Pacific Northwest
Medical Legal Consulting
Medical Expertise for Legal Professionals.
Serving Attorneys in Oregon and Washington.
At Pacific Northwest MD Legal Consulting, we make medical legal consulting accessible from the very start.
Our physician written, attorney ready reports provide evidence based medical opinions that cut through dense records and focus on what matters most, helping you streamline workflow, strengthen strategy, and save valuable time. We specialize in pre-litigation and pre-trial consulting, offering objective, practical insight to support informed decisions and early resolution. With reasonable fees, you can access physician expertise without hesitation or delay.
Let’s Discuss Your Case
Only a physician can provide a medical opinion to support pre-litigation and pre-trial documentation, and that is the core value we bring to your case.
Every report is prepared by a physician, ensuring that opinions are authoritative, objective, and grounded in clinical expertise.
We provide:
Clear analysis of causation and mechanism of injury
Functional loss evaluations to quantify impact
Future medical expense projections
Opinions informed by current medical literature and years of direct patient care
The ability to connect you with expert witnesses when needed
Our consulting helps attorneys increase case value, identify key medical or surgical issues, and avoid unnecessary expense by recognizing cases that lack substantive medical merit. With physician expertise at the table, you gain confidence, efficiency, and clarity in even the most complex medical matters.
