Nancy is a Registered Nurse and specializes
in the field of legal nursing as a Legal Nurse Consultant Certified. Nancy evaluates
all of the medical information on our cases from car wrecks to medical malpractice.
She also represents our clients in their pursuit of Social Security disability
claims and wins many of the claims on-the-record without ever having to have
the client appear at the hearing level.
Nancy has been a nurse since 1972, first as a Licensed Practical Nurse/Licensed
Vocational Nurse until 1985, when she completed her Associate Degree in Nursing
and passed her Texas State Board examination to become a Registered Nurse. Nancy's
nursing experience has been primarily in critical care, but she has also worked
in the areas of orthopedics, urgent care, medical management, flight nursing,
and immunology.
In 1989 Nancy took her first position in a law office assisting personal injury
defense attorneys. At that time, there were very few nurses working in law firms
and Nancy was able to help pave the way for this type of career. She later practiced
with some downtown Dallas law firms assisting in medical malpractice and toxic
tort law. Nancy has served on the Dallas Board of the American Association of
Legal Nurse Consultants (AALNC) for many years, including as President of the
Dallas Chapter in 1999.
Nancy had the honor of being one of the first 77 nurses to pass the certification
exam for Legal Nurse Consulting Certified (LNCC), which is the only certification
of Legal Nurse Consultants that is recognized by the American Board of Nursing
Specialties and must be recertified every 5 years. There are currently only
538 LNCCs in the United States.
Nancy has been happily married for over 20 years. She has a son and a daughter
and is blessed with a wonderful son-in-law and a beautiful granddaughter. Nancy
is very active in her church and enjoys teaching Sunday School to four and five
year olds. In July 2004 Nancy had the privilege of traveling to Paraguay with
a group of doctors and other nurses on a mobile medical mission administering
to the medical needs of over 4,000 patients in a 6-day period. Her goal of speaking
Spanish fluently is getting much closer!
