Below are a few select representative matters that Daniel has been involved in recently:

DOCTOR CHARGED WITH 22 COUNTS OF HEALTHCARE/MEDICARE FRAUD – NOT GUILTY AFTER TWO-WEEK JURY TRIAL:
Daniel was part of the defense team that went to trial in Federal Court in the Southern District of Florida on behalf of a prominent South Florida doctor charged with 22 counts of Healthcare/Medicare Fraud. The Government alleged the doctor, at each of his several office locations, falsified diagnoses and treatments of patients in an alleged scheme to make money. In support of its case, the Government introduced testimony from ocular oncology experts from the Cleveland Clinic and Bascom Palmer to assert that the doctor treated non-existent tumors in patients’ eyes. During trial, Daniel cross examined the government’s fact witness regarding the patients’ files and the doctor’s diagnoses. Daniel also cross examined the government's medical coding specialist and conducted the direct examination of the doctor. Daniel was part of a great defense team that helped refute the allegations against the doctor and accusations by government experts. After a two-week trial, the 12-member jury rendered a verdict acquitting the doctor on all 22 counts in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

ATTEMPTED BURGLARY OF AN OCCUPIED DWELLING — CHARGE DISMISSED:

Daniel represented a south florida businessman arrested for burglary. After a disagreement at an acquaintance's home, the client was arrested with allegations including burglary of an occupied dwelling — a second degree felony. After securing the client's pretrial release, Daniel deposed the acquaintance. Following a successful deposition, Daniel successfully argued a Motion to Dismiss the main charge, and negotiated a plea with a probationary sentence for the remaining charge.

ARMED ROBBERY – PROBATION:
Daniel represented an athlete recruited to play college football at many major Division I colleges and universities. While the athlete was attending college, he was charged with Armed Robbery — a felony punishable by life imprisonment. After Frank secured the client's pretrial release at the Arthur hearing, Daniel and Frank flew out to Tucson, Arizona for the deposition of the state’s main witness. Following a successful deposition of the witness, Daniel and Frank negotiated a plea to a reduced charge and a probationary sentence.
​
LOITERING AND PROWLING – CHARGES DROPPED BY THE STATE:
After review of hours of body camera footage, discovery, and case law, Daniel drafted a motion to dismiss on behalf of a client who was charged with loitering and prowling. The client was arrested and charged after the
client ​arrived at a fast-food restaurant, discovered it was closed, momentarily got out of the vehicle, and then drove away. Daniel argued that the officers’ investigatory stop of the client’s vehicle was unlawful because the officers did not possess any legal basis to justify the investigatory stop of the client’s vehicle. Therefore, citing case law from the Florida Supreme Court, various Florida Courts of Appeal, and the cited Florida Statutes, Daniel argued that the officers never should have arrested the client. After reviewing the evidence with the State, the State agreed to drop the charges against the client.

Daniel has experience litigating civil healthcare matters on behalf of health care providers regarding underpayments and denials of payments for emergency services. Daniel has handled matters before Federal and state courts and before the American Arbitration Association.
