while doing it. Les gives his clients an ace in the hole when litigating against government contractors. I fully endorse this attorney."

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have worked in health care (both in health care management and in health law) for almost 25 years. During this period, I have worked with countless health care attorneys. Without question, Les Johnson is one of the brightest, most knowledgeable health lawyers I have ever known. Unlike many health lawyers, Les is experienced working in practically every area of this specialty area. He is quite adept at handling Stark assessments, Federal Anti-Kickback analyses, Cost Report issues and Medicare claims appeals. In the area of appeals, Les is skilled at representing providers in administrative appeals of Medicare Part A, Part B and Medicaid claims which have been denied. Les has represented providers at every level of the administrative appeals process and has been before the MAC and the PRRB. Les is well respected by his peers and his opinion is both sought-after and greatly valued by attorneys around the country. I highly recommend Les. You will be very happy with his work."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
