About Medical Advocacy Consultants
Medical Advocacy Consultants is a physician-led organization specializing in medical case management, incarceration advocacy, eldercare navigation, substance use counseling, and insurance clinical coordination. With over three decades of clinical experience and deep understanding of both healthcare systems and the justice system, we advocate for clients whose medical needs are often overlooked—whether in courtrooms, correctional facilities, or complex family care environments.
Our mission is to ensure that no individual falls through the cracks when it comes to critical medical care,regardless of age, legal status, race, sexual orientation, or circumstance. Everyone deserves healthcare. Period.
What We Do
Our work spans the intersection of medicine, law, and advocacy, supporting individuals, families, and legal professionals nationwide.
🔷 Medical Case Management
We lead and coordinate comprehensive care plans for patients with complex needs—communicating with providers, navigating insurance, and addressing the full spectrum of medical, psychological, legal, and social factors that impact care.
🔷 Medical Incarceration Advocacy
From pre-trial evaluations to compassionate release motions, we partner with attorneys and prison consultants to secure appropriate placement, access to care, and relief for justice-involved individuals. We also intervene during incarceration to help address urgent health issues and inadequate care.
🔷 Eldercare Support
We assist families in managing the medical, emotional, and logistical challenges that come with aging. This includes care coordination, insurance navigation, rehabilitation placements, home care arrangements, and social work concerns—all with clarity, dignity, and compassion.
🔷 Substance Use Counseling & Support
With over a quarter century experience in treating drug and alcohol issues with patients and clients, we guide families and individuals through treatment options and help ensure continuity of care, particularly when addiction intersects with legal matters or incarceration.
🔷 Insurance Clinical Coordination
We help patients and their families understand and optimize their insurance coverage in medically complex situations, including claim justification, appeals, and accessing appropriate services.
Experience That Sets Us Apart
The foundation of our work is built on academic and clinical excellence. Our founder trained at Franklin & Marshall, the University of Michigan, and Duke University Medical Center, and later served as a respected figure in academic family medicine in New York City. He was publicly honored by Manhattan DA Cyrus Vance, Jr. for coordinating medical care for those affected by toxic exposure at the World Trade Center following 9/11.
But it was a deeply personal experience—serving a federal sentence after a financial misstep—that sparked the formation of Medical Advocacy Consultants. Firsthand exposure to the shocking gaps in prison healthcare led to a new purpose: ensuring that no one suffers needlessly in custody due to inadequate medical attention.
Since then, we have contributed to:
- Over a dozen Compassionate Release or Reduction in Sentence victories
- Two Presidential pardons
- Early releases under the CARES Act
- Ongoing medical support for individuals during incarceration
- Collaborative legal wins for attorneys and families nationwide
Our Philosophy
At Medical Advocacy Consultants, we believe real advocacy requires both clinical authority and lived experience. Our team includes medical professionals and individuals with firsthand insight into the justice system, making us uniquely qualified to guide clients through the medical, legal, and institutional complexities they face.
We collaborate with top criminal defense attorneys, civil rights advocates, legal aid groups, and prison consultants to deliver results that protect lives, uphold dignity, and support long-term health outcomes.
