To properly represent a client, a lawyer must understand the client’s goals, desires, fears and motivations. I strive to build lasting relationships with my clients that allow me to develop practical and efficient solutions to the problems they face.

Mr. Croce focuses his practice in the field of healthcare. His work includes representing clients in hospital reimbursement matters before the Department of Health and the Division of Medical Assistance and Health Services. He provides counsel on issues related to contracting, civil litigation and professional licensing matters, and represents a variety of healthcare industry clients including physicians, dentists, hospitals and for-profit and non-profit healthcare systems. 

Mr. Croce has extensive experience representing healthcare facilities throughout New Jersey in seeking to have permanent and/or special medical guardians appointed to make necessary decisions for patients and residents who lack capacity to make decisions on their own and do not have an appropriate surrogate decision maker in place, including interfacing with the New Jersey Office of the Public Guardian in connection with such applications.

Mr. Croce also has substantial experience defending attorneys and other licensed professionals against claims of malpractice and ethics grievances.
