Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Certified Legal Nurse Consultant?

A Certified Legal Nurse Consultant (CLNC) is a registered nurse who's been trained and certified to partner with attorneys in medical litigation.

If I have a paralegal, do I still need a CLNC?

Yes. Not only is a CLNC an expert in the healthcare system, the managed care environment, and deviations from the standards of care or scope of practice, but a CLNC also holds a deep understanding of anatomy, physiology, disease process, injury, treatment, and partners to assist and educate attorney clients and staff.

If I have an MD on my case, do I still need a CLNC?

It’s possible. CLNCs typically offer a more cost effective option for legal and medical education and consultation, ultimately saving you money over the course of your case.

At what point in my case, should I contact a CLNC?

The sooner we can screen your case the better. That way, if we find your case to be non-meritorious, we can help save you the cost of litigation.

What is the cost?

Most of our services are billed hourly. We can give an estimate before we begin. We would love to talk to you personally about our services and what we can provide YOU, based on YOUR CASE and YOUR Budget.

What is Audit Trail Analysis?

We will provide medical record analyzation to determine if records were altered or if events were added later.
