Her expertise in this field developed through 25 years of broad clinical experience, working with physicians and surgeons in multiple specialty areas. Recognizing a void in the medical resources available to attorneys inspired her to complete intensive training by Vicki Milazzo, RN MSN, JD, a pioneer in the field of legal nurse consulting. Following intense study and passing examination, she was awarded legal nurse consulting certification through the National Alliance of Certified Legal Nurse Consultants. In 2008, Ms. Black demonstrated knowledge, skill, and competence in the field of legal nurse consulting and was awarded certification through the American Association of Legal Nurse Consultants, an LNC credential that is accredited by the American Board of Nursing Specialties.
Our mission is to work as an extension of our clients to expeditiously achieve the most economical approach to revealing pertinent facts of the medical record. We believe that as your Certified Legal Nurse Consultant it is our responsibility to create solutions to help you understand the health care issues involved in your cases. This allows you to focus on the law and concentrate on providing services to your client at the highest levels.
During the pre-trial phase, we concentrate on the documented medical information and assimilate this raw case material into meaning format. We collaborate with our attorney clients as they develop a case strategy and serve as a resource throughout the course of the matter.
Recognizing a void in the medical resources available to attorneys, A Legal Resource Service was established in 2001, to provide comprehensive, professional support to attorneys who deal with issues involving health, illness or injury. Currently, both plaintiff and defense attorneys “tap” into our clinical experience in order to bridge the gap between the medical information and legal aspects of a health-related case. Health-related cases are typically complex, requiring analysis of voluminous medical records and/or related healthcare documents. Our legal nurse consultants translate this technical information into understandable terms; format the information in a manner it can be easily understood and support it with appropriate medical literature or standards of care. We maintain a database of healthcare professional allows which allows us to connect our attorney clients with the appropriate medical / nursing testifying experts.
Medical literature and/or standards of care can make or break a case. We perform medical literature research internally, externally and electronically. Adept to the medical “mumbo-jumbo” we can quickly access the material, translate the highly technical medical information into understandable concepts, provide background documentation on key points and integrate the appropriate medical literature, into the theme of the case.
