WASHINGTON, June 27, 2024 (VSNewsNetwork.com) - Lawyers of Distinction has announced that Daniel J. Ocasio, Managing Partner at DJO Whistleblower Law Group, has been certified as a distinguished member of their organization for the third consecutive year.

The Lawyers of Distinction is known as one of the fastest-growing communities of distinguished lawyers in the United States. Membership is granted based on an objective evaluation of an attorney’s qualifications, license, reputation, experience, and disciplinary history.

"We are honored to be recognized by the Lawyers of Distinction for our unwavering commitment to justice,” said Ocasio. “This award is a testament to the dedication of our team and the courage of the whistleblowers who trust us with their stories."

Ocasio is a former government prosecutor who represents whistleblowers in actions under various programs, including the Federal False Claims Act, SEC, CFTC, FCPA, and IRS. Alongside Christopher Piacentile, DJO’s Director of Investigations, Ocasio founded DJO Whistleblower Law Group following their successful respiratory fraud case against Apria Healthcare Group in 2017, which resulted in a $40.5 million settlement.

In 2021, the firm played a crucial role in a case against SuperCare Health, leading to a $3.3 million settlement over allegations of fraud in billing for unnecessary ventilator services. Most recently, in 2024, Ocasio and Piacentile were instrumental in exposing medical billing fraud at Lincare Holdings, securing a $25.5 million settlement.

"Our work in exposing and fighting against fraud is a testament to our team's dedication and commitment,” said Piacentile. “We are part of a community that values integrity and truth in the pursuit of justice. Together, we strive to make a difference through our relentless efforts on each case."

The team at DJO Whistleblower Law Group has successfully filed over 100 cases against major healthcare providers, addressing various types of fraud including managed care insurance fraud, healthcare fraud, respiratory fraud, and pharmaceutical fraud.

“Every case we take on is a step toward a more transparent and just society,” said Ocasio. “This award motivates us to redouble our efforts in supporting and advocating for whistleblowers who seek to hold fraudsters accountable.”
