His prowess across multiple areas of law has cemented his reputation and legacy as a trial lawyer of unparalleled versatility.

In nearly two decades of private practice, Mr. Brown has built a remarkable mid-sized law firm comprised of former DOJ alumni, skilled litigators, and an amazing support staff. Despite their landmark achievements, they prioritize results over recognition.

Mr. Brown’s contributions to the legal landscape have garnered numerous awards and accolades, with Brown, LLC ranking as the second most prolific firm in False Claims Act (whistleblower) litigation according to Lex Machina.

US and OK ex rel v. Carter Healthcare, et al. $22.9 Million False Claims Act Settlement – Medicare Fraud: The Medicare fraud whistleblowers in the complaint alleged that the home-health agency and in-home hospice care provider paid doctors to serve as sham “medical directors” to induce the doctors to refer their Medicare and TRICARE patients.

US ex rel v. Genomic Health $32.5 Million False Claims Act Settlement – Medicare Fraud: The False Claims Act complaint alleged that the defendant evaded the Medicare Fraud 14-day rule by extending the period in which laboratory tests were sent out to increase billing without any medical necessity for such a practice. Evading the 14-day rule causes inconvenience and potential harm to patients, creates artificial delays and inefficiencies in laboratory processes, and ultimately needlessly costs taxpayers more than is necessary. For more information, read the full press release here.

Oaktree Medical Centre, P.C., et al. $140 Million False Claims Act Judgment: The complaint in this matter alleged that Oaktree, et al violated the Stark Law and the Anti-Kickback Statute by referring to urine drug tests, which in turn led to unnecessary drug testing.
