Paul Murphy was counsel to DaVita, a powerhouse in the medical | Lin Wood

Paul Murphy was counsel to DaVita, a powerhouse in the medical arena of dialysis and treatment of end stage renal disease, in the case described below.

In 2015, I was lead trial counsel in a False Claims Act case for 2 brave whistleblowers who alleged with evidence Medicare fraud by DaVita. On behalf of U.S. taxpayers, my clients recovered $450,000,000 from DaVita in a settlement agreed to shortly before the federal judge was going to enter an order on my clients’ motion for sanctions against DaVita.

The court had earlier ruled that the crime-fraud exception to the attorney-client privilege had been established by evidence of witness tampering, obstruction of justice, perjury, and subornation of perjury involving DaVita lawyers and witnesses.

Sally Yates had years earlier declined to intervene in the case for the Department of Justice. My courageous clients would not quit and I was honored to lead their multi-year fight for truth and justice.

It was not easy. It was hard. Fraud is always carefully planned with an intent to cover it up. A lawyer has to be aggressive and determined to find fraud and expose it.

In the end, truth prevailed over lies.

It always does.
