Medical Board Issue

I received a complaint notice from the medical board. It was a situation that I knew that I was not at fault in. Mr. Cobos was readily available and handled my case professionally and the case was decided in my favor. He also helped some friends of mine who have a healthcare agency. His firm was ther...e for them immediately when they called in distress and now they are quite pleased with my referral.

Excellent Attorney

I am a physician/attorney and found myself the subject of a medical board investigation. Even though I could have represented myself I chose to seek counsel. I wanted a respected attorney with extensive medical board experience and comprehensive administrative law knowledge. The issues in my case wer...e complex both medically and administratively. Mr. Cobos fully prepared me as to all the factual and legal issues and we were successful in getting the matter dismissed. His knowledge was up to date regarding disciplinary process and defenses. I was quite comfortable with his understanding and ability to advocate medical defenses. His knowledge of the Texas Medical Board and the administrative law system is second to none. At every step he was able to assess potential outcomes to allow me to make well informed decisions.

Outstanding Attorney

Any physician who has had to answer to a medical board knows it is not only a legal issue, but a very personal one. Having your competency as a physician questioned is stressful, to say the least. Tony understands this better than I could ever imagine a non physician could. He recently helped me prep...are a response to an initial complaint and as a consequence the complaint was dismissed without further investigation. I don't believe you can find a better attorney to stand with you and I recommend you involve him as soon as a complaint is filed.

A real relief...

I was referred to Tony by my med-mal carrier after a competitor reported me to the TMB. I hadn't violated any standards of care and Tony was quick to help me mount a formal and thorough response. Based on his advice and our experts, the TMB dismissed the 'complaint.' I can't imagine a more speciali...zed and skilled response for me--Tony helped the Board see the situation as it was and helped exonerate me. Besides being friendly and available, I can't imagine a better attorney.

Tony Cobos is my lawyer.

Mr. Cobos defended me for a Medical Board complaint at a time when the State Legislature was leaning on the Medical Board to convict physicians for any spurious complaint. With the help of Mr. Cobos I was able to defend my professional reputation; my case was dismissed without a fine. When the Med...ical Board failed to post notification of dismissal of the complaint for several months, he was able to correct this failure quickly. I felt his advice was excellent and level of understanding of the process flawless. I felt very confident with Mr. Cobos in charge of my case, and would recommend him highly.
