Overview
Joe has extensive experience working with clients on resolving medical bill disputes and reducing medical bills under the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Medical Fee Schedule. Joe helps clients mitigate costs of resolving inflated bills for excessive medical treatment and negotiate surgery bills when medical providers attempt to manipulate the fee schedule for additional reimbursement.
Clients turn to Joe for his sharp attention to detail, experience in handling medical bill and Medicare Secondary Payer issues in workers’ compensation cases, and his creative methods for resolving complicated claims.
He believes the practice of law requires a case-specific approach, ability to assess a client’s individual goals, a multi-faceted skill set, and an inherent curiosity in unique and novel legal issues.
After receiving his Illinois attorney license in 2016, Joe joined Nyhan as an Associate, following his position with the firm as a law clerk during his 2L year in law school. In his multiple capacities with the firm, Joe further developed his strongest skills, legal research and writing, while also expanding his skill set to litigation.
During law school, Joe held an internship with the American Medical Association as a summer scholar for their Council on Ethical & Judicial Affairs as well as an externship for Justice Anne M. Burke of the Illinois Supreme Court. In addition, Joe spent time as a law clerk for a Plaintiff’s personal injury firm and a professional licensure defense firm.
In his free time, Joe enjoys spending time with his family, hiking, and attending concerts
