Practice

David F. Boleyn, Esq.

Attorney and Counselor at Law

Practitioner Information

David F. Boleyn is an attorney and counselor at law, a sole practitioner, with an office conveniently located in Arlington, Virginia, less than a mile from the Shirlington exit on Route 395. [Click on "Contact" for directions.] Mr. Boleyn was born in Arlington, and - but for a 15-month period during which he resided in Florida - Mr. Boleyn has lived in Virginia his entire life.

Mr. Boleyn has been practicing law - except for a few brief periods when he took positions with various employers - since graduating from Georgetown University Law Center in 1981. In fact, Mr. Boleyn took and passed the Virginia State Bar exam before he graduated, making him one of a small group of professionals who was able to practice law the very day he graduated. That same summer, Mr. Boleyn took and passed the District of Columbia Bar exam.

Mr. Boleyn’s accumulated and diversified experience has made him an extraordinary attorney and counselor at law. He is a seasoned businessman with extensive experience in business and health law matters. He has founded and operated businesses, including the performance of all things related thereto, such as:

• Recognizing market opportunities;
• Conceptualizing businesses to capitalize on market opportunities;
• Writing business plans, including defining goals and producing cash flow/break even analyses under varying scenarios;
• Assembling private placement memoranda and raising venture capital (equity and debt);
• Selecting computing platforms and designing custom-application software; and
• Producing and implementing marketing plans, many of which resulted in the building of substantial customer (i.e., client and/or patient) bases.

 Mr. Boleyn provided consulting services to a Fortune 500 company in the early days of “senior living” facilities. The company had no mechanism for recovering insurance benefits from third-party payers for prescription drugs dispensed to hundreds of residents in the senior living community. Mr. Boleyn analyzed the multi-faceted problem, designed a comprehensive solution, and was directly responsible for the company recovering millions of dollars in benefits that may otherwise have escaped collection.

In addition, Mr. Boleyn has provided consulting services to a number of smaller concerns - both profit and nonprofit - in all stages of the business cycle. These stages include: startup; ongoing operations; and windup (e.g., the selling or closing of a business).

 

Representative Practice Areas and Experience

Mr. Boleyn has provided legal services to physicians in the following areas:

• Medical practice startup, referral-based marketing, operations and windup;
• Recruiting and hiring professional staff, including physician employment agreements and independent contractor agreements;
• Unwinding agreements and/or transactions when things don’t work out;
• Acquisition (purchase and sale agreements);
• Federal and state regulatory compliance, including:

Patient records and privacy (HIPAA and more stringent state requirements);

Stark Law I, II and III, i.e., physician anti-referral, with safe-harbor posturing;

Physician anti-kickback, with safe-harbor posturing;

Certificate of Public Need applications and representation before local health systems agencies and the Virginia Department of Health.

• Peer review, corrective actions, Fair Hearing representation;
• Virginia Board of Medicine disciplinary hearing preparation and representation.

The preceding is meant to reflect subject matters or areas in which Mr. Boleyn has had direct experience, but it is not all-inclusive. If you have a need for legal services that doesn’t seem to fit within one of the categories listed, you are nevertheless encouraged to contact Mr. Boleyn. He may still be able to be of assistance to you. And, if not, he will almost certainly know of another lawyer who can be of assistance to you.
