The litigation, first filed in 2011 by nursing home operator Marc Silver, will result in more than $70 million being returned to the federal government and another $25 million to $30 million being awarded to Silver, before attorney fees. Silver, represented by Berger Montague, pursued the case even after the federal government opted not to participate.
"We believed in our case, and that is why we committed so many resources to litigating it. And in the end, you know, I believe that we got a very excellent result. I think the relator had a lot of courage, and so did we for staying with the case, litigating it over that whole period," said Sherrie R. Savett of Berger Montague, who represented Silver.
