Testimonials

"Robert Malaer is the single best expert I have ever worked with. We have utilized Robert as a consultant, expert, and life care planner, and he has exceeded our expectations in each role. He has the unique ability to uncover every important detail of the case and presents it in a well-written, professional report that is easily understood. His completed reports come in a Trial Binder with chronologized, referenced records, supportive documentation, and his CV, and this process alone saves our firm significant time and finances. We use Robert on every medically related case within our firm, and I highly recommend him to every law firm across the country. It only takes one case for you to realize how impactful Robert's work really is."

"I had never used a Legal Nurse Consultant before and had thought my office staff were managing all of the medical records just fine. Until I took on a huge nursing home case with over 20,000 pages of records. Robert amazed me from our first phone conversation and never failed to impress throughout the entire process. His understanding and knowledge of standards of care and state and federal regulations immediately caught my attention, but when I received his report, I was absolutely blown away. In my opinion, his expert report should be the standard for expert reports. Then, to top that, I received his Trial Binder a few days after his emailed report, and I was floored. Robert had included his written report and the chronologized records he had referenced in his report. The amount of time he saved with the binder alone was worth hiring him. Since our initial encounter, I have referred Robert and Malaer Legal Nurse Consulting to every attorney I know and will continue to use him with every case I have. "

"Robert Malaer has been wonderful to work with. We used his services as a consultant and as an expert witness. He is thorough, professional, and patient. Robert has the ability to hone in on key issues and explain them in a way that can be understood and digested by lay persons. Though he is highly credentialed, I found that fees for his services were incredibly reasonable, especially for the value he provides in case comprehension and development. Robert is a great asset in any medically cases, and I recommend him without hesitation."

"Robert Malaer of Malaer Legal Nurse Consulting has been a great asset in not only achieving substantial settlements, but also saving our firm time in evaluating cases for medical proof of the claims. His vast experience and education provides him the ability to thoroughly screen, assimilate and evaluate the medical documentation. His reports are inclusive of all trial-ready medical records, making mediations, depositions, and trials much easier. Frankly, Robert Maler's approach is head and shoulders above all others we have used, particularly where the medical records returned to us in a turn-key binder, with the key records individually identified, and pertinent passages clearly marked. I would strongly recommend Malaer Legal Nurse Consulting for any case where medical analysis is warranted. He has proven extremely valuable in every case we have used him on."

"Robert was referred to us by another legal nurse consultant, and I was reluctant to call him at first because he was in Oregon, and we are in Nevada. After speaking with him on the phone, I knew we had the right expert. He knows nursing home standards and regulations like the back of his hand, and he knew exactly how to proceed with our case. The Trial Binder we received was icing on the cake. I actually learned a lot from Robert during this process and will continue to use him for all of our nursing home cases."

"One of the best decisions we made was bringing Robert in early in the litigation process. He was quickly acknowledged as a valuable partner and added significant insights and value to every conversation along the way. He exhibited significant expertise in case development, deposing opposing experts, and trial prep, but his Comprehensive Expert Report is second to none. I have worked with many experts throughout my career, but Robert has set a new bar of expectation. I highly recommend calling Robert for all your medical reviews."

"Robert Malaer's medical reviews and professional reports have been pivotal in the success of my cases. He was more efficient then hiring an MD expert right away and far more cost effective. Robert's report was instrumental in fighting back the defense arguments in mediation by proving causation resulting in immediate settlement. I would highly recommend Robert and Malaer Legal Nurse Consulting for any attorney seeking a comprehensive and professional review of medically related cases."

"Robert completed a terrific deep-dive review in a complex pediatric brain injury case with thousands of pages of electronic medical records. He drew order from chaos and helped us focus on the critical issues of the case. Even better, he engaged in an extended dialogue after his review as we pushed and tested each issue. He expertly refocused the team on the significant medical issues and prevented the all-to-often rabbit hole distractions. I sincerely appreciate his diligent, expert work, and I will utilize his services for all of my medically-related cases."

"I was in desperate need of a nursing expert and received a referral to Malaer Legal Nurse Consulting from a trusted attorney from another firm. I will never admit it to that attorney, but this was the best referral I have ever received. Robert was honest, thorough, and professional throughout the entire process. When I received his initial preliminary report, I was blown away because his preliminary report was better than most final reports I had received from other experts. After obtaining the additional missing records he identified, he updated the report immediately. But, it wasn’t until I received the Trial Binder that I realized how succinct and professional Robert truly is. Robert is now my go-to for merit reviews and expert opinion reports. If you want to experience what an expert witness should be, contact Robert at Malaer Legal Nurse Consulting. You will not bedisappointed. "

