Expert Review &
Consultation
Every case begins with a comprehensive expert review and consultation. This includes a detailed analysis of medical records and any other relevant discovery materials. Once the review is complete, we’ll schedule a phone consultation to discuss findings, share expert opinions, and answer any initial questions. This is where our collaboration begins. As the attorney, you play a key role in shaping the next steps, whether that’s requesting a written report, preparing for trial, locating additional experts, or planning for testimony. Together, we build a strategy that supports your case with clarity and confidence.
Expert Witness
Testimony
Our expert witness services provide essential support for legal proceedings by offering specialized knowledge and opinions that help the court understand complex matters. We employ experts with extensive experience and qualifications in their respective fields. Their role is to provide impartial analysis and opinions based on scientifically proven research and professional expertise, ensuring the highest level of objectivity and trust in our services.
Expert Witness
Services
We will search for professionals who specialize in the specific area relevant to your case, considering their location, costs, and availability for the trial date. A nurse will then conduct a preliminary assessment of each expert, briefly discussing the case’s facts. Following this, the nurse will provide a detailed letter summarizing their impressions and recommendations regarding which expert they believe would best fit the case’s needs.
Trial Support
Our trial support services provide immediate access to a medical professional at any case stage, including attending the trial in person or virtually. Our nurses offer real-time support with questions and can help redirect the line of questioning, providing reassurance and security throughout the trial. They can also offer comments and recommended questions for cross-examination electronically in real time, ensuring a cost-effective solution.
Trial Questions
If live trial support isn’t available, our skilled nurses can provide direct or cross-examination trial questions to help prepare your witness or anticipate the opposing counsel’s cross-examination. They are experienced in extracting information from experts and can help the attorney prepare for expected rebuttals by providing credible sources.
Written Report
As experts who testify in court, we are often requested to write reports summarizing our opinions. We take pride in the quality of our reports and aim to exceed our client’s expectations. All our reports will include pertinent medical records or other relevant documents.
