Connecting attorneys with trusted medical experts nationwide
Truth, Justice, and Accountability in Medicine. For the past 40 years, that has been our passion. We provide the legal profession with the highest-caliber medical experts to assist with the many levels of your cases that need medical expert testimony. From the initial review for merit to providing expert trial testimony, our medical experts are prepared to teach the attorney the medicine and help coordinate the medical aspects of your case, including assistance with deposition and trial preparation. We think of ourselves as part of your team. Your success is our success.
Since 1986, Rieback Medical Legal Consultants has been the premier Medical Malpractice Expert Consulting Firm serving the “Best” of America’s attorneys. Because of our high standards, dedication, and commitment to the legal community, we have been privileged to work with innumerable past presidents of ATLA/AAJ, past and present state trial lawyer presidents, as well as many of the brightest and most accomplished medical malpractice and personal injury attorneys in the United States, Canada, and parts of Europe.
Our focus is and has always been on doing the best job for our attorneys and their clients. We have worked for 40 years building relationships with medical malpractice and personal injury attorneys, and with the most highly qualified medical and nursing professionals who have a sincere desire to keep the standards of medical care and the practice of law high. We make a difference.
Our goal has never been accumulating huge lists of names of medical experts and charging attorneys for providing their names and moving on. We are here for you. When a hedge fund or large company owns an expert referral service, it's not about the case; it's about the money.
