My Story

Expert Witness Nursing was founded to provide much needed nursing consultative services to the legal community and other medical professionals.

From my decades of nursing experience, I realized that there was a void of nurse expert witnesses and nurse consultants to advise judges, lawyers, hospitals, colleges, and medical staff on the practices and procedures associated with effective nursing care in a variety of settings and specialties.

This, I set out to provide the best possible services to the legal and health care communities in order to fill this gap and I have since won the respect of numerous clients throughout New York, New Jersey, South Carolina, and other areas.  Expert Witness Nursing has quickly become a highly sought-after provider of expert legal testimony and nursing consultation services nationwide.

You can inquire further about my services and availability using the contact form.  I look forward to hearing from you today.
