Working from Wheeling and Pittsburgh, she advises health care clients on civil litigation, regulatory matters, and compliance concerns. Her clients include hospitals, nursing homes, behavioral health providers, medical practices, and hospices.

Wilson earned her J.D. from The University of Akron School of Law and her B.S. from West Virginia University. Her firm profile notes that she graduated magna cum laude from the University of Akron. Her legal education supports a practice involving detailed statutory and regulatory frameworks, complex health care records, and high-stakes litigation. That foundation helps her analyze compliance questions, investigate potential exposure, and explain how federal and state requirements may affect a provider’s operational and legal decisions.

Wilson represents health care organizations in matters involving the False Claims Act, Anti-Kickback Statute, Stark Law, Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement, and civil or administrative enforcement. She also handles professional liability, long-term care, insurance litigation, and other disputes connected to health care services. Her work requires combining litigation strategy with an understanding of regulatory requirements, allowing clients to address immediate claims while considering the broader compliance implications of government scrutiny, reimbursement rules, or alleged professional negligence.
