About
A nurse-owned consulting team of practicing clinicians who read charts every day, putting that fluency to work for attorneys.
Insights from a legal nurse consultant
We're registered nurses with hands-on experience across multiple specialties · including pain management, women's health, surgical, telehealth, and community mental health. That range matters: complex cases rarely stay in one specialty, and We can follow a patient's care across departments the way the chart actually unfolds, catching the handoffs, gaps, and decisions a single-specialty reviewer can miss.
Attorneys don't need us to tell them what they want to hear. They need someone who will read the entire record, say plainly what it shows, and stand behind that read whether it helps the case or complicates it.
Why "Obsidian Legal Nurse Consulting"
The name is a little playful, but the idea behind it is serious: when a case is buried in medical records, you need someone who can surface the answer that matters. That's the work · translating healthcare into something a legal team can act on, with the judgment of nurses who practice in the clinic every day.
Perspective
Our team brings a perspective that resonates with diverse juries and witnesses · alongside a clinical commitment to culturally competent, trauma-informed care, with experience across reproductive health, telehealth, and community mental health. Our lead nurse is a passionate advocate for Black women in malpractice and injury cases, where symptoms are too often dismissed and pain under-documented. In cases involving sensitive facts, vulnerable patients, or underserved communities, that perspective is an asset, not an afterthought.
