Gilchrist Donnell has represented the Division of Medicaid for many years and is a trusted partner in navigating complex regulatory matters and contentious litigation. Most recently, the attorneys at Gilchrist Donnell defended the Division in a dispute involving contract awards to three managed care companies. For more than two years, Brant Ryan and Katie Gilchrist were successful on every level of appeal - ultimately allowing the Division to implement the new contracts and elevate the level of care provided to Medicaid beneficiaries.

I cannot recommend Brant Ryan highly enough. Brant went above and beyond to help me every step of the way. His generosity, patience, and genuine kindness made a stressful situation much easier to navigate. Brant was always prompt in responding to questions and concerns, and his professionalism was evident in every interaction. He took the time to explain things clearly, never made me feel rushed, and consistently demonstrated that he truly cared about my well-being and the outcome of my case. Not only is he an outstanding attorney, but he is also a wonderful person. His compassion, dedication, and commitment to his clients set him apart. I am deeply grateful for his help and would wholeheartedly recommend Brant Ryan and this firm to anyone in need of legal representation.
