Review the care issues before you fund the case
The free 20-minute screening puts a licensed nursing home administrator on the regulatory, clinical and care issues before you commit to the records and the workup. Firms that evaluate more matters than they file use pre-filing merit review, and ExpertPays can defer expert costs on contingency matters once a case is underwritten and accepted.
- Expert witness and consultingTestifying and consulting experts for nursing home, assisted living and long-term care matters, for plaintiff and defense counsel.
- ECS Precision Expert SearchWhen no panel member fits the case, ECS runs a targeted search rather than sending you a near match.
- Pre-filing case merit reviewA preliminary read of the records you have, by a licensed nursing home administrator, before the firm commits to the case.

See this case type ›Questions to ask any expert service
- Will I speak with an expert on the first call, or with a salesperson?
- How many experts do you have in this discipline, and what happens if mine has a conflict?
- Will the CV and the fee schedule arrive together, and can I get testimony history on request?
- Can you meet my disclosure deadline, and will you say so in writing?
- Do you work both sides, and how do you manage that?
ECS answers those questions the same way every time: a licensed nursing home administrator takes the first call, multiple experts cover each specialty, and the response comes inside 24 hours.
