Your Name: Louise Cardillo, R.N. B.S., Legal Nurse Consultant Certified (LNCC)

Your Business Name (if applicable): Cardillo Consultants

Please describe your business: Legal Nurse Consulting firm for ten years. I am a strong liason between attorney's, clients and experts. The strength of all cases is in meticulous attention to detail of medical records and choosing the appropriate expert. This aspect of consulting will bring your cases to closure with damages often above expectation. Experience in this field is critical to the success of working with a Legal Nurse Consultant. In addition, the nurse must have a strong clinical foundation and education.

I specialize in indepth screening for merit, causation and damages. Scientific based research into injury mechanism and long term outcomes, assists adjustors and their counsel in resolving cases. Prior to being an independant consultant I worked in a Law Firm specializing in Traumatic Brain Injury. This training gives me a significant strength in this area. Due to the complex nature of these cases, this attention to detail is translated to all of my cases.
