John Rivas

After dealing with Texas BON for 8 months, I decided to seek legal representation. I was surprised to actually talk to John himself over the phone and explain my case. He was upfront with me and explained my chances of getting a 100% favorable outcome were slim. Many months later (dealing with BON is a long process), many emails back and forth, to and from his paralegal Frederick, we finally closed the case. To my surprise, the results were 100% in my favor. I am really pleased with the outcome, obviously, and excited to start and continue my nursing career.

I found the services of this law firm were outstanding. They kept me informed at every turn and went out of their way to obtain a positive outcome for my case. I found them friendly, caring and knowledgeable. I have already recommended them to a fellow co worker and will continue to do so.

We own a private ambulance company in the Houston metro area. We hired John Rivas back in 2008 to represent our company in a large overpayment demand from Medicare. John was extremely knowledgeable and highly experienced in the medical healthcare insurance industry. John and his attentive and diligent staff worked on this case for over two years through numerous appeals and met every deadline on time. John and his firm won over 85% of our claims and we finally reached a small settlement agreement with Medicare. Since that time, we have retained John as our attorney on retainer. We feel totally comfortable in knowing if we have a medical healthcare question or legal matter arise, we know we can contact his staff and get an answer to our question in a timely fashion or if John does not feel comfortable in that area of law, he will refer us to someone he knows and trusts. We highly recommend John Rivas with any type of healthcare insurance related issue. Both John and his staff exceeded our expectations. He has represented us numerous times over the past eight years and we have never been disappointed. We give John and his firm 5 Gold Stars!

I am a physician that had a complaint filed against me with the Texas Medical Board. It was a rather unique case and I truly had no idea what to expect through the whole grueling 8 month long process. Mr. Rivas and his paralegal (Mr. Reinhardt) were extremely helpful during the entire time. During a rather anxiety provoking time, they did an excellent job at easing my concerns, yet not giving me unrealistic expectations or minimizing the issue at hand. My questions were answered quickly, and communication was excellent. I felt very comfortable and confident that I was being represented well and to the best of his ability. The outcome was better than I expected as the case was completely dismissed on my behalf. His knowledge of the inner workings of the board proved to be invaluable. I would highly recommend Mr. Rivas to anyone having to face a complaint with the Texas Medical Board.

My office has been doing business with Mr. Rivas for several years and we have always had great communication with him and his staff. We can call at any time and his staff is always available. Mr. Reinhardt is great. I have called him during the holidays on deadlines and he has always been professional and reassuring that all will be taken care of. My respects to all the staff.

John is an excellent attorney specializing in Health Care government regulation for my cases. I have used John several times for Health Care support and has done a great job keeping me posted of my case to assure I can continue working. John does not come alone; he has a big legal team that encompasses various specialties i.e.. Non-Compete cases etc. I would recommend John Rivas because of his professionalism, experience and expertise. Neil Cruz

I was turned over to the State Board of Nursing by my employer for neglect. Mr. Rivas and Co. kept me very informed and I felt that it was taken care of in a very timely manner. Of course the Board determined that" We" were correct and my record was expunged. So, a big THANK YOU to all who worked on my case.

John Rivas has a reputation in the medical industry for being one of Texas' best healthcare attorneys. Based on our experience dealing with John Rivas I would have to agree. John Rivas' expertise in dealing with healthcare law (particularly with regard to Stark Law and AKS) is outstanding.
