Lou La Cava’s Successful Defense Leads to Dismissal of Florida Department of Health Administrative Complaint Against Physician
Lou La Cava was successful in getting a Department of Health administrative complaint against a doctor dismissed. The case was sent to him from another firm who responded to the Florida Department of Health Administrative investigation letter asking that the case be dismissed. Unfortunately, probable cause was found and an administrative complaint against the doctor was filed. A formal hearing was requested. Lou took the deposition of the expert for the Florida Department of Health Administrative and was able to get some major concessions which significantly damaged the State’s case. Lou’s client and the expert he retained did an excellent job at their depositions. After discovery was completed, the Florida Department of Health Administrative attorney agreed to resubmit the case to the probable cause panel with a recommendation it be dismissed. The probable cause panel reconsidered its previous finding and issued a dismissal of the case.
