“Nena does outstanding work. I’m a lawyer whose practice involves personal injury. I get Nena involved in my significant high-exposure cases with complex medical issues and she has always given me great reports, analysis and recommendations. Most importantly, she explains the medical problems and treatment in a way that lay people can understand, which is critical to lawyers trying to do the same for jurors. My clients have been thrilled with her work and the results we’ve gotten with her expertise on board. I highly recommend Nena!”
“She has helped me turn the tide in two personal injury cases where she reviewed medical records and organized a comprehensive grid of medical treatment. She is platinum.”
“I employed Nena to help me locate some experts in the medical field. Not only was Nena prompt, she was tenacious and after me. Nena provided me with several options to choose from, and she did the ground work I did not have time to do. One issue in the legal nurse consulting field is the ability for the nurse to fully understand the issues and be able to relate that to the case and the experts. Nena had no problem with that, and she was able to find the expert we needed. Based on my experience with Nena, I would highly recommend her to other attorneys who need nurse consulting work or someone to locate a highly qualified expert for a case.”
“Nena Hester is a vastly experienced registered nurse and health care professional, and has applied that knowledge superbly as a certified legal nurse consultant. She has consulted with a number of lawyers colleagues of mine, and her reviews have been outstanding. I wholeheartedly recommend Nena as a consultant on personal injury and professional malpractice cases, whether you represent plaintiffs or defendants. You will get the same objective, professional and honest evaluation of the strengths and weaknesses of your case retrospectively.”
“I have worked with Ms. Hester on several cases and I can tell you that your money will be well spent. Ms. Hester is extremely organized and she gets to the point of the case quickly. The quality of the experts she has located for me has been outstanding. Nena Hester understands what medical malpractice lawyers need and she delivers. You won’t be disappointed.”
“I have utilized Ms. Hester for a number of years, and could not be happier with the quality of work that she has done for our firm. Nena is extremely thorough in her review of records and has been able to pinpoint complex medical issues that many nurse consultants I have used would have missed. Also, Nena has been extremely successful in finding and vetting quality expert witnesses. I would highly recommend her to any law firm aiming to better understand and more efficiently handle medical issues in litigation.”
“My supervisor and I reviewed your report this morning and it is fabulous! Exactly what I needed for tomorrow! I will let you know if it settles, but I anticipate that it won’t and there will be more records for you. Another compliment for you….your reports are proof-read and well edited. One of my supervisor’s pet peeves are professional reports with typos, and your reports are so well done. He was really impressed.”
