Linda Randlett Kollar

Health care providers, particularly those in behavioral health disciplines, rely on Linda Randlett Kollar for the breadth and depth of her experience, legal knowledge, and lawyering skills. More importantly, they value her judgment and pragmatic approach, informed by her background as a social worker and investigator on behalf of abused and neglected children.

As regulatory counsel, Linda advises organizations and individuals in a wide range of licensure, reimbursement, and compliance matters, including administrative hearings, false claims and OIG investigations, subpoena responses, and government reporting. As a litigator in state and federal courts, she represents providers in an array of civil disputes at trial and on appeal, including qui tam actions and writ proceedings. As a business advisor, she helps clients form integrated services, guides them in managed care opportunities and requirements, and negotiates various contracts and agreements.

Whether a straightforward legal question arises or any risk threatens the delivery of patient care, clients call Linda first.

An avid proponent of giving back through pro bono activities, Linda has devoted much of her time to children’s rights and immigration matters, carrying on the work she did with juvenile courts and families before entering the practice. For her efforts, the American Health Lawyers Association recognized Linda as its Pro Bono Champion for 2015.

Linda has also served the community as a judge pro tem for the Los Angeles Superior Court and taught as an adjunct professor at Pepperdine University School of Law. A valued member of the firm, Linda is committed to helping our lawyers enhance their skills and talents as co-chair of HLB’s Professional Development Committee.
