The Pacific Health Law Group is a boutique law practice focusing on the legal needs of healthcare professionals. We assist doctors to support their practices from formation of their first practice, through to the sale, and everything in between. Our focus on doctors' needs, and only doctors' needs, allows us to provide our clients with informative, effective, and cost-efficient legal solutions.
Give us a call, we are here to help. We take pride in adding value to our clients' practices by having a specialized knowledge of their industry. Visit our Blog, stay connected and stay informed. This is part one of a two-part series examining the most important points a dentist should understand to accomplish a successful transition.

Services
Committed to empower you with clarity, confidence, and peace of mind when building your healthcare practice. Our firm's goal is simple; to protect our clients' practices so that they can thrive both in their businesses and their professions. Why we do what we do is just as clear: We love being a partner in our clients' success.
Never let the future disturb you. You will meet it, if you have to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against the present. For doctors in California with a need to smoothly start or transition your practice, Levi Barlavi is a top, trusted attorney committed to empower you with clarity, confidence, and peace of mind throughout the process.
We bring our interests to the office, discussing family, music, and arts with our clients. Most healthcare providers graduate professional school with two objectives in mind, to (1) provide great treatment to their patients, and (2) secure their own financial future in the process. Given the tremendous work doctors put into becoming licensed and the steep cost of professional school, these are worthy goals.
We bring our interests to the office, discussing family, music and arts with our clients. There are few moments in the successful road of a professional career that are more precious (and potentially stressful) than a practice transition.
Whether it is a young veterinarian buying his first practice, a junior doctor buying into a medical partnership, or a seasoned dentist looking to expand her practice with the help of private equity partners, a practice transition represents a milestone to be celebrated, but also a career crossroad fraught with liabilities.
Whether it is a young veterinarian buying his first practice, a junior doctor buying into a medical partnership, or a seasoned dentist looking to expand her practice with the help of private equity partners, a practice transition represents a milestone to be celebrated, but also a career crossroad fraught with liabilities.
We bring our interests to the office, discussing family, music and arts with our clients. Whether a doctor is the sole shareholder of a professional corporation or practices within a group practice, all healthcare businesses require strong operational contracts to mitigate liabilities. In a heavily litigious time, the days of establishing and maintaining business relationships based on a handshake are long gone.

I've worked with several lawyers in the past for dental office related issues and Mr. Barlavi is by far the best! He took his time
to understand my needs, always left space for me to ask questions and explained every step of the process with detail and in terms a non-lawyer can understand.
Can't recommend enough!

Going thru my second practice acquisition I was searching for an attorney that was very knowledgeable and thorough. Mr. Levi came highly recommended by many of my peers. After the initial interview I knew he would be the best of having his clients interest in mind and simplifying the tedious contract and the process. As an added bonus, which I had no idea was possible, he got me a reduced rent from what the current owner was paying. That in itself paid for Levi's services! I am also very pleased with his communication and availability. I have recommended him to my peers and will continue

I not only recommend Mr. Levi Barlavi who is a Health Law Attorney, but I guarantee once you have used his service you too will look no further. He responds in an extreme timely matter, he is a very knowledge, trustworthy person. There is no other attorney that will work as hard for you. Mr. Levi was selected on recommendation from a trusted friend and was some of the "Best" advice I have ever received.
I'd trust him with anything, do not hesitate to call him.

Great experience! Levi was prompt, professional, and did an amazing job combing my employment contract and identifying points of liability. He has extensive knowledge about partnership track discussions which were so very much appreciated, and will be helping craft a corporation and ultimately the legal structure of my concierge medical practice. Love the ease of his online scheduling platform as well; having an attorney that is so easily accessible and responsive is truly invaluable.

Levi is very professional and easy to work with. I needed to review my contract and he made himself available despite my short notice. He went through the employment agreement throughly and answered all my questions. The most important aspect of his work was that I felt he cared about my concerns and did not dismiss my points. I highly recommend him and I look forward to working with him in the future.

I used Levi for a dental practice acquisition. This was my second, but first time using his office. The whole process from start to finish was seamless and he was a consummate professional. Most notably was his knowledge regarding all the intricacies of the deal. He was also very attentive and listened to my concerns. This was not the case on my first acquisition (where I did not use his office). I will be using his office moving forward. Thanks Levi!

