Why do lawyers utilize MCS?
Lawyers who utilize MCS’ services are seeking to fully develop their client’s cases into the strongest possible position as to liability and damages to achieve a maximum result for the client. I bring to the table an extensive background in both law and medicine combined with an intimate involvement with PI cases (I suffered a head injury myself in ’93 which drove my interest and passion in the care and legal aspects of the experience) which law professionals find invaluable in researching, assembling and presenting a strong argument in complex cases.

Does MCS understand medical terminology and abbreviations?
A traditional paralegal focuses solely on "diagnosis" and "prognosis" - thereby missing important interactions between injuries and pre-existing conditions or missing other damages not previously considered. They're missing the ramifications and providing only a single aspect of a multi-faceted case that could render your client's case vulnerable.
An MCS Medical Paralegal can not only complete these activities much more efficiently than non-medically trained persons, they can look for the links, the trends, the ambiguities and the nuances of the case that can make all the difference.
An MCS Medical Paralegal has “both sides of the brain” with expansive knowledge of medical terminology, a complete understanding of medical records to a granular level as well as an understanding of legal implications and development of all liability issues.
