Sonya Mihalus

My Legal Nurse Consulting practice provides medical expertise to attorneys handling cases involving medical malpractice, personal injury, workers’ compensation, elder care, and other healthcare‑related litigation. With my clinical background as a registered nurse and specialized training in legal nurse consulting, I translate complex medical information into clear, actionable insights that strengthen case strategy and improve legal outcomes.

The Cleveland region’s dense healthcare landscape and high volume of medical‑related litigation create a strong and growing demand for medical‑legal expertise. Many solo and small law firms lack in‑house clinical support, resulting in missed details, inefficient case review, and increased costs. My practice fills this gap by offering medical record analysis, chronology development, merit screening, standards‑of‑care evaluation, and litigation support tailored to the needs of legal teams.

This business is designed to operate as a specialized professional service with low overhead and strong growth potential. With the right startup resources, I will be able to launch operations, secure early clients, and build a sustainable consulting practice that supports the legal community while expanding career pathways for nurses seeking non‑bedside roles.

Legal Nurse Consultant with deep expertise in oncology, cardiology, neurology, nephrology, and medical device research.

Extensive background in FDA/GCP compliance, clinical trial oversight, and regulatory documentation—highly valuable for cases involving drug safety, device failure, research misconduct, and medical negligence.

Known for precision, clarity, and the ability to translate technical medical data into compelling, litigation‑ready insights.
