In the New York office, Claire Bornstein is a go-to for all things Medicaid, and Sean Cenawood‘s area of expertise is fraud investigations and litigation. Also integral to the group is DC-based fraud and abuse and regulatory compliance specialist Gadi Weinreich. Associate Margo Wilkinson Smith handles a diverse set of matters in Kansas City.
