Attorneys don’t lose medically complex cases because the medicine is too hard. They lose them because the answer was buried on page 412 of the chart and nobody caught it in time.

I read the medical record the way the defense hopes you won’t: I find where the standard of care broke, build the timeline that proves it, and tell you honestly when a case has no merit.

I am a registered nurse with adult emergency department and cardiac telemetry experience at a major Los Angeles hospital. The events I manage clinically — recognizing deterioration, responding to codes, documenting in the EHR in real time — are the same events that become failure to monitor, failure to rescue, and delayed treatment litigation. I know how charts are built because I build them every shift, and I know where the holes hide because I’ve seen how they happen.

Services for Attorneys

Merit Screening

A fast, candid, flat fee assessment of whether the medicine supports the claim — before you commit expert dollars. Sometimes the answer is “this case is strong, here’s where.” Sometimes it’s “save your money.” Both protect your bottom line.

Medical Record Review & Analysis

Records organized, indexed, and summarized, with gaps, inconsistencies, late entries, and missing documentation flagged.

Medical Chronologies

Clean, attorney ready timelines, every entry cited to the record, that turn 600 pages of chart into the story of the case.

Standard of Care Analysis

Identification of deviations and departures with supporting clinical context, focused on nursing and hospital care.

Missing Record Identification

What should exist in the chart but doesn’t, and exactly where to request it — before the gap becomes a problem at deposition.

Deposition & Discovery Support

Medically grounded questions for witnesses and experts, and plain English translation of terminology, labs, and clinical events for your team.

Case Focus

Plaintiff and defense engagements welcome. Adult cases only.

Credentials

Engagement

Hourly billing with a written fee agreement and itemized invoicing. Flat fee merit screens available as a low risk first engagement. Typical turnaround for an initial record screen is 3 to 5 business days. Strict confidentiality; conflict of interest screening on every case.
