Medical Debt Is the #1 Cause of Bankruptcy in America
But most people filing bankruptcy over medical bills never had anyone actually review those bills for errors, negotiate with the provider, or push back on the collector.

of Georgia adults carry medical debt (KFF estimates).
Surprise bills after an ER visit. Balance billing from an out-of-network provider you didn't choose. A bill that went to collections before you even received it.
These are not problems that bankruptcy solves. They're problems that targeted legal work solves. Not malpractice. Not bankruptcy. Just the bill.
A Law Office, Not a Call Center
That matters when the bill is already in collections, the paperwork is a mess, or the situation needs real legal judgment.

What We Look For in Every Bill
An estimated 80% of medical bills contain errors. Here is what an attorney with medical training actually checks.
Duplicate Charges
The same service billed twice, sometimes across separate statements from the same visit.
Upcoding
Billing for a higher-level service than what was performed. A 15-minute office visit billed as a comprehensive evaluation.
Unbundling
Billing individual components of a procedure separately to inflate the total when they should be billed as one.
Balance Billing Violations
Charging patients for amounts prohibited by the No Surprises Act or Georgia law.
EOB Mismatches
Provider billing more than what your insurance EOB says you owe. More common than you might think.
Services Not Rendered
Charges for procedures, tests, or consultations that never actually happened.
How It Works
Get Started
Complete a brief intake form, upload your medical bills, collection notices, and insurance EOBs. Pay the $149 review fee. No commitment beyond the review. If you do not have all your documents, start with what you have.
Attorney Review
We review every bill line by line for errors, duplicate charges, upcoding, and overcharges. We cross-reference bills against your EOBs. If the matter fits, we send a clear engagement offer with defined pricing and a fee cap.
We Negotiate
We request itemized bills, identify errors, draft tailored settlement letters, and handle all communication with providers and collectors. If your debt is in collections, we formally dispute it under the FDCPA and redirect all contact through our office. You track everything through your secure portal.
You Save
Review and approve settlement offers in your portal. Nothing happens without your consent. You receive documentation of every negotiation, every error identified, and every dollar saved.
Not Sure Where You Fit?
Looking for a malpractice lawyer?
That's a different service. We don't handle medical negligence or injury claims. If you were harmed by a doctor, you need a medical malpractice attorney.
Considering bankruptcy?
Medical debt is the #1 reason people file, but it may not be necessary. We negotiate the underlying bills first. If bankruptcy is the recommended path forward, we will advise you of that after your review and connect you with the right bankruptcy attorney.
Tried calling the billing department?
That's where most people start, and where most people get stuck. An attorney letter changes the conversation.
Bill already in collections?
We can formally dispute the debt, demand verification under federal law, and negotiate from a documented record rather than from panic.
Got a surprise bill from an out-of-network provider?
If you were treated at an in-network facility by a provider you did not choose, the No Surprises Act may limit what they can charge you. We review the facts and challenge the bill when the law supports it.
Multiple bills from one hospital visit?
A single ER visit can generate separate bills from the hospital, the ER physician, the radiologist, the lab, and the ambulance. We organize and negotiate each one under a single engagement.
Ready to Take Control of Your Medical Debt?
Start with the bills you already have. Upload them. We'll review them and tell you what's worth fighting, what's worth settling, and what belongs in a different lane.
