The firm has earned a national reputation in the emergency-medicine industry, which has depended on Millstein Fellner LLP to represent it in numerous matters. David Millstein has written and lectured on issues concerning emergency-room physicians, such as the business practice of medicine, illegal contracts and arrangements between hospitals, and the impact of anti-kickback and referral fee laws on physician groups.
