Clarity Early in the Case. 

Defensibility When It Matters.

How I Work With Attorneys

Attorneys don’t need volume—they need clarity, credibility, and early direction.

My role is to provide objective, evidence-informed analysis of chiropractic and neuromusculoskeletal care, grounded in over three decades of clinical practice, regulatory experience, and guideline development.

I approach each engagement with a focus on efficiency, accessibility, and defensibility—helping counsel determine, as early as possible, whether a case should move forward.

Initial Attorney Contact (No Charge)

I am readily available by phone for a brief, no-charge consultation to determine:

• Whether the case falls within my scope of expertise
• Whether there are any conflicts or limitations
• Whether my background aligns with your needs

This initial conversation is intended to be accessible and efficient—you should be able to reach me, not schedule weeks out.

Important:
This discussion is limited to qualifications and case fit only.
I do not review records or offer opinions on case specifics at this stage.

Preliminary Case Review (1.5 Hours – No Commitment Required)

For early case evaluation, I offer a focused 1.5-hour introductory review.

Purpose:

• Provide a high-level, objective assessment
• Identify strengths, vulnerabilities, and gaps in the record
• Assist in determining whether further expert involvement is warranted

Structure:

• Fixed 1.5-hour review
• Verbal or brief written summary (your preference)
• No obligation to proceed beyond this stage

This allows you to efficiently vet a case before committing additional resources.

Formal Engagement

If the case proceeds, I provide:

• Comprehensive medical record review
• Chronology and documentation analysis
• Standard of care and medical necessity opinions
• Identification of adherence to—or deviation from—published guidelines
• Written reports suitable for disclosure
• Deposition and trial testimony, when required

All opinions are independent, clearly articulated, and defensible.

Communication & Availability

• I maintain direct phone availability for attorneys throughout the engagement
• Calls are scheduled promptly, and I make a point to remain accessible as issues evolve
• Written work is structured to be clear, usable, and strategically relevant

My objective is to serve as a practical extension of your case strategy, not simply a reviewer.

Turnaround Times

• Preliminary Review (1.5-hour offering): Typically within 3–5 business days
• Full Record Review / Reports: Typically 2–3 weeks, depending on scope and volume

For time-sensitive matters, expedited review may be available at 1.5× the standard hourly rate, scheduling permitting.

Fee Structure (Summary)

• Record review, consultation, deposition: $350/hour
• Trial testimony: $600/hour
• Introductory case review: 1.5 hours (no ongoing commitment required)
• Expedited work: 1.5× hourly rate
• Standard retainer and engagement terms provided upon request

Scheduling Policy:
Depositions and trial appearances require a minimum of five (5) business days’ cancellation notice.
Late cancellations may be subject to billing to reserve time that cannot be reassigned.

Professional Approach

My work is informed by:

• Over three decades of active clinical practice
• Prior service as a state regulatory board chairman
• Experience evaluating standard of care, documentation, and utilization issues across a wide range of cases
• Participation in the development of multiple published clinical practice guidelines

This perspective reflects both clinical reality and regulatory expectation—a combination that is often critical in litigation.

What You Can Expect

• Objective, unbiased analysis
• Early identification of case strengths and weaknesses
• Clear, defensible opinions
• Professional and credible testimony when required

Closing

If you are evaluating a case involving chiropractic care, documentation quality, or medical necessity, I am available to help you determine—early and efficiently—whether the facts support your position.
