Legal Nurse Consulting — Fort Smith, AR

Medical records, read the way an ICU nurse reads them.

I help attorneys make sense of complex medical charts — spotting the timeline gaps, standard-of-care issues, and causation facts that shape a case, before they show up in deposition.

Background

Jason Dover, RN, BSN

Founder, Apollo Legal Nurse Consulting

I spent over a decade in critical care nursing — medical, neuro, trauma, and cardiac ICU — after eleven years as a paramedic. Between the two, I've been present for the moments that later become the subject of a case file: codes, rapid deteriorations, medication errors, missed diagnoses.

That's the vantage point I bring to record review. I know what proper care looks like in an ICU because I've delivered it, and I know how to spot where it went wrong — clearly, and in language attorneys and juries can actually use.

I hold active membership in the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses, the Emergency Nursing Association, and the Arkansas Nursing Association.
