A Letter to Persons Contemplating Consultation With A Medicolegal Expert

Dear Colleague,

When your case involves complex medical legal issues, precision of expert review matters. For more than 35 years, I’ve worked with attorneys  to incorporate clear, evidence-based medical analysis into their legal presentations. I offer:

  • Comprehensive medical record review to identify strengths and weaknesses in the early development phase of the case;
  • Critical evaluation of medical literature for scientific validity and applicability to the case;
  • Analysis of competing liability and causation opinions; and
  • Support in deposition, mediation, and trial strategies.

If your case requires expert medical review, I invite you to schedule a no-cost consultation with me today.

Thanks, 
Jim Wheeler
