Case Types
Where a medical eye changes the outcome
I work for both defense and plaintiff, as a testifying expert or as a non-testifying consulting expert with work product protection. Most often that means criminal defense attorneys, public defenders, personal injury attorneys, and medical malpractice attorneys.
Criminal Defense
Objective medical record review and defense case support in matters involving injury, death, and complex medical or mental health issues — including cross-examination questions for investigating officers, treating providers, and state experts.

Cost control
When a specialist is the better expert
If I am not the best final expert to report or testify on a particular issue, my broad clinical background can still move the case most of the way forward while helping control costs. I complete the initial review, organize the file, narrow the medical questions, and help locate an appropriate specialist when that best serves the client — focusing on local experts whenever possible to save both expense and time. If you already have someone you prefer, I'll hand off a clean, streamlined record so their hours go further.
Case Assessment
The time to dig into the medical records isn't the week before the deposition.
Bring me in early and the medical questions get answered while there is still time to use the answers. Email or call to schedule a case assessment — or just to talk through what you're looking at and make those records make sense.
