Thank you for visiting. If you are looking for superior assistance in a case, or a potential case, involving medical malpractice or nursing home negligence, you are in the right place. I can help you anywhere along the way, from interpreting charts and records to clarifying issues to preparing your case for trial or settlement negotiation. At any point in the litigation process - whether you're wondering if your case is worth pursuing (or whether a potential plaintiff has a case) or approaching jury deliberation - MedicoLegal Consulting of Alabama provides unsurpassed, first-hand medical experience uniquely combined with knowledge of the law to give you and your client the best chance for a favorable outcome.

What I do:

I review everything and help you build or defend your case, e.g. anticipating and providing counters to likely defenses or theories. I will provide you as detailed a report and summary as is called for, and give you clear information on standards of care and where they were or weren't met. I make myself available to you 24/7 for consultation during settlement negotiations or trial.

My law school experience included trial practice, alternative dispute resolution, and student law office.

What distinguishes me from doctors who perform record reviews is that, having been to law school, I know the law and can provide more specialized assistance in case building.  I not only dissect the medical aspects of the case and provide pointed information on what happened, but I can also tell clients and their attorneys where and how to use the information I provide.
