Legal Nurse Consultant Services for Attorneys

Chart Reviews, Timelines, Annotated Audits & Addiction Case Support

Brandi McCurdy, MSN, AGACNP-BC

As a critical care nurse practitioner with over a decade of ICU, hospital medicine, and trauma experience I help personal injury and malpractice attorneys uncover what the chart doesn’t say.

From wrongful death and delayed diagnoses to addiction treatment failures, I translate complex records into clear clinical insight so legal teams can build stronger cases, faster.

Why work with me

  • Critical Care Expertise: Over a decade of ICU, ER, and trauma experience as a board-certified acute care nurse practitioner and registered nurse

  • Sharp Clinical Insight: I don’t just read charts-I decode what’s missing, manipulated, or dangerously vague

  • Addiction & Behavioral Health Specialty: Unique lens on rehab, detox, and psych-related malpractice cases

  • Fast, Clear Deliverables: HIPAA-compliant reports delivered on time, written with litigation strategy in mind

  • Partner, Not Just a Provider: I work alongside your legal team-not behind the scenes to make your case stronger

I’ve worked with many legal nurse consultants. Brandi is the only one who can translate ICU-level care into something the jury will actually understand.
