Things to Consider When Hiring a Legal Nurse Consultant:

Communication

1. You want to ensure your Legal Nurse Consultant is a good communicator because that is precisely what you are hiring him/her to do; communicate your case in a language that is easy to understand and can be utilized before a judge, jury, or another attorney to promote an outcome in your favor.

2. Your Legal Nurse Consultant needs to understand your needs and provide only those services necessary to assist you in building a strong case with the goal of a successful resolution. 

3. Your Legal Nurse Consultant should be willing to learn your case, inside and out, providing efficient and effective communication, ensuring cost-effectiveness and time-saving approaches in the litigation process.

As time is money, a concise understanding of your needs and expectations is critical in providing only the services you want, and communicating in the manner and time-frame you request.

Professional Network

Your Legal Nurse Consultant must have a professional network upon which to draw necessary experts, often crucial to the case.  You want a Legal Nurse Consultant who has access to experts in a variety of fields; the more resources you have at your fingertips, the more thoroughly your case will be covered.

As your Legal Nurse Consultant, I have access to a vast network of experts, and can quickly and effectively identify, locate, and evaluate the necessary experts.  In addition, I can serve as your liaison to these experts, conferring with them as necessary on the medical aspects of the case.

Technology

Technology can equal power.  It allows lawyers to get things done efficiently, effectively, and thoroughly.  Your Legal Nurse Consultant should be knowledgeable and have access to up-to-date technologies to properly prepare for and execute a case.
