ABOUT HL

Hairston Law ("HL") exists to bring peace in the world of healthcare business ownership. We provide custom, cost-effective legal services and non legal solutions that help medical providers and agencies stay compliant and engaged in healthy business relationships. We strive to prevent and resolve inevitable business and employment conflicts through a blend of faith-rooted principles and transformative conflict management skills - so leaders can focus on care, not chaos.


We specialize in healthcare compliance and risk/crisis management, contracts and employment matters, and non-legal P.E.A.C.E.-based leadership coaching to strengthen resilience and trust. As a predominantly virtual firm, we streamline access and communication, making it easy for our clients to get the legal help and non-legal leadership development their agencies need - quickly and affordably. Our clients have access to a private and secure client portal to communicate with their attorney. To learn more about the client portal, click here.


If you want a compassionate, thought-provoking legal team that's easy to communicate with - and uniquely built to protect your healthcare peace of mind - you're in the right place.
