Jean K. Cooper, RN, BSN, MSN, LNCC
Benchmark Legal Nurse Consulting, LLC
Saving Attorneys Time and Money on their Medical Cases.
Hello, I’m Jean! And I can help you!
I am a legal nurse consultant and as such I use the nursing process to serve as analyst, collaborator, strategist, researcher, and educator to attorneys involved in civil and criminal litigation. My nursing education and years of experience at the bedside and in nursing administration provide me the skills to assist attorneys to understand information in medical records as it relates to their particular case. I have been serving attorneys with case analysis and development since 1988, when I reviewed my first set of medical records for an attorney to determine the merits of a medical malpractice case.
As an RN, BSN, MSN, and LNCC, I am dedicated to education and professional excellence. My education and experience provide me with insight into how healthcare standards are applied to the provision of medical practice and how healthcare providers are educated, trained, and expected to perform within their job descriptions.
