The Right Medical Expert Witness Matters

We connect attorneys with expert medical consultants nationwide

Truth, Justice, and Accountability in Medicine. For the past 38 years, that has been my passion. We provide the legal profession with the highest-caliber medical experts to assist with the many levels of your medical malpractice, personal injury, birth injury, wrongful death, toxic tort and criminal cases that need medical expert testimony. From the initial review for merit to providing expert trial testimony, our experts are prepared to teach the attorney the medicine and help coordinate the medical aspects of your case, including assistance with deposition and trial preparation. We think of ourselves as part of your team. Your success is our success.

Our goal has never been accumulating huge lists of names of medical experts and charging attorneys for providing their names and moving on. We are here for you. When a hedge fund or large company owns an expert referral service, it’s not about the case; it’s about the money.

Our focus is and has always been on doing the best job for our attorneys and their clients. I have worked for 38 years building relationships with medical malpractice and personal injury attorneys, and with the most highly qualified medical and nursing professionals who have a sincere desire to keep the standards of medical care and the practice of law high. We make a difference.
