WHY should you hire a
Legal Nurse Consultant?

As a busy attorney you
do not have time
to review each page of
the medical record.

Your time is far too
valuable!

On the other hand,
missing something
in the records could have
an adverse impact
on case outcomes and
your firm's bottom line.

Dr. Vrtis has an
extensive nursing
background
and familiarity with
standards of care,
federal regulations
and insider knowledge of
how  the medical care
system works.

She has reviewed
countless charts for
standards of care
deviations and risk
management issues.

published author,
