Services
Every service I offer is rooted in real clinical experience. I've worked these cases from the medical side — and now I work them for you. Here's how I can support your legal team.
1
IME & Independent Exam Observation
★ Signature Service
Independent medical exams and workers' compensation evaluations carry significant weight in litigation — and what happens in that room matters. I attend these exams as an objective clinical observer, documenting the examiner's conduct, the exam components performed, the time spent, and any discrepancies between the reported findings and what actually occurred.
​
As a clinician with emergency and flight medicine experience, I know what a thorough physical exam looks like. I know what questions should be asked, what systems should be assessed, and how findings should be documented. My written observation reports are detailed, organized, and built to support your legal strategy.
​
This is a service that few legal nurse consultants offer — and attorneys who have used it tell me it changes how they approach these cases.

Audit Trail Evaluation & Analysis
Electronic health records leave a paper trail that most people don't know how to read — but I do. Audit trail data captures every time a record is accessed, edited, added to, or deleted, along with timestamps and the user credentials attached to each action. In cases involving disputed documentation, late entries, altered records, or questions about when information was actually entered, audit trail analysis can be the difference between a strong case and an unresolvable one.
I review audit trail data alongside the corresponding medical records to identify inconsistencies, flag entries that don't align with the clinical timeline, and present findings in a clear, attorney-ready format. This is a specialized skill that few legal nurse consultants offer — and in the right case, it's one of the most powerful tools available.

Medical Record Review for Case Merit
Before investing resources in a case, you need to know whether the clinical record supports it. I conduct thorough, impartial reviews of medical records to assess case viability — evaluating the timeline of care, the actions taken (and not taken), and whether the documentation aligns with accepted standards.
I deliver a clear written assessment so you know exactly where you stand.

Standards of Care Analysis
What should have happened? That's often the central question in medical malpractice and personal injury cases. I analyze the clinical actions and decisions documented in the record and compare them against accepted nursing and medical standards — identifying where care deviated and what those deviations mean for your case.
5
Medical Chronologies & Case Timelines
Large volumes of medical records can make it difficult to see the full picture. I organize events into clear, structured chronologies that highlight key clinical moments, identify gaps, and present the sequence of care in a format your legal team can use immediately.
6
Documentation Review
Inconsistent, missing, or backdated documentation can be pivotal in litigation. I review records across providers and facilities for gaps, contradictions, unsigned entries, and entries that don't align with the clinical narrative — and I present those findings clearly and specifically.
7
Narrative Summary Reports
A well-written narrative summary translates complex medical information into language that serves your case. I prepare clear, structured reports that explain the clinical picture, identify areas of concern, and support your legal arguments — written for an attorney audience, not a medical one.
8
Expert Witness Identification & Support
When your case requires expert witness testimony, I can help identify qualified medical professionals in the relevant specialty, prepare background questions and materials, and review expert reports for clinical accuracy and consistency with the record.
9
Medical Record Organization
Disorganized records slow everything down. I sort, label, and organize records from hospitals, clinics, EMS providers, and specialty services into a structured format that makes case preparation faster and more efficient for your entire team.
10
Emergency, Trauma & EMS Case Expertise
Cases involving emergency care, trauma response, and prehospital EMS present unique clinical questions that require specialized knowledge. With over two decades in ERs, ICUs, flight programs, and prehospital care, I bring direct experience to these case types — including understanding of EMS protocols, documentation requirements, and scope of practice.