"As an attorney at a very large law firm, experts come and go like a revolving door. I had become accustomed to low expectations and the need to carefully review and edit expert reports. That all changed once I met and began using Robert at the behest of a colleague. For all personal injury cases, he has been able to identify, organize and summarize the medical records, identify, and evaluate the injuries, analyze causation issues, assist with the medical portions of discovery responses, and draft billing reviews and concrete life care plans. For our malpractice cases, he is able to identify the applicable standards of care and regulatory violations. In our experience, the more complex the case, the more Robert has been able to contribute. Thus, in the more complex personal injury cases, such as medical malpractice and pharmaceutical product liability cases, Robert is involved from the initial intake call through resolution. In addition to obtaining, summarizing, and analyzing medical records, he is involved in meeting with potential clients, following up with clients about their evolving medical condition, evaluating whether to investigate and undertake a claim, researching and analyzing medical liability and causation issues, identifying experts and serving as a liaison with medical and nursing experts. Attorneys that are attempting to manage these cases without a legal nurse consultant would be best served by contacting Robert due to his excellent reading comprehension, writing, organizational and analytical skills, as well as a strong clinical background and work ethic. On top of that, he’s a really fun guy to get to know and work with."

"I am an attorney in New York, and when looking for a nursing and life care planning expert for a specific med mal case, I was provided Robert’s information. I was initially hesitant to contact him because he is on the opposite side of the country, but once I did, Robert proved distance is a non-issue. His expert reports and life care plans are foundationally sound, but it is his professional demeaner on the stand that I have come to respect the most. He comes prepared for opposing counsel’s cross and knows how to manage the stand like no other. Robert has proven beneficial in trial prep, deposition prep, and case development. Making that initial contact with Robert was the best decision I made for my firm."

"I have worked with Robert for over 5 years now. He has been so instrumental in simplifying complex cases and making my job much easier. Robert is always responsive, fast, and thorough in every aspect of the services he has provided to my firm. He has saved me valuable time and expense in identifying the foundational merits of med mal and personal injury cases and missing records that I would have never known to look for or request. If you are an attorney used to using your office staff to review records for personal injury and med mal cases, I highly recommend giving Robert a call. I guarantee you will never go back to the old way of processing these cases. And once you receive his Trial Binder, GAME OVER…. He is the best in the business."

"I would not hesitate to recommend Robert Malaer and Malaer Legal Nurse Consulting to anyone in need of an expert for nursing home negligence cases. He is exceptionally well- versed in the relevant medicine as well as how it intersects with the applicable rules and regulations. He has saved my firm a tremendous amount of time and resources by assimilating vast amounts of records into a highly usable and concise format. I have had instances where Robert's review of the records reveals potential theories of liability, which would only have been discovered thanks to his expertise. I was referred to Mr. Malaer by another very successful medical malpractice and personal injury law firm that has used his services for the past 5 years. As an attorney, personal references and referrals are highly appreciated, and it is with great confidence that I personally recommend Mr. Malaer."

"I have been a criminal defense attorney in Oregon for over 20 years, and I have never felt so compelled to write a testimonial for an expert. It was my belief that they were just doing their job, and that should be expected. That was until I met and began working with Robert Malaer and Malaer Legal Nurse Consulting. When I first met Robert, I was skeptical about exactly what impact a nurse could actually have on my cases, but it was obvious after my first conversation with Mr. Malaer regarding a case that he was something special. He identified aspects of the case and discovery that I had overlooked, or more honestly, never saw or considered. Mr. Malaer brings a level of professionalism and unbiased expert opinion to cases that I have not seen with any other physician or other expert witness. Mr. Malaer asks the right questions, and his ability to perform root cause analysis on every aspect of the case has proven significantly influential in every case he has reviewed. Most importantly, Robert is not a “yes man.” He will provide you with a completely unbiased, independent opinion that is fully supported by the evidence. My law practice has greatly improved, and I have gained a wealth of knowledge through my collaboration with Mr. Malaer. When opposing counsel wants to meet your expert witness after multiple trials, you know you have found a unique and invaluable asset to your legal team. I highly recommend Robert Malaer to any colleagues needing a medical or forensic review, whether plaintiff or defense. I guarantee you will be glad you made that call."

"Robert Malaer is a proven invaluable consultant to our firm. I am impressed at how quickly he can review a large volume of records and focus in on the key issue that has saved us valuable time and financial resources. You really get the information and documentation needed and not a long rehash of all the medical records relevant or not. His comprehensive reports are professionally written, and he is the only legal nurse consultant who delivers his final report in a consolidated, legal binder with all referenced documented evidence that is ready for trial. Robert Malaer's reports have played an integral role in medical malpractice and personal injury cases for our firm. I highly recommend Robert based on our experience with his work product, and as a bonus, he is a great guy."

"As an attorney on the East Coast, I was hesitant to use an expert from the West Coast, but after a virtual meeting with Robert, his professionalism and knowledge of the matters of the case immediately eased my concerns. Robert introduced previously undiscovered facts to the case and was a total professional in deposition and trial despite a very aggressive cross. I was impressed by Robert's ability to maintain focus on the key issues of the case and his ability to identify obvious attempts by opposing counsel to stump him. Since that initial caser, I consult with Robert on every medical-related case, and his insights and recommendations have always proven invaluable. At the risk of delaying his availability for my own cases, it is my pleasure to recommend Robert and Malaer Legal Nurse Consulting."
