Eric E. Rothstein, Esq., Carlin & Rothstein, New York, New York:

I retained Michelle Callan to review my client’s medical records in a very large personal injury case in which the defense was attempting to arguethat my client was heavily intoxicated at the time of his accident and thereforebore significant responsibility for his injuries. I was particularly concernedbecause one of the first documents in the chart was a typed note stating thatmy client was injured when he crossed the street while drunk…. I needed toknow if my client was sober as he had been telling me. Michelle reviewedan extremely large medical record (1000+ pages) in a short period of timeand allayed my concerns when she reported that there was not a singlereference to my client being intoxicated or even having an odor of alcohol onhis breath. The defense subsequently dropped its intoxication claim and thecase settled for a seven figure number. In addition, Michelle returned themedical records to me in wonderfully organized and tabbed notebooks. Iwould not hesitate to recommend Michelle to any attorney needing medicalrecords reviewed and/or guidance with a medical issue.
