A Certified Legal Nurse Consultant^CM (CLNC^®) is a registered nurse who uses existing expertise as a healthcare professional plus specialized training as a CLNC^® to consult on medical-related cases at fees of $125-$150/hour. Few attorneys know how to read medical records or understand the terminology and subtleties of healthcare issues to achieve the best results for their clients. A CLNC^® bridges that gap in the attorney's knowledge. While the attorney is the expert on legal issues, the CLNC^® is the expert on nursing, the healthcare system and its inner workings.

According to the Houston Chronicle, "Of the approximately 900,000* attorneys in practice today, 25 percent deal with medical malpractice and personal injury cases." These attorneys rely on specially trained CLNC^®s to help them win their cases.

* According to the American Bar Association Market Research Department, in 2005 there are 1,104,766 attorneys in the U.S.

5 Success Promises I Made 20 Years Ago

Successful CLNC^®s Say

"I wanted to thank you for all the years of hard work and dedication you have put into giving nurses the ability to become independent, free-thinking entrepreneurs. If you had not shared your vision with the nursing profession, we would have many more unhappy nurses. After 7 years I have a client list of 28 attorneys, a current case load of 43 cases and a terrific business partner. I can look back and say, 'Wow, Vickie really knew what she was talking about.'"
