While I was talking on the phone today to our lead  consultant, Amy Dennerlein in Chicago, something unexpected happened that interrupted our business planning session. Namely, the nurse in Amy sprang to action when she saw a traffic accident unfolding in front of her window. She immediately jumped off our meeting and ran (barefoot) to help an injured motorcyclist outside her building and most likely saved the young man’s leg. Now here is a thing – this is a human story that left a huge impression on me when I saw her nursing instincts prevail in that situation. I’m sure we’ll continue our (business) meeting soon.

Amy’s nursing career includes seventeen years of intensive care nursing. Amy serves as our lead expert consultant  for several major personal injury and defense law firms in the Chicago area and US.  She specializes in case review as well as depositions/trials when required.

As Lead Consultant of Expert Legal Consulting (ELC) with Exigent Group, Amy leads a team of experienced legal consultants including nurses, physicians and pharmacists. The ELCs provide the highest level of expertise in depositions and trials as clinical experts, screening cases for merit, case review and summaries, in addition to various other professional needs.

Amy is highly regarded by clients in the Chicago area, as she has consulted for top lawyers over the past ten years. Her vast nursing expertise over the past 27 years has enabled her to serve as an expert on many cases, several of which have yielded multi-million dollar settlements.
