About Expert Consulting Services

ECS provides expert witness and consulting services for one thing: legal matters involving nursing homes, assisted living and other long-term and elder care settings. The firm works for plaintiff and defense counsel alike, and experts are retained to give an independent opinion, not to argue a side.

That single focus shapes how ECS works. The first call is with a licensed nursing home administrator who can identify the care and regulatory issues in the case, not an intake coordinator. The panel holds multiple experts in each specialty, so a conflict or a withdrawal doesn't stall a case. And because the founder coordinates every engagement personally, attorneys get matched CVs and fee schedules inside 24 hours, usually sooner.

Every expert on the panel is vetted by the founder, and the panel grows as case demand shifts, from falls and pressure injuries to staffing, infection control and life safety.
