Hmmm… Looks like Dr. Gary likes to dabble on the dark side.

Mutual Referrals Between Law Firm and Medical Clinics Lead to Lawsuit

“The law firm, Winters & Yonker, has a habit of directing its personal injury plaintiff clients to a particular chain of medical clinics owned by Gary Kompothecras, a chiropractor who also runs 1-800-ASK-GARY, a “medical and lawyer referral service” operating in Florida.”

The deal allegedly works like this: The law firm steers its client to Kompothecras’ clinics, which don’t accept health insurance; the clinics get the first chunk of their charges from the personal injury coverage that is a mandatory part of auto insurance policies; then, the remainder of fees come right out of any settlement or verdict, guaranteed by a “letter of protection” executed by the law firm.

See #26.
