Health Care Litigation, Licensing And Credentialing

I am Richard Q. Hark, Esquire.  PLEASE VISIT my SITE AT www.penncriminaldefense.com

For more than 25 years, a large part of Hark and Hark's practice has been dedicated to representing physicians and other health care professionals and entities in connection with licensing, credentialing for hospital and insurance companies, due process hearings, defense of state and federal criminal proceedings and handling national certification and licensing issues.
