What the record really says.

A paralegal can organize a chart. A nurse can read it.

I have worked the shifts that produce these records, so I know what the entries mean and what a missing entry means. A blood pressure trending the wrong way for three hours, with no documented call to the physician, looks like ordinary paperwork. To a nurse it is the case.

That read is clinical. Organizing the file well does not get you there.

A testifying expert renders opinions in your case and is disclosed, deposed, and cross-examined. I work behind the scenes: reading the full record, building the chronology, identifying the issues, and preparing your team and your experts to do their jobs efficiently.

Most of my work is consulting. I am open to testifying on nursing standard of care in the right matter, and we would discuss that up front rather than partway through, because the role you retain me in affects how you can use my work.

It depends on the role I am retained in, and that determination is yours to make with your own judgment of the rules in your jurisdiction.

As a practical matter, firms typically engage me as a consulting expert, and I work under the direction of counsel. If I am later designated to testify, the materials I relied on generally come into play differently. I raise that distinction at the outset rather than after the file is built, so the decision stays yours.

Both. The record says what it says regardless of who is paying me to read it, and I will tell you when it does not support your theory.

I screen every new matter for conflicts before accepting it.

Work is scoped and quoted in writing before it starts. You approve the number, then I begin. No open-ended meter running in the background.

Cost tracks the size of the record and the depth you need. A merit screen on a single admission is a different project from a chronology across four facilities and six years, and the quote reflects that. If a matter does not warrant the spend, I will say so.

About one week from receipt of a complete record set for most chronologies and reviews. Larger records take longer, and I will tell you the realistic date when I quote the work rather than after I have your file.

Deadline-driven work can be accommodated when it is scheduled in advance.

Encrypted transfer or a secure link from your document system. I can work from paper, PDFs, or a full EMR export.

Records are handled confidentially throughout, stored only as long as the engagement requires, and returned or destroyed at your direction. Please do not send protected health information through the contact form. Reach out first and we will set up a secure channel.
