Ron’s track record of federal trial acquittals in health care fraud cases is simply unmatched. Ron formed SHG to help health care providers avoid federal criminal scrutiny.

Experience
From the War on Terror to the War on Opioids
Ron cut his teeth in Federal Investigations during the Global War on Terror for the United States Marine Corps. As a Marine Corps Officer and Lawyer, he conducted high-level federal investigations into gun, drug, and terrorism offenses. He returned home and applied his skills to the defense of healthcare providers facing federal investigations, prosecutions, and False Claims Act cases. For the last decade, Ron has racked up a list of trial acquittals, dismissals, and non-prosecutions that lead the nation.
Through the diligent presentation of his client’s case and exacting attention to detail, he has earned the respect of fellow defense counsel and federal judges, one of whom commented he was the best he’s seen “in 20 years on the bench.”
Unmatched Trial Results and Acquittals in High-Profile Cases
He achieved an acquittal in a $550 million healthcare fraud and 56-count drug trafficking and healthcare fraud indictment against five physicians who were accused of distributing 13 million doses of Oxycodone. That same year he acquitted Dr. Lesly Pompy a former Cleveland Clinic Physician accused of over $12 million in healthcare fraud and unlawful prescribing. Shortly after, he achieved the dismissal of Dr. Thomas Sachy, who was charged in a Federal Indictment in Georgia of killing two patients by prescribing Oxycodone. In addition, he acquitted two Kentucky physicians in separate trials against the Department of Justice’s Appalachian Regional Prescription Opioid Task Force (ARPO). Both physicians were separately charged with unlawful prescribing and healthcare fraud. Both were fully acquitted and will return to practice.
Ron’s experience in healthcare fraud and white-collar cases has been sought nationwide. He has achieved trial victories across the United States. He has been admitted to many federal district courts and routinely gains admission by permission of the Court. Ron has achieved acquittals and successful results across the country:
- United States Supreme Court: Ron represented two defendants before the United States Supreme Court, resulting in vacated convictions.
- Federal Appellate Courts: Ron has represented clients before many United States Courts of Appeals, including the 6th, 9th, 5th, and 11th Circuits.
- United States District Courts: Ron has achieved a record number of trial acquittals for clients accused of health care fraud, drug trafficking, money laundering, wire fraud, and mail fraud, as well as other white-collar offenses.
