A note on these accounts. Parties are identified by initials or not at all, and jurisdictions, dates, and procedural details have been generalised to protect confidentiality. Nothing here is offered as a prediction. Every matter turns on its own record, and the most useful thing an expert does is tell retaining counsel honestly what a record will and will not support.
Complimentary preliminary screening
Discuss a matter of your own
Preliminary screening is complimentary. Send the posture of your matter — jurisdiction, claims, and the schedule you are working under — and Dr. Alvaro Alban, MD, MBA will identify the expert discipline the issue points to, check availability and conflicts, and tell you candidly whether the materials look suitable for expert review before you retain anyone.
