In addition, we can represent you before various regulatory agencies, and help you pursue your unique legal outcomes.

Correctional Health Care

At Sands Anderson, we dedicate our efforts to serving the specific needs of correctional health-care professionals and facilities in the Mid-Atlantic region.

We have years of experience helping correctional facilities navigate complex mandates, regulations, and legal requirements.
