Jim Hoover has extensive litigation experience defending companies, corporate representatives, and other individuals in qui tam lawsuits and responding to Civil Investigative Demands, grand jury subpoenas, and other government investigations regarding violations of Stark, Anti-kickback, and False Claims Act.

Jim represents all types of healthcare providers before administrative tribunals, including the CMS, DEA, OIG, FDA, and other federal and state regulatory agencies such as the State Health Planning and Development Agency/Certificate of Need Review Board, Board of Pharmacy, Board of Medical Examiners, Medical Licensure Commission, and Board of Nursing. Jim also represents healthcare providers and health plans with their health care compliance programs, HIPAA privacy and security matters, claims appeals, audits, recoupments, and sanctions, as well as other health law disputes.

Introduced to law early on, Jim found the competitive nature of the profession intriguing. Now representing all types of companies and individuals in the health care industry, Jim puts himself into his client’s shoes to gain the most holistic point of view and find the best solutions. Quick on his feet and ready for the challenge, he serves with passion as he represents hospitals, physician practices, pharmacies, pharmaceutical manufacturers, nutraceutical manufacturers, and medical device manufacturers throughout Alabama and the Southeast.

Away from the office, Jim spends time with his five children, participating in outdoor events, and frequently travels to Canada.
