I have a history of more than 50 years in nursing, and more than 23 years of those years has been as an expert witness, in numerous states throughout the country. I have done every aspect of case work, between meditations, arbitration, closed hearings and hearings / trials with and without a jury. The nature of these cases has been med malpractice, standards of care (both medical and psychological), abuse of the elderly (financial and physical) and the life needs of these groups. I have done both plaintiff and defense I am also a board-certified National Guardian (NCG). I have been made guardian of person and Finance of Adults and Children for 20+ years. These cases have been very basic to very ligated, with and without family members I was on the forefront of case management development in the very early 80's and one of the first providers of advocacy for the elderly and disabled. I have been recognized as a matter expert in nursing, life care, and issues of disability. I created the first national franchise (IKOR) in the area of Life Advocacy, which covered the major cities in the US.
