What Dental & Medical Counsel does

Dental & Medical Counsel, PC is a California-based boutique law firm founded in 2006 that provides specialized legal services exclusively to healthcare professionals. The firm serves dentists, physicians, optometrists, veterinarians, chiropractors, physical therapists, dermatologists, and medical spas, with the dental vertical as its primary focus. Its service portfolio spans the full lifecycle of healthcare practice operations, including practice purchases and startups, associate and employment agreements, shareholder and partnership agreements, leasing and real estate, litigation and demand letters, succession and estate planning, corporate formation, employment law, and trademark registration.

The firm operates as a professional services practice with no proprietary technology platform; its value is delivered through attorney expertise, document drafting, and regulatory counsel grounded in California-specific healthcare law (corporate practice of dentistry, ABC Test, non-compete rules, HIPAA/OSHA). The team is approximately 14 members, including founding attorney Ali Oromchian (JD, LL.M.), four additional attorneys, paralegals, and marketing and finance staff, supported by a HubSpot-based marketing infrastructure and a content library of blog articles and whitepapers.

Revenue is generated through professional services fees on retainer and hourly engagement structures typical of legal practice; pricing is not publicly disclosed and the firm offers a complimentary initial consultation. Client acquisition is sales-led, driven by industry referrals (notably the California Dental Association), content marketing, and thought leadership in dental industry publications. In November 2025, the firm entered a flagship strategic partnership with Earned, a wealth management firm for healthcare professionals, integrating DMC's legal services into Earned's national platform and adding access to 4,000 healthcare professional clients. The firm is a private, bootstrapped professional corporation with no external funding.
