"Joanna and her team were excellent. I was really impressed by the thoroughness and quality of their work and will be working with them again."
"I do elder abuse and neglect cases in California. We look at hundreds of potential cases every year and the burden of competently reviewing all the medical records would take up all my time. I tried numerous consultants in the past and did not have much success in finding anyone to fit my specific need. They had their way of doing things and they were not willing to change in order to do the work exactly the way I needed it done. Joanna has been fantastic as she listens to what we are trying to accomplish and can tailor her expertise to fit the specific need. She has truly proven to be a huge asset in the legal work we do on our cases. Her work product is professional, always on time, and is always insightful."
