A certified legal nurse consultant is a registered nurse who has successfully mastered the CLNC certification program and has the expertise to quickly interpret and identify medical and nursing issues in any case that involves health, illness, or injury.

As the attorney is the legal expert, the certified legal nurse consultant is the expert on the inner workings of the healthcare system and can provide cost-effective, insightful information while reviewing the medical records and providing information that is vital to winning a case.

As soon as the attorney receives a potential case, the CLNC consultant is an invaluable asset to have to identify the medical issues, as they are able to screen the case for merit and provide 30 services relevant to your case.

The services of a CLNC are more cost-effective than those of a physician. A certified nurse consultant can educate you on a wide range of medical issues as a healthcare provider who is face-to-face with patients daily, which saves you time and money.

The Legal Nurse Consultant focuses on the nursing and medical issues of the case, while the nurse paralegal focuses on the legal issues of the case.

Legal Nurse Consultants can help you save time and money as they focus on the medical and nursing aspects of the case, helping you to understand the intricacy of the healthcare world, writing reports that are easy to understand, formulating interrogatories, locating expert witnesses along with other needs that may arise. This will give the attorney time to focus on the legal aspects of the case, and together, this will make a winning team.
