How many attorneys need the services of a Certified Legal Nurse ConsultantCM?
According to the Houston Chronicle, of the 1,162,124* attorneys in practice, 25% deal with medical-related cases.

While the attorney is the expert on legal issues, the CLNC® consultant is the expert on nursing and the inner workings of the healthcare system. As a CLNC® consultant, you apply your knowledge of medical, nursing and health-related issues to make the attorney’s job easier, more efficient and more effective. Your professional expertise as an RN and a Certified Legal Nurse ConsultantCM qualifies you to review and interpret relevant medical records, prepare chronologies, screen medical-related cases, assist with discovery and provide dozens of other CLNC® services.
