Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is a Certified Legal Nurse Consultant (CLNC)??

A: A legal nurse consultant is a registered nurse who abides by state, federal and local laws and has successfully mastered the CLNC Certification Program. Legal nurse consulting is a field of nursing which uses existing knowledge and expertise as a healthcare professional plus specialized legal nurse consultant training to consult on medical related cases. Attorneys hire legal nurse consultants to review medical charts and to acquaint them with medical terms and documentation styles for court cases.

Legal nurse consultants are a part of a legal team, serving as educators, analysts, collaborators and strategists. They apply their healthcare, nursing and medical knowledge to their role and hold a standard of integrity in their practice.

While the attorney is the legal expert, the nursing consultant is the expert on the healthcare system and its inner workings. Webber Legal Nurse Consulting (WLNC) offers the legal profession access to this level of cost-effective expertise for reviewing medical records as well as understanding and communicating the terminology and subtleties of the healthcare system. WLNC will give you a quick and objective opinion on the merit and details of a case based on medical facts and outline the strengths and the weaknesses of your case before you waste countless hours and dollars.


Q: What can a Certified Legal Nurse Consultant (CLNC) do for you?

Webber Legal Nurse Consulting has the ability to thoroughly and quickly dissect the medical aspects of any case involving health, illness or injury, giving you the legal edge you need to be successful.

Q: Why should we use a CLNC and not an MD to consult on cases?

A: The services of WLNC are far more cost-effective than those of a physician. Our nurse consultants are face-to-face with patients every day and can educate you about a wide range of medical issues. This knowledge saves you time and money. WLNC can screen cases to determine whether they have merit before you retain an expensive physician. Our services help to reduce the hours the physician will have to bill.

Q: What is the difference between a CLNC and a nurse paralegal?

A: A nurse paralegal concentrates on the legal aspects of a case. A CLNC focuses on the nursing and medical issues. CLNC’s can provide an in-depth analysis of the medical aspects of a case.

Q: How does using Webber Legal Nurse Consulting benefit you?
