and subtleties of healthcare.
WHEN SHOULD YOU CALL A CLNC(R)?
From the moment a potential case comes in , the CLNC(R)
becomes an invaluable asset by identifying the medical issues, screening the case for merit and providing services relevant
to your case including chronologies, narrative summaries, deviations to the standards of care, locating expert witnesses,
providing discovery requests and educating the attorney. As a free service, you can email
to request an opinion re: whether or not to go forward with requesting medical records after the client intake.
WHY SHOULD YOU CONSULT WITH A CLNC(R) IF YOU'RE ALREADY USING AN MD?

you about a wide range of medical issues. This knowledge saves you time and money when working with expensive medical
experts.
