Garfunkel Wild, P.C. (GW) is pleased to announce that its founding partner and chairman Robert Andrew Wild and its partner/director Fredrick I. Miller were selected by their peers once again for inclusion in The Best Lawyers in America ® 2012 under the specialty of Health Care Law. Robert Wild has been listed since 1991 and Fred Miller since 2009.
Since its inception in 1983, Best Lawyers has become universally regarded as the definitive guide to legal excellence. Because Best Lawyers is based on an exhaustive peer-review survey in which more than 39,000 leading attorneys cast almost 3.1 million votes on the legal abilities of other lawyers in their practice areas, and because lawyers are not required or allowed to pay a fee to be listed, inclusion in Best Lawyers is considered a singular honor. Corporate Counsel magazine has called Best Lawyers the most respected referral list of attorneys in practice.
Robert Andrew Wild, founding partner and chairman of GW, represents an array of national and regional health care provider institutions, companies, practitioners and not-for-profit groups, as well as clients in other industries.

He was formerly an adjunct professor of health law at Hofstra University Law School and Assistant Clinical Professor of Health Law at Stony Brook University.
Along with being included on the Best Lawyers list for 20 years, Robert Wild has also been selected for inclusion in Super Lawyers and Chambers and Partners as America's leading business lawyer in Health Care for the past several years. He is a frequent lecturer and author in the field of health care law and has addressed a broad variety of professional organizations and health care providers.
Appointed in 2009, he is currently Board Chair for United Way of Long Island and is a Director of the Nassau Interim Finance Authority (NIFA). He also serves on the Advisory Board of United Cerebral Palsy of Nassau County and on the Board of St. John's Law School Alumni Association.
