"Over the years, I have worked with Pat on a large number of injury claims. Her extensive medical knowledge, real life nursing experience, and professional medical contacts have been tremendously beneficial in helping me understand simple to complex medical issues as well as locating qualified medical experts for trial. I have found her to be extremely responsive and a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend her services to insurance carriers, defense attourneys, and plaintiff attourneys alike."

Litigation Specialist"Pat assisted with reviews of complicated, questionable medical issues on files involving serious injuries and/or fatalities. These arose from automobile accidents, most of which involved substantial impacts. Oftentimes, treatment was for mulitple reasons and extendedover long periods of time. Files involved individuals of all ages and many had chronic medical backgrounds, making it difficult at times to determine what was and was not related to the automobile accident.
Pat was invaluable. Not only did she provide clear and detailed reports, she would also provide materials/illustrations to support her findings and future file handling. In addition, she was always very willing to discuss files in detail in person and answer any questions that arose. Her turn around time was resonable and she was always available for emergencies.
Not many, but some files ended up in litigation. Pat attended court ordered mediations on several occasions. Hearing from someone with a medical background was instrumental in settling claims that involved complex medical issues. If files did not settled and depositions were needed from treating physicains, Pat was instrumental in assisting our defense attourneys to prepare for depositions. Occasionaly, a peer review or IME was needed and she was able to make recommendations or referrals.
Last but not least, Pat always portrayed herself as a professional with integrity. Never, in all the years I have known Pat, did she once convey unwillingness to assist anyone in any way she could. This included times of heavy workload and other demands."

"Your work in this case helped us achieve a reasonable settlement. Your reports and communication with me were extremely useful. They allowed me to fully understand the medical issues of the case, and thus to do a better job in the depositions of the medical providers and the plaintiff. That, in turn, allowed me to make an effective presentation at the mediation.
I very much appreciate your work in the case. "
