Debra Levorse Email & Phone Number

I have devoted my career to representing clients in the healthcare industry. I have defended large hospital systems and publicly traded companies to medical practices and professionals from virtually every field, including surgeons, dentists, chiropractors, physicians, nurses, and nursing assistants. My vast experience spans advising CEOs and general counsels on risk management to avoid lawsuits and litigation strategy to defending complex issues before state and federal courts, arbitration panels, and administrative proceedings. I have argued appeals before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit and the Supreme Court of Georgia.I represent the nation’s largest facilities and providers in the long-term care, home health, hospice, and assisting living sectors. I am well-versed in intricate federal and state regulations governing the operations of these healthcare entities. I have successfully defended clients against a myriad of serious allegations, such as fraud and medical malpractice. Not only have I handled the fairly typical malpractice cases (falls, wounds, medication errors, elopements), I also have assisted clients with sexual abuse allegations, drug diversion issues, and social media concerns.From the onset of litigation, I provide my clients a vigorous defense to protect their reputations and minimize exposure. My proactive approach aims to control the direction of a case and create leverage for cost-effective resolutions. I prepare witnesses to navigate even the most unexpected circumstances, using my extensive experience gained from representing healthcare professionals in thousands of depositions. My knowledge and insights into potential strategies of plaintiffs have led to hundreds of dismissals or favorable outcomes for my clients.

Listed skills include Civil Litigation, Litigation, Trials, Product Liability, and 14 others.
