Enabling Providers Is All We Do
Our Georgia-based business and health law firm endeavors to have a big impact on the delivery of health care by helping providers succeed in their medical practices, professions, and businesses. Little Health Law (formerly Hamil Little) exclusively represents medical practices and surgery centers, individual physicians, med spas and other healthcare business enterprise. This is all we do.
Healthcare providers need to be able to innovate and design compliant, profitable medical practices, surgery centers, pain management clinics, med spas, and other healthcare services businesses to benefit their communities. Physicians must navigate difficult professional licensure and medical board cases to protect their ability to practice medicine. Medical practices confront medical audits and third-party payor reimbursement disputes to protect their financial interests. Licensed providers face esoteric clinician peer review process, employment disputes and compensation issues. Physician groups need to close medical practice deals that expand their ability to provide great healthcare. Non-physician med spa owners must comply with corporate practice of medicine rules so that they can make their customers look and feel amazing. All providers and practitioners encounter unique challenges that derive of a highly regulated healthcare industry that may impact their ability to deliver healthcare services. We intend to be the solution for healthcare providers, striving to make a positive difference in the delivery of healthcare by solving these legal problems, enabling and protecting them so that they can focus on health care delivery.

How We Roll
FOCUSED EXPERTISE
Representing healthcare providers is not just something we do – it’s all we do. Our Expertise is limited to one thing: health law. As a result, we are intimately familiar with the legal challenges and risks our customers face on a daily basis. Our healthcare attorneys continuously work to develop in-depth knowledge of all aspects of the difficult problem-solving process involved in interpreting and applying the changing and esoteric laws, rules, and regulations that govern the healthcare industry.
PRICELESS ACCESS
A physician client told one of our lawyers, “The reason I hire you is not your knowledge. Other lawyers may have that. The reason I hire you is that you are always available. My access to you is priceless.” Our goal is to be available when you need us. While we cannot guarantee that all of our attorneys are available at any time, we try to be. Our customers will have their lawyer’s personal cell number and will work directly with him or her throughout the engagement.
RARE EXPERIENCE
Our firm is very selective about who makes our team. Each lawyer in our firm is (i) exclusively devoted to health law and bears significant experience problem solving for healthcare providers; and (ii) has served as a General Counsel for a healthcare services company, a federal prosecutor, a Federal Judicial Law clerk, or a healthcare attorney in the health law department of a large law firm. All of our attorneys are well-networked with many dozens of other healthcare attorneys and consultants outside of our firm to whom we have ready access where we need to collaborate to serve our customers better.
What Our Clients Say About Us
Client Reviews
I got my fellowship position back!
Kevin Little helped me get my job back! He listened to my story and really took the time to dissect each event and took the time to know all of the people who were involved. His review of policy and letter writing skills helped with both of my appeals processes, for which the hiring company sided with me, rather than my employer. I’m eternally grateful that my career is intact because my wife was able to find him on Google. He will fight for you and he is not afraid to put his best foot forward.
