Fenton Nelson attorneys, Henry Fenton and Dennis
Lee, persuaded the Superior Court of Los Angeles County to issue a stay of the
Medical Board's decision to revoke the medical license of a doctor of internal
medicine and cardiology. The Court
agreed with Mr. Fenton and Mr. Lee's contention that the Medical Board of
California was unlikely to prevail as its underlying administrative decision
was largely based on completely inadmissible and incompetent evidence.

A primary and urgent care physician
was successfully exonerated of all charges in two unrelated cases, which
together endangered his physician’s and surgeon’s certificate. Regarding the
untimely death of a patient, Fenton Nelson was able to show with expert
testimony that there were no repeated or significant deviations from standard

were unwarranted. In the second incident, Fenton Nelson successfully defended
their client from being found culpable for actions committed by another

Lefkowitz agreed, ruling in favor of Fenton Nelson's clients and denying the
City's motion. In a related action filed by Fenton Nelson, Klean is suing
the City for violating the civil rights of the residents of the apartments
