canal . How do you find legal experts who understand your unique legal needs ? How do you know that your best interest is their priority ? How can you anticipate what their services will ultimately cost ?
When you work with an experienced attorney who focuses in the business of dentistry , you won ’ t find yourself paying for the time it takes to bring them up to speed on the unique needs of a dental practice . Instead , your attorney should be able to provide you with helpful information that is specifically tailored to dentistry and based on past experience rather than guesswork . Any attorney can read a contract , but an attorney with dental expertise can see what ’ s in your contract – and identify the potentially critical elements that aren ’ t .
Joe McGregor of McGregor & Oblad PLLC notes , “ Too often , dentists try to wade through the legal issues that affect their business without representation or without the right representation . A dentist may make a decision about representation with the intention to save money , but in the end , it resulted in higher costs because issues pertinent to their specific circumstances were not identified . Conversely , I have seen clients pay an exorbitant price for legal services to achieve the same result that another attorney routinely achieves for much less . Our clients tell us that they draw great comfort from working with someone who has experience with the business of dentistry .”
Does your attorney have expertise in the field of law that you need ?
Tax law , estate law , employment and labor law , real estate law , business succession , restrictive covenants , regulatory issues , HIPAA , fraud and abuse , licensure – the list of legal concerns that come into play over the course of a dental career goes on and on .
The legal needs of a dental practice often intersect many subfields of law , and it may be difficult to find a legal professional with proficiency that spans the scope of expertise you need . McGregor & Oblad focuses on dentistry , and offers dental industry expertise on a broad range of issues in one office .
