⚖️ Legal Nurse Consulting

As a Registered Nurse with over 15 years of clinical experience — much of it in behavioral health and clinical education — I offer expert insight for attorneys navigating medical-legal cases. I serve both plaintiff and defense teams with:

• Medical record review and interpretation
• Case analysis and strategy support
• Identification of standards of care deviations
• Expert opinion letters and affidavits
• Written reports and expert testimony (as applicable)

My work is marked by clarity, precision, and balanced perspective, grounded in real-world frontline experience.

I focus on cases where clinical judgment, mental health care, or end-of-life nursing is at the center of the claim. My areas of expertise include:

• Psychiatric Nursing & Behavioral Health
  – Inpatient psychiatric care
  – Residential treatment facilities
  – Suicide prevention and observation protocols
  – Use of restraints/seclusion
  – Documentation standards in behavioral health settings

• General Nursing
  – Medication management (e.g., opioids, bowel protocols)
  – Symptom control and palliative planning
  – Nurse communication/documentation
  – Family dynamics and consent

• Nursing Leadership & Education
  – Orientation and training failures
  – Scope of practice disputes
  – Nurse peer review issues

I consult on cases involving:

• Psychiatric patient injury or suicide
• Failure to monitor or intervene
• Improper restraint or observation
• Behavioral deterioration in residential treatment
• Nurse scope of practice, supervision, or documentation issues

I serve clients across the U.S. remotely via secure portals and Zoom, and can travel as needed for testimony or court-related work.
