Business  Vision

Legal Nurse Consulting Solution's vision is to uphold the standards for the health care community by identifying meritorious cases and communicating deviations from recognized standards, resulting in improved quality of care and promote justice.

Mission  Statement

Legal Nurse Consulting Solution is dedicated to setting a standard of excellence by providing ethical, timely, professional, and cost effective service to my clients.

Core  Values

I will treat every client and case professionally, respectfully and with integrity.

My 13 years of nursing experience, plus my CLCN Certification, I will help you win cases; save you time and expenses by identifying nonmeritorious cases.

As a Director Of Nursing in a skilled long term care facility for 7+ years, I was responsible for directing all aspects of the Nursing Department, knowledgeable of the inner working of long term care facilities which qualifies me to quickly and cost effectively review your cases involving long term care issues and help with locating expert witnesses.

Nearly 1 1/2 years of providing clinical care on a medical/surgical floor, labor and delivery and the Emergency Room, plus the use of my CLNC Medical Literature Research Strategies qualifies me to research material and provide education on basic health care cases so you can focus your time and energy on other aspects of the case.

My nursing experience with reviewing medical records and working with Electronic Medical Records qualifies me to critique the content of medical records thoroughly with a critical eye easing the pain of deciphering records that are often confusing to interpret.

The 5 years’ experience of working as a Circulating Nurse in the Operating Room and in Pre/Post-Operative areas, enables me to share details of surgical services.

Legal Nurse Consulting Solutions, LLC offers several different types of legal counseling services for health care professionals. Below are brief descriptions of each service that is offered.
