Alvin & Associates, Legal Nurse Consultants offers services of medical record review, expert witness location, & demonstrative evidence production
A Legal Nurse Consultant is a Registered Nurse who uses their years of experience and education in the medical field to provide comprehensive reviews and analysis of medical records and medical-legal issues. Legal Nurses can act as a fact witness or locate expert witnesses for testimony. Nurses receive advanced training in the area of medical record review and can provide valuable information to attorneys, insurance companies, government agencies, healthcare organizations, and other organizations. Legal Nurse Consultants review and analyze medical records, detect tampering in medical records, offer assistance with or create demonstrative evidence, evaluate medical information, and provide professional nursing opinions regarding the causation of injuries and the assessment of damages to individuals. Legal Nurse Consultants can interview witnesses under the direction of an attorney to help expose the truth in cases.

Legal Nurses can also recognize signs of tampering within the patients’ charts and records to cover up mistakes.
