At Burgeon Legal, we believe in action. It’s what happens when an insurmountable obstacle is overcome by just doing something. It’s changing the status quo. Not accepting “no” for an answer. From the firm’s beginning, Burgeon Legal has set out to help you – our partners – secure a payor source for their residents while simultaneously maximizing their facilities’ recovery either through private funds, government benefits, or both.
