Client Testimonials

Jeff has been a great asset in helping us in a variety of areas including HIPAA policy implementation, hospital contract negotiations, and software license reseller arrangements. Considering there are relatively few attorneys in our area with the depth and breadth of Jeff's experience in health care, along with those of his colleagues, we always hope to secure Jeff's involvement with our group before the counter-party also seeks his involvement. Because of the small market, it is always a setback when we discover a conflict exists. Regardless, when we secure Jeff's involvement, we are confident that we are getting the best advice in the industry and that Jeff has our group's best interest at heart.

It seems Vermont has but only a few attorneys with extensive experience in health care matters. When issues arise, you can only hope you're the fortunate one to have secured Jeff McMahan before the opposing party does. I take great confidence in having Jeff represent us in legal matters. Being thorough and professional, he projects the image we want for our company. Furthermore, we have been very satisfied with how our legal matters have been addressed.

His knowledge, responsiveness, and creative thinking skills have helped my organization tremendously.
