I can provide a Pro Bono informal initial opinion to legal professionals on the merits of a case based on a short case summary. A concise screening report or a full Court compliant Breach of Duty and Causation report can be provided as needed. I also see patients for Condition and Prognosis and Life Expectancy reports. Fee estimates and Terms and Conditions will be provided in advance of any work being undertaken.
Current report turnaround time is 1 to 2 weeks following receipt of the final bundle, but more urgent needs can usually be accommodated.
My approach to clinical negligence expert witness reports is rooted in a commitment to accuracy, thoroughness, and clarity. I meticulously review medical records, conduct in-depth research, and apply my expertise to provide authoritative opinions that withstand scrutiny in legal proceedings.
Clients trust my ability to distill complex medical concepts and events into understandable and reasoned summaries, making my reports accessible and compelling.
Here's what satisfied clients have told us...
Dr Lewis was incredibly responsive to my enquiry and completed the instruction in under a week. His report was very clear with some quite complicated issues explained without jargon. Would definitely recommend.
Very fast when I really needed a quick turnaround to meet a deadline
Completed reports for me on several matters and I have been very impressed with his clear explanations and references to evidence his opinions. Excellent turnaround time.
His urgent home visit for a Condition, Prognosis and Life Expectancy report carried much more weight than a desktop report. Would recommend.
