Assist in legal matters as a retained expert witness, including examining records and materials, offering verbal consultations, drafting written opinions, and delivering deposition and trial testimony as needed.

Certificates and Affidavits of Merit

Evaluate records to assess the merit of potential cases and identify their strengths and weaknesses. Offer verbal consultations to clients and, when relevant, provide and sign a written certificate indicating whether a deviation from the standard of care has taken place, without committing to being retained as an expert witness.

Consultation Reviews

Examine records to assess the merit of potential cases and identify strengths and weaknesses. Offer a one-time verbal consultation, clarifying complex concepts, exploring alternative case strategies, assisting with trial preparation, and creating technical questions to help clients gain a better understanding of their case, without providing a formal expert opinion or committing to deposition or trial testimony.
