Behind a medical record is a person.
Behind a sound review is a careful look at the evidence.
We help plaintiff counsel understand the nursing care documented in a case, identify questions that need further investigation, and organize clinical information into a clearer picture. Findings follow the evidence; the legal decisions remain with counsel.

A FEW QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
Before we begin.
Do you work with plaintiff attorneys?
Yes. Legal consulting is focused on attorneys representing injured residents and families. Nightingale does not provide defense consulting for parties accused of abuse or negligence.
What happens before a review starts?
We discuss the case in general terms, check for conflicts, and agree on scope, deliverables, timing, and fees before records are transferred.
Can I send records through the website?
Please do not send medical records or confidential case details through the website or an initial inquiry. An appropriate record-transfer method is arranged after the engagement is discussed.
Can I review your credentials?
Yes. View Edith’s CV and Washington and Oregon RN license documentation . Expert-witness qualifications and any case-specific requirements are evaluated before accepting testimony work.
