What Laddaga - Garrett, P.A. does

Laddaga-Garrett, P.A. is a privately held South Carolina professional association law firm founded in 1983 by Lawrence A. Laddaga and headquartered in a single office at 7741 Dorchester Road, North Charleston. The firm concentrates its practice on healthcare law and ERISA litigation, serving two core client segments: (1) healthcare providers — including hospitals, physicians, and revenue-cycle stakeholders — needing representation on health claim denials, authorization disputes, medical necessity challenges, managed care contracts, HIPAA compliance, and Medicare/Medicaid reimbursement; and (2) individuals pursuing ERISA appeals and litigation against health plans, disability plans, and retirement-plan sponsors. A smaller probate practice covers wills, advanced directives, and estate administration.

The firm does not operate a proprietary technology platform; service delivery is built on direct attorney consultations, in-person and phone-based engagement, and a content-marketing presence via a blog covering CMS regulations, surprise-billing rules, and ERISA developments. Practice is restricted to South Carolina under the firm's bar licensure. Revenue is generated through traditional professional-services legal fees (likely hourly, though not publicly disclosed), with no publicly disclosed fee schedules, contingency arrangements, or subscription pricing.

Operationally, the firm has two active attorneys (Lawrence A. Laddaga as founder and L. Dale Turner as associate, joined January 2024) following the 2024 retirement of co-founder Linda C. Garrett. The firm holds HFMA-aligned credentials in Patient Accounts and Managed Care and markets its more-than-sixty-years combined attorney experience as its primary differentiator. There are no external investors, no parent company, no subsidiaries, no partnerships or alliances, and no acquisitions in its history.
