“Bravo to Sherman Marek, the lawyer who is taking on resident training, the indentured servant system in today’s medical establishment. . . Sleep-deprived residents provide nearly free labor. . . but at a great cost to themselves. . . Both patients and resident doctors deserve better.”

Your Path Back to a Successful Medical Career

Marek Health Law advocates for medical students and residents facing actions that could derail their medical careers. We specialize in the intersection of academic performance, disciplinary action, employment law, due process, program funding requirements, and accreditation standards—areas where traditional legal frameworks often fall short.

Our approach is strategic and assertive, whether the issue is remediation, probation, suspension, non-renewal, dismissal, or any other critical difficulty. We represent clients in internal proceedings, file appeals and grievances, and pursue government agency complaints or litigation when necessary.

Each case is different, but the goal is the same: to protect your future in medicine.

Steen Kadison is an amazing lawyer. He helped me every step of the way and did a phenomenal job. I would recommend him to anyone. The associates of Marek Health Law do a wonderful job, they always go out of their way to help me.

They helped me through a situation that I never thought I’d be in. The reality is that there are bullies in this world. There are people who enjoy hurting others for no good reason. Lawyers often get bad press, but I thank God I had an advocate who was on my side. Without him, my professional career would have been hurt for no justifiable reason.

The firm and its lawyers represented me aggressively in litigation filed in Louisiana federal court over my improper dismissal from a residency program. They are very experienced in this area and will no doubt maximize the chances of success. It is a tough road, fighting huge academic medical centers, but these lawyers are willing and able to do it. Many thanks!

The firm was highly effective in representing me for years in Weisman v. Barnes Jewish Hospital and Washington University, a very contentious action brought in Missouri federal court over the circumstances of my separation from the Anesthesiology program at these institutions. In fact, Sherman Marek and I co-founded the predecessor of Marek Health Law to bring this expertise to other oppressed medical students and residents. I recommend this firm to anyone who runs into a dispute with their school or hospital.
