On June 23, 2022, a jury in US District Court in Greenbelt, Maryland returned a not guilty verdict on all counts for Burnham & Gorokhov’s client, Donnie Amis. The prosecution alleged that our client and his co-defendant participated in conspiracies to defraud Medicaid and to illegally recruit patients to a DC dental practice.
