Jim Schiffer's law practice draws on his many years of pharmacy and business experience. In 1998, American Druggist Magazine named Mr. Schiffer one of the nation’s most influential pharmacy leaders for his work concerning the activities of Prescription Benefit Management companies, and he has received several national awards from pharmacy organizations for his work on behalf of the profession. Some twenty five years after he became a pharmacist, Mr. Schiffer enrolled in law school; having completed his degree in 2003 his practice is focused on representing businesses, trade associations and individuals in a variety of health care related matters, including government administrative investigations and proceedings, contract and business negotiations, litigations and disputes, and other business matters.
