About CORE MedLegal Consulting

CORE MedLegal Consulting is a boutique legal nurse consulting and expert witness firm serving plaintiff and defense attorneys in medically complex litigation.


Founded and led by Sandy Harman, DNP, AGACNP-BC, ENP-BC, FNP-BC, LNC, the firm combines more than 30 years of nursing experience with advanced clinical practice in emergency medicine, trauma, critical care, acute care, and family medicine.


We help legal teams understand the clinical facts documented throughout the medical record. Our work is designed to identify significant events, clarify healthcare terminology, evaluate clinical decision-making, and explain how the patient’s condition and treatment evolved over time.

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide clear, objective, and clinically accurate analysis to attorneys navigating complex medical matters.


We approach each case with independence, precision, and respect for the documented evidence. Whether assisting plaintiff or defense counsel, our role is to clarify the medicine—not advocate for a predetermined conclusion.

  • Our services include:
  • Medical record review
  • Medical chronologies and timelines

Clinical Perspective for Complex Cases

Medical records frequently contain duplicative entries, conflicting documentation, missing information, and subtle changes in condition that can be difficult to identify without clinical experience.

CORE MedLegal Consulting evaluates these records within the context of the provider’s role, practice setting, available information, documented findings, and the patient’s clinical course.

Our goal is to transform complex healthcare information into organized, understandable analysis that supports informed legal decision-making.
