What attorneys usually ask first
How fast can you turn around a review?
Timelines depend on record volume and complexity. Most chronologies and reviews are scoped to your filing deadline during the initial triage call.
Do you work with both plaintiff and defense counsel?
Yes. The clinical facts are reported the same way regardless of which side retains the review.
How are records handled securely?
Medical records and other confidential case materials are transferred and stored through secure, access-controlled systems designed for handling sensitive information. Record transfer instructions are provided directly to counsel.
