Laura Ellis, Legal Nurse Consultant

I'm Laura Ellis, a Registered Nurse with over 25 years clinical experience, and a member of the AALNC, (American Association of Legal Nurse Consultants). As a Legal Nurse Consultant, I bring my healthcare knowledge and clinical experience to the medically related issues of a litigation process, acting as an invaluable liaison between the legal and healthcare communities, including hospitals, nursing homes, clinics and physicians offices. Leveraging my thorough understanding of the healthcare system, I help you handle your cases more efficiently and develop strategies for improved case outcomes.

Working Behind-The-Scenes For Your Case

My behind-the-scenes services include essential organization and analysis of the medical records intrinsic to your case, which I can provide in a format of your choosing: a chronological summation of the records, a narrative report, or a detailed timeline of the case's issues. With my in-depth knowledge of clinical healthcare issues, I provide meticulous medical research to support your case's strategy.

I also help you determine if further experts are necessary to your case, and, if so, I can identify the facets of litigation which need their attention, minimizing the cost of physician expert witnesses. With my extensive network of contacts in the healthcare field, I can quickly locate and help procure the services of appropriate medical experts.
