EXPERT ALERT:

America's Immigration Crisis
Mark Bello
Author, CEO, General Counsel
Lawsuit Financial, Inc.
"The United States of America is a country founded by immigrants. American greatness is achieved when our citizens welcome people to our shores, not when we turn our backs on them. Instead of building walls and slamming doors, why don't we offer our welcoming and helping hands?"
Bello is an attorney, civil justice advocate, and award-winning author of the Zachary Blake Legal Thriller Series. He draws upon 42 years of courtroom experience, a passion for justice, and his creative writing style to pen captivating novels for his readers and hard-hitting commentaries on controversies in the news. Bello was one of the first attorneys to sue the Catholic Church over sexual abuse by clergy, an experience that inspired his debut novel, "Betrayal of Faith." Through his "ripped from the headlines" novels, he takes readers deep into the courtroom fights to protect our most precious rights, and gives us a front row glimpse into what victims face when standing up for justice. His fourth novel, "Betrayal in Black," is scheduled for release in 2019. Bello is CEO and General Counsel for Lawsuit Financial, Inc., a national provider of lawsuit funding, and a leading expert on financing litigation. A native of Detroit, he earned his law degree from Western Michigan University's Thomas M. Cooley Law School in Lansing and a Bachelor of Arts degree in English Literature from Oakland University in Rochester. In his books, articles and blogs, Bello calls out abuses of power as he empowers readers, the media, and ordinary citizens to fight for their rights as guaranteed under the Constitution. Bello and his spouse, Tobye, have four children and eight grandchildren. In his spare time, he enjoys traveling and spending time with his family.

Record Health Care Fraud Investigation Involving Telemedicine and Medical Equipment
Edgar Bueno
Partner
Morris Manning & Martin, LLP
Bueno is available to discuss federal and local healthcare fraud investigations, including Medicare and Medicaid -- specifically the record fraud bust announced April 9, 2019: "This is truly an 'all-hands on deck' coordinated effort by law enforcement, an approach which will likely become more common when trying to stop health care fraud on a large scale (a nationwide conspiracy) and essentially in real-time. The breadth of the investigation shows that health care fraud enforcement is not focused solely on the opioid crisis. Whenever the Medicare Fraud Strike Force is involved, they are looking for big, headline-grabbing cases. Many of these defendants will inevitably 'flip' and testify on behalf of the government in order to obtain credit at sentencing. The question is how far will the investigation reach and how many more providers will get caught up in this already wide net. The focus of the investigation appears to be a coordinated scheme involving telemedicine, which has been a hot topic in health care innovation recently. Hopefully, these prosecutions will not put telemedicine in a bad light, as there can be tremendous patient benefits."
Bueno is a former assistant U.S. attorney and chief of the Civil Division for the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Georgia.
