Paralegal + Legal Nurse Consultant: A Smarter Approach to Medical Evidence (Monday, September 14, 2026)

Mon, 14 Sep 2026 22:00:00 GMT

Medical records are often the backbone of personal injury, medical malpractice, workers’ compensation, criminal defense, elder law, and even family law cases — but few paralegals are trained to spot what a Legal Nurse Consultant (LNC) would catch. Attorneys often face “large volumes of records requiring review,” “complex hospital records,” “missing records identification,” and “unclear causation” — challenges that Legal Nurse Consultants (LNCs) are specifically trained to solve.

Join us for a practical, eye‑opening session on what LNCs do, how their clinical expertise strengthens legal work, and how paralegals and LNCs can collaborate to produce clearer timelines, stronger demand packages, better causation analysis, and more organized case files.

Featuring Doreen Riordan BSN, BA, RN of Riordan Associates.

You’ll learn:

What an LNC is and the scope of their work
How LNCs translate medical records into attorney‑ready analysis
How LNCs support multiple practice areas — from PI to criminal defense to family law
How paralegals can partner with LNCs to improve efficiency, accuracy, and case strategy
When LNC involvement can make or break a case

This webinar is designed for all MPA members, including paralegals, legal assistants, students, and those working in non‑medical practice areas. Medical evidence shows up everywhere — custody disputes, ADA claims, probate litigation, toxic torts, elder law, employment disputes, and more.

If you’ve ever opened a medical record and wondered whether you caught everything, this session will give you clarity, confidence, and a new collaborative tool to elevate your work.
