Hi, I'm Angie.
PROTECTING MEDICAL LICENSES & PRACTICES WITH 'ICK'-FREE LEGAL SOLUTIONS
Over nearly a decade of practicing law, I’ve seen what happens when a contract provision, compliance issue, or business decision that seemed small turns into years of litigation, regulatory scrutiny, or an unexpectedly large legal bill. That experience shaped how I practice today: identify what actually matters, explain it in plain English, and give clients a practical way forward.
At Edmonds Law, I help healthcare professionals launch and structure practices, negotiate contracts, navigate employment transitions, strengthen compliance, and solve problems when something has already gone wrong. And because I believe the experience of working with your lawyer matters too, we use flat fees, direct attorney access, and technology that makes getting legal help easier, not harder.
That's what I mean by Lawyering Without the Ick.
When I'm not lawyering, you'll probably find me on a beach, reading the latest whodunnit, or lifting something unnecessarily heavy at the gym.
Trusted Healthcare Compliance Lawyer for Medical Practices in Georgia & New York
In Dr. Jackie's words
Angie set my small medical business up for success by tightening up my contracts and streamlining the process for clients. She was so thorough and asked all of the questions before creating the Patient Services agreement, so it was specific to my business and clients. She was also able to combine forms that I had split up for several documents for clients to sign. Now it's 1 or 2 forms and they are informed and we are covered. I highly recommend working with Edmonds Law Firm!
Dr. Rosell says
Thorough, professional, personable, and an absolute joy to work with are just some of the words I can use to describe the level of service I got from Angelik at Edmonds Law Office. I had such a good experience with the first completed project that I didn't have to think twice about who to go to for the second (and even a potential third) project to help me reach my business goals and objectives. The care, responsiveness, and attention I received from Angelik and her team have earned a client for life.

Dr. Richard Cohen says
Consummate professionals, Angelik and her team have a well-streamlined process to navigate risk management and mitigation in your small business. They're also easily accessible and very responsive, which helps me feel like there aren't any actual emergencies! Contracts with vendors? Internal paperwork for human resources? Start here!
Therapist Bowens says
Working with Attorney Edmonds- Holloway has been an exceptional experience. I approached her for assistance in drafting contracts for therapists, specifically tailored to address the unique client-therapist agreements and ensure the rights of both parties were comprehensively protected. From start to finish, her professionalism, expertise, and attention to detail were truly impressive. Attorney Edmonds-Holloway demonstrated a deep understanding of the nuances involved in creating contracts for therapeutic practices. Her ability to anticipate potential complexities and address them proactively was a testament to her expertise in this specialized area of law. She was thorough in her explanations, ensuring I fully understood every clause and how it applied to both clinical and legal standards. What stood out most was her compassionate approach. She understood the sensitivity of the therapist-client dynamic and made sure the contracts reflected a balance of rights and responsibilities in a way that promotes trust, transparency, and mutual respect. Additionally, her timeliness was remarkable. Deadlines were consistently met without sacrificing the quality of her work. Communication was seamless throughout the process, and she was always quick to respond to questions or provide clarifications, which made the entire collaboration feel smooth and reassuring. I would highly recommend Attorney Edmonds-Holloway to any therapist or practice owner seeking high-quality contract work. Her professionalism, insight, and dedication to her clients' needs make her an invaluable resource for therapists aiming to build a strong and legally sound foundation for their practice
In Amy's own words
I am a business owner and I have had a very good experience with Edmonds Law office. Angelik, my attorney, responds quickly to requests for meetings, and her turn around rate for projects is quick. She gives sound legal advice and is extremely skilled a reviewing and updating contracts. She is also empathetic

Healthcare Compliance Law FAQs at edmonds law office
1) When should I hire a healthcare attorney for my medical practice?
Before the legal question becomes a legal problem. From January through August 2026 alone, nearly 200 New York physicians and 38 Georgia physicians received some form of discipline from their governing boards. Many compliance issues are easier, and far less expensive, to address before a regulator, employee, patient, or business partner is involved. For my clients, being prepared can look like: - Structuring the practice correctly before money starts moving between clinical and non-clinical entities. - Getting the team relationships right before hiring a physician, NP, PA, or other clinician, including compensation, supervision, and exit terms. - Interpreting a new or confusing regulation and translating it into what the practice actually needs to change. - Reviewing a new service or revenue stream before launch to identify billing, scope-of-practice, consent, or compliance issues. - Building patient and employment documents around how the practice actually operates, instead of fixing gaps after a complaint or dispute. You don't need a lawyer involved in every business decision. You need to know which decisions have legal consequences before you make them.
3) Can you review the contracts and compliance documents my medical practice already has?
Yes. If your practice is already operating, you may not need to start over. The first step is figuring out where the actual gaps are. Our Legal Diagnosis and AuditShield audits are designed to evaluate your existing contracts, policies, and compliance systems against how your practice operates today and where you plan to take it next. In either audit, we identify and prioritize your biggest legal and compliance risks based on your practice type and expansion goals, so you know what needs attention now, what can wait, and where your legal budget is best spent. The goal is a clear roadmap for strengthening what you already have, rather than replacing documents just for the sake of replacing them.
2) What legal documents and compliance policies does a physician practice actually need?
It depends on how you practice. A solo psychiatrist, concierge physician, aesthetics practice, and multi-provider medical practice shouldn’t all have the same legal documents. Depending on your model, you may need patient consents, HIPAA policies, employment agreements, supervision or delegation documents, MSO agreements, or other compliance systems. I start with how your practice actually works, identify the biggest risks, and prioritize what you need now versus what can wait. No 47-document legal starter pack just because we can. You should pay for legal work that solves an actual problem.
4) What is it like to work with a healthcare attorney at Edmonds Law?
In one word: Streamlined. Working with a lawyer shouldn’t create another project for you to manage. I’ve designed our process to require as little of your time as possible. Once you hire Edmonds Law, you’ll receive a private booking link, a few focused intake forms, and a clear deadline for when you can expect your work to be completed. You provide the information I need, and I take it from there. You’ll work directly with me, not get passed between layers of associates. I review the details, spot issues you may not have considered, and translate the legal pieces into practical decisions you can actually make. As former clients have put it, “She thought of things I hadn’t,” and "Angie is able to take complicated legal concepts and help me craft a practical solution forward." Technology keeps the administrative side simple, but the legal work stays personal. A few intake forms from you. The research, drafting, issue-spotting, and recommendations from me.
