Scrubs to Startup, business launch for nurse entrepreneurs
No patient contact

Expert witness work, the highest hourly rate on the list.

Before you can open

Your CV is the product.

Firms retain experts on credentials, clarity and the ability to withstand scrutiny. Everything we build points at that.

An LLC. Nothing clinical to register.

A CV built for retention

Can you own an expert witness practice in your state?

Not clinical practice, so no professional entity and no medical director. Ownership is never the question. Your specialty depth and your CV are.

Questions nurses ask about an expert witness practice.

No, and every expert had a first case. Specialty depth and clear writing get you retained; testimony experience raises your rate afterwards.

A consultant supports the legal team. An expert gives an opinion in their own name and may be deposed. Different exposure, different rate, often the same nurse.

Because retention follows litigation timelines, not marketing timelines. Nurses who pair it with chart review or consulting have income while the pipeline builds.

Giving honest opinion within your expertise is not. Overreaching beyond your specialty is, which is why scope discipline is part of the terms we write.

Ready to be retained?

Fifteen minutes with a fellow nurse who has built nurse-led businesses, not a coach. The prices are already on this page, so the call is not a pitch.
