Medical Legal Consulting Business vs. Expert Witness Consulting

Dr. Feldman started formal consulting of this nature 15 years ago. His unique pre-litigation/pre-trial consulting aids attorneys in managing the medical elements of cases, raising case value, and saving time.

By supporting medical opinions with documentation from medical literature, he assists attorneys in helping their clients negotiate and settle legal disputes. In most cases, this enables patients to obtain necessary medical care.

Launching a Medical Legal Consulting Business

You need two skill sets to successfully pursue this career.

First, you must be able to research the literature regarding evidence-based medical care and explain your medical knowledge and experience to others. Second, you will need the business skills necessary to launch and sustain a long-term medical consulting firm.

During our interview, Armin describes how to obtain those skills.

Additional Resource – Dr. Feldman’s Podcast

Armin and a former student, Dr. Michael Bummer, also produce Physicians Helping Attorneys (Helping Patients) a podcast that helps attorneys understand this new medical forensic field. It is also a great place for physicians who are interested in studying this type of work to learn more about it.

Dr. Feldman’s Advice

If you love medicine and you want to… help people, injured people that really need this help… this is something you should consider.
