Concentrating primarily in the areas of medical malpractice and legal malpractice defense, Karen P. Holland has over twenty years of experience representing a cross-section of healthcare professionals, including individual health care providers, hospitals, long term care facilities, clinics, same day surgery centers, and their various insurers

.Ms. Holland’s defense methods include a thorough, determined and vigorous defense of the medical professional throughout the pre-litigation medical review panel phase to conclusion. She has a deep understanding that suggesting alternative methods to reach a solution helps the client maintain control over the process. This also allows for the earliest possible successful resolution of the claim for her clients in the most cost-effective manner possible.

When defending health care professionals and facilities in the New Orleans area and throughout Louisiana, Ms. Holland is involved in all phases of those actions, including medical review panel proceedings, litigation, appeals and administrative/disciplinary proceedings brought before the Louisiana State Board of Medical Examiners and other medical licensing agencies. She has represented a wide range of individual health care providers, including physicians, nurses, physical therapists, CRNAs, occupational therapists, nurse practitioners, chiropractors, home health care agencies and psychologists.

Expanding her focus beyond medical professionals, Ms. Holland also defends attorneys against legal malpractice claims before the Louisiana Office of Disciplinary Counsel and in litigation matters. Other professional liability practices include the defense of real estate agents and brokers and insurance agents and adjusters.

“My practice includes a thorough, determined and vigorous defense of all clients, including the medical and legal professional, with the goal of achieving the earliest possible resolution of the claim or complaint in the most cost-effective manner possible.”
