Legal Nurse Consultants

LEGAL NURSE CONSULTANTS (LNCs) are registered nurses who use their experience and education to evaluate, analyze and render informed opinions for Medical-Legal issues. As a knowledgeable strategist and collaborator, Legal Nurse Consultants are a resourceful and cost-effective link between the medical and legal professions. Legal Nurse Consulting is a nursing specialty distinct from the professions of the paralegal or legal assistant. An LNC serves as a unique member of the litigation team.

The St. Louis Chapter AALNC has members from many specialty areas of the nursing profession. For more information, please contact us at: LegalNurseConsultants@aalncstlouis.org
