WHY DO YOU NEED A LEGAL NURSE CONSULTANT?

What does a legal nurse consultant do? How does a legal nurse consultant benefit your firm? Are we worth the cost?

A legal nurse consultant can be used as an outside resource to support your firm on a case-by-case basis...whether you need a merit screening, medical chronology of events, procurement of a testifying expert, or a nurse advocate to attend your Defense Medical Exam, Portside has you covered! Don’t waste your time and money having your cases looked over by an MD when our team of Legal Nurse Specialists can cost-effectively provide the service. We offer a free consultation so we can explore how best to benefit your firm.

My firm has been successful without a legal nurse consultant. Why should we use one now?

Every minute your team spends combing through stacks of medical records or searching for the best testifying expert are minutes that could be dedicated to the legal aspects of your case. Efficiency is critical in the litigation world and, your time is valuable! Let Portside’s team of Legal Nurse Specialists add hours to your day...hours that you can use to increase your caseload, spend time with your family, or pursue the hobbies that you love.

I have a strong, meritorious case. How can a legal nurse consultant benefit me?

In meritorious cases, we frequently find issues that make them highly defensible such as contributory negligence, co-morbidities, and undiagnosed medical conditions. These factors lead to a quicker settlement before more money is wasted. Let Portside be your compass to guide you to your case's real strengths and weaknesses.

How can legal nurse consultants help me as a criminal defense attorney?

Our team has forensic nurses who will discover the hidden yet vital medical complexities in your homicide, child/elder abuse, DUI, domestic violence, or assault and battery cases. In addition, we have certified SANE (Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner) forensic consultants who can decipher rape kit information and provide expert opinions.
