I have had the pleasure of working with the firm Sansweet, Dearden and Burke, Ltd. for over 20 years and Mike Burke and Dave Dearden have represented my company for over 30 years. As the physician president of a medical group consisting of over 120 physicians, I cannot emphasize how instrumental these two individuals have been to our company’s success. Mike has represented our group from the corporate side, drafting literally hundreds of physician and/or executive employment agreements for us. He has drafted or revised all our corporate documents over the years from shareholder agreements to company bylaws and multiple letter agreements. Recently he was instrumental in a 12 month negotiation with our health network which concluded in a 100 page service agreement.
Dave Dearden has also been a pleasure to work with. His expertise in workplace legal issues has made him a long-term trusted advisor to us. Dave has helped us through many legal challenging events that are part of running a large practice and range from FMLA issues to employee termination events and everything in between.
Interacting and benefitting from the expertise of Sansweet, Dearden and Burke, Ltd., a dedicated healthcare law firm, has been a privilege. It is not only their expertise, but also their engaging professional personalities that has made this long-term relationship so valuable to us. If your company is looking for a strong, experienced health care law firm, I strongly recommend you pick up the phone and call these guys.

Jeff Sansweet has been my “go to” for legal advice and direction for over 15 years. He is responsive, thoughtful, balanced, and a wonderful asset. I recommend him and his firm with gratitude – when you need a lawyer you want to know you have the best on your side!
I cannot recommend Michael Burke and his law firm highly enough. As a radiologist navigating complex hospital contracts, I was initially overwhelmed by the legal and administrative details involved. He not only clarified every step of the process but also negotiated terms that truly protected my professional and financial interests.
What impressed me most was his deep understanding of both healthcare law and the practical realities of radiology practice including call coverage, revenue sharing, exclusivity clauses, and compliance with Stark and anti-kickback regulations. Michael Burke anticipated issues I never would have thought of and ensured my agreements were fair, compliant, and future-proof. Thanks to Michael Burke I entered my hospital contracts with total confidence, knowing I had a strong advocate on my side. I would recommend him without hesitation to any physician seeking guidance on hospital service agreements or practice contracts.
