We Enable Healthcare Providers to Focus On What They Do Best
Our Georgia-based business and health law firm aspires to have a big impact on health care. Little Health Law (formerly Hamil Little) exclusively represents medical practices, surgery centers, physicians, and other healthcare businesses. By showing providers how to navigate complex rules and regulations of the healthcare industry, we enable them to focus on providing exceptional health care.
For example, we help owners and providers innovate and design compliant, profitable medical practices, surgery centers, pain management clinics, med spas, and other healthcare services businesses to benefit their communities; we navigate difficult professional licensure and medical board cases for physicians and other healthcare professionals so that they can keep their focus on their patients; we defend medical audits and resolve third-party payor reimbursement disputes to protect medical enterprise; we tackle esoteric clinician peer review, employment, and compensation issues, to advance physician careers; we close medical practice deals that expand their ability to provide great healthcare; and we pursue other legal engagements that ultimately enable the provision of healthcare.
Little Health Law is a 30-year, AV-rated, highly-specialized boutique health law business built upon the seasoned experience and creativity of accomplished, well-networked lawyers devoted to their craft. We enjoy what we do. Our attorneys make deals, protect, and advocate solely for healthcare providers. Each lawyer in our firm is a seasoned healthcare attorney and problem solver devoted to one thing: helping providers succeed. It’s all we do. As a Georgia-based, multi-jurisdictional health law practice, Little Health Law provides world-class service to providers throughout Georgia and beyond.
World-Class Customer Service for Providers
At Little Health Law, we strive for the highest level of customer service for every healthcare provider we represent. An unprecedented written service guarantee backs our promise of exceptional customer service. In each engagement, our customer deals directly with an experienced health law attorney. Our attorneys strive to be highly accessible, responsive, and considerate at all times — every engagement, every time, exactly as promised. Additionally, our customer service experience may include alternative fee arrangements to conform the scope of our legal services to our customers’ specific individual needs and budgets. These arrangements include flat-rate packages and our Access Counsel Membership Program with discounted monthly retainers for continuing access to our lawyers as outside General Counsel. We aspire to be a highly efficient, one-stop shopping opportunity for medical practices, surgery centers, physicians, and healthcare businesses.To us, this is the biggest way for a provider to win!

For Providers
Who Love To Win
Whether we are designing and closing a transaction in a manner to ensure regulatory compliance, negotiating a healthcare joint venture or a crucial contract, or advocating for a healthcare provider before a licensing board, medical executive committee, or a federal or state a law enforcement agency, we rely upon deep experience, thoughtful collaboration and meticulous legal work to protect every customer and find the winning angle in every legal engagement. Because each Little Health Law customer provides healthcare services and is therefore charged with crucial responsibilities that attend delivering healthcare, we automatically deem the stakes high in everything we do. We strive to help our clients properly clear the hurdle that brings them to us — whatever it is — and ensure their ability to deliver exceptional health care.

How We Roll
FOCUSED EXPERTISE
Representing healthcare providers is not just something we do – it’s all we do. 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.
