Nelson Hardiman restores doctor into residency program with full benefits and reimbursement of his attorney’s fees

Nelson Hardiman attorneys successfully negotiated the reinstatement of a medical resident who had been summarily terminated from a prestigious Westside Los Angeles residency program. The chief of the program terminated the resident without a hearing, and he was notified that he would not be allowed to re-enroll in the program in the future. Tom and Ben were able to successfully argue that the chief’s actions denied the resident his rights to fair procedures, using case precedents established by Nelson Hardiman LLP in the California Supreme Court. The resident was reinstated in the program and maintained his status and benefits of enrollment. In addition, the program agreed to reimburse the resident for Nelson Hardiman LLP’s legal fees incurred on his behalf.
