At Schottenstein Zox and Dunn, our health care trial lawyers are more than just strong advocates – they have a sound understanding of the complex relationships and regulatory schemes underlying health care disputes, enabling client matters to be resolved efficiently and favorably.  When possible, alternative dispute approaches, such as mediation and arbitration, are initially prescribed to resolve matters promptly and avoid lengthy litigation.