I am an ophthalmologist opening a practice in Los Angeles, CA. I had the pleasure of working with Levi throughout the legal process of office space acquisition.
From the beginning, I could tell that Levi was cut from a different cloth; his skills, passion, attention to detail, and personality was different than any attorney I've worked with in the past. Levi is VERY good at what he does! He made the entire process of finding office space and finalizing a deal seamless. I have and will continue to refer Levi to my colleagues seeking his legal expertise.
Without hesitation, I recommend Levi

My bank highly recommended Levi at Pacific Health Law Group. I am very pleased and grateful that I got to work with Levi! Prior to starting the incorporation process, Levi took the time to answer all of my questions and was very patient with me. He is generous of his time and has been open to continue to answer my questions throughout the process. Levi is very professional and is quick to follow up each time I have a question. Levi helped me to feel that he was supportive from the very start to the finish of getting incorporated. Levi is a fantastic attorney. I HIGHLY recommend him, because

I had consulted the lead attorney for help with a contract review for my job. It seemed like a standard contract, but he was frank in explaining to me why I would and would not want to have it reviewed. I decided to have my contract reviewed and he was efficient and professional. What impressed me the most was that our phone conversation was just under 11 minutes, and he billed for exactly 10.8 minutes of time. The services are expensive, but it is good to know that the lead attorney is a honorable professional who is a good steward of your time and finances. He did not round up, or have a minimum

I am without doubt pleased with my services in regards to Levi and the Pacific Health Law Group. I was referred by a friend and I can definitely say it was an EXCELLENT decision. I primarily used Levi for setting up my S-corporation and contract negotiations/review upon taking a new job. He was very meticulous and prompt in going over the contract and was readily available for my calls and questions. The office are staff are extremely courteous and their communication is amazing. I was constantly getting email updates as to the status of everything. If you're looking for an excellent healthcare

I was lucky enough to have a colleague recommend working with Levi to help in my optometry practice purchase. The experience was positive in every way. Levi was professional, tactful, ethical, highly knowledgeable and very experienced. We had many obstacles present along the way but I always felt that I was in good hands with Levi helping me navigate unfamiliar waters in a stressful time. As a first time practice buyer I underestimated how crucial having a good attorney would be, but was lucky enough that I'd decided to work with Levi. Highly recommend him!

I cannot say enough good things about Levi! I recently acquired a dental practice, and I'll be honest, I was hesitant at first to hire an attorney for the transition. Now that I am on the other side as a business owner, I have to say it was one of my best investments to work with Levi and his team. He is very thorough and is always available when you need him, and really makes the whole process smooth from start to finish. He is well worth it and goes above your expectations. I highly recommend Levi and Pacific Health Law Group!

UPDATE:
I’m writing to share my most recent experience with Levi. I’ve recently finished signing for my second location and both have had challenges in the negotiation process. This is the 2nd time that I’ve used Levi. The challenges during our negotiation were difficult and time consuming ones that I don’t think typically occur. I’m writing because even with the difficulty, Levi was there to educate, guide and help represent my best interests. Since extra time was needed, I was worried that my interests wouldn’t be represented well. However, Levi went above and beyond to bring out

Levi was a tremendous help during my practice acquisition. He guided me through the entire process, was very quick to reply to any question I had and was very easy to work with in general. He works quickly, respects your timeline and is incredibly thorough with his work.
He has lots of experience with dental practice transitions and knows how to protect his client when drafting and reviewing the sales agreement. I would highly recommend Levi to all my colleagues. Thanks Levi!

Levi Barlavi is the consummate professional. I don't know how many clients he has, I'm sure he has a lot (deservedly so), but he gives you so much personal attention, he makes you feel like you're his only client. Other attorneys in this niche might make you communicate through their legal assistants. This leads to a lot of miscommunication. It did for me, and that's why I switched to Levi from some other guy (who ended up taking it really personally, unfortunately).
I had a really good experience with Levi and Pacific Health Law Group. Levi will patiently walk you through the steps of a practice

I can't thank Levi enough for his excellent work in helping me acquire my first dental practice.
I was living in LA and needed assistance in buying my practice in San Diego. Levi is an expert in this field, and has extensive experience in helping Professionals. Sometimes in these transactions, there is no advocate for the buyer. There is no one to turn to for advice and to look out for your best interest. I was so thankful to have Levi represent me and protect my rights in such a large investment. He is accessible, reliable, and truly took care of me with the sale and lease by adding extra protection
