In this podcast episode, we explore Crafting Effective Chronologies for Legal Nurses. Creating chronologies that have multi-purpose functions in a range of cases is one of the services attorneys are most likely to request. Today we have an expert in this area, Mary Beth Kerstein, who will share with you what she’s learned about this important service.
Attorneys lack both the time and medical expertise to prepare a chronology, and it’s not a job that can be handed off to a paralegal. This is where LNCs can prove their value.
Mary Beth addresses a number of practical issues. Since all records don’t arrive at the same time, you need to find a way to indicate new information for the attorney’s benefit. She details how to do this.
The biggest issue is deciding what information is pertinent for a chronology. As this will also determine the length and number of billing hours required, she recommends that you ask the attorney what he or she wants. You can also provide samples of chronologies you’ve done.
She emphasizes that the chronology should be opinion-free. Expert witnesses, opposing attorneys, and other parties may see this. If the attorney wants it, you can provide your opinion about the case in a separate email.
You can also offer to provide additional services, like a list of providers or a medical glossary.
You will find the content of this podcast to be an invaluable resource to help you excel in this highly requested service.
Here’s What to Expect from the Podcast: Crafting Effective Chronologies for Legal Nurses – Mary Beth Kerstein
- How does an attorney benefit from having an LNC prepare a chronology?
- How do you organize a chronology where multiple providers are involved?
- How do you discern what’s important to put into a chronology?

In this podcast episode, Pat shares how to build your LNC writing skills and succeed. She is a proficient and prolific writer, having written 68 books, with several more on the way. Although she always paid close attention to her own writing skills, it took an angry phone call from a client about an expert witness report by one of her subcontractors to make her realize that accuracy was key to her success.

One way to overcome this is to realize that it isn’t difficult to learn certain basic principles of writing: simplicity, brevity, and accuracy.

Relationship marketing is becoming an increasingly popular phrase in the business world. Steve Catchick, an expert in sales and service, expands on the meaning of this concept and focuses it on service. He defines this as 100% attention on the client.
Taking it a step further, he says that everyone in the company or organization should be empowered to take the initiative to serve the customer. This kind of service also creates repeat customers, which, in Steve’s view, is the core of a company’s success.
This podcast is filled with specific tools you can use in your own business. He explains how to recognize who in your workforce are ambassadors, those who go the extra mile, neutrals, the people who do only what they have to, and saboteurs, who complain and bring down the energy level.
Steve describes a process for effectively establishing rapport with a client, especially one who is angry about a perceived lack of service. He recommends empathy and assertiveness, qualities that can keep one’s emotions from interfering with communication and rapport.
This podcast is a mini-course in developing and improving customer relations. You’re certain to discover several insights and suggestions that you can immediately put to use.
Join me in this episode of Legal Nurse Podcast to learn about Attorney Customer Service Challenges for LNCs

How to Create Lasting LNC-Client Relationships
Use this book to examine the way you manage your relationships with your clients. It may affirm that what you are doing is great. It will give you new insights and strategies for solidifying relationships.
Working with attorneys is both challenging and rewarding. Without a steady stream of attorneys who love working with you, your legal nurse consulting business collapses. Does this worry you? It should!
The core of being a successful LNC is being able to effectively work with attorneys. Are you on the top of your game, or would having concrete tips from a person who has been in the trenches with attorneys help you? You can have an aggressive marketing program to bring in new clients, but if you cannot retain them, you’ll be endlessly spinning your wheels. There are secrets of why your clients will stay with you. Pat shares them in this book.
When Pat ran her independent LNC business, some attorneys stayed with her for more than 20 years.
Do you know how to spot the trouble-making attorney as soon as you have the first contact, or are you ever caught off guard? Difficult clients can cost you time, aggravation and money. Here’s how to not get hooked by them.
How to Create Lasting LNC-Client Relationships explains the best way to build a solid client retention program, using strategies that work to identify the desirable clients and avoid the trouble makers.
This is an essential reference for every LNC.

Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Email | RSS | https://podcast.legalnursebusiness.com/subscribe-to-podcast/
You pick up the phone, and an angry attorney starts shouting about his bill or an expert witness report, or something else that has his blood boiling? How can you defuse him? How can you turn an “I lose you lose” situation into a mutual win?
This area is Steve Catchick’s specialty, and he joins us in a podcast that you’ll want to listen to and/or read more than once.
Steve uses an acronym, BREAD: Behavior, Rapport, Empathy, Assertiveness, and Detachment. He thoroughly describes each of these terms, with specific examples of how to achieve them.
The effective use of language plays a large part in Steve’s approach. He advises to never say, “I understand.” You may understand technical procedures, but because every person is unique, you can never thoroughly understand what they are feeling. Instead, say, “I appreciate” or a similar phrase. He spends considerable time on how to deal with different types: the aggressive, passive, passive aggressive, and assertive person. Each requires a different approach, with the passive aggressive person being the most difficult.
No one wants to deal with an angry person, but they inevitably enter our lives. Instead, you want to acquire the skills to make these encounters “I win, you win.”
• How can you establish rapport with an angry client?
• How do energy levels relate to rapport?
• What’s the difference between rapport and empathy?
• How does imagination relate to empathy?
• What’s the most effective way to deal with passive aggressive people?

Working as an LNC is all about the details—and the practitioner has to consider many details beyond those in the case material you receive, like conflict of interest. Ally Kayton, an LNC and neonatal specialist with a Ph.D. in nursing, highlights some of the critical areas with which an LNC must be familiar.
She emphasizes the importance of checking for conflict. Because smaller practices are increasingly merging and often become part of national network, LNCs may work for several years on a case only to find that a conflict of interest has developed.
An LNC must also have a keen understanding of the standard of care that operated during the time frame when the medical incident occurred. Ally has volumes covering 18 years of standards for neonatal care.
Ally also emphasizes the careful reading of all documentation about a case, including depositions and opposing opinions. Not only is this crucial to the LNC’s understanding of a case, reading different opinions will expand one’s LNC knowledge base.
Underlying all of her recommendations is the importance of working with integrity. Being meticulous in every area of your work reflects that and is the hallmark of an excellent legal nurse consultant.
Be prepared for a priceless introduction to the world of in-house LNC work.

- 611 Mary Beth Kerstein on Crafting Effective Chronologies for Legal Nurses by Patricia Iyer MSN RN LNCC

Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Email | RSS | https://podcast.legalnursebusiness.com/subscribe-to-podcast/
In this podcast episode, we explore Crafting Effective Chronologies for Legal Nurses. Creating chronologies that have multi-purpose functions in a range of cases is one of the services attorneys are most likely to request. Today we have an expert in this area, Mary Beth Kerstein, who will share with you what she’s learned about this important service.
Attorneys lack both the time and medical expertise to prepare a chronology, and it’s not a job that can be handed off to a paralegal. This is where LNCs can prove their value.
Mary Beth addresses a number of practical issues. Since all records don’t arrive at the same time, you need to find a way to indicate new information for the attorney’s benefit. She details how to do this.
The biggest issue is deciding what information is pertinent for a chronology. As this will also determine the length and number of billing hours required, she recommends that you ask the attorney what he or she wants. You can also provide samples of chronologies you’ve done.
She emphasizes that the chronology should be opinion-free. Expert witnesses, opposing attorneys, and other parties may see this. If the attorney wants it, you can provide your opinion about the case in a separate email.
You can also offer to provide additional services, like a list of providers or a medical glossary.
You will find the content of this podcast to be an invaluable resource to help you excel in this highly requested service.
Here’s What to Expect from the Podcast: Crafting Effective Chronologies for Legal Nurses – Mary Beth Kerstein
- How does an attorney benefit from having an LNC prepare a chronology?
- How do you organize a chronology where multiple providers are involved?
- How do you discern what’s important to put into a chronology?
- Should chronologies be opinion-free?
- What are invisible injuries?

In this podcast episode, Pat shares how to build your LNC writing skills and succeed. She is a proficient and prolific writer, having written 68 books, with several more on the way. Although she always paid close attention to her own writing skills, it took an angry phone call from a client about an expert witness report by one of her subcontractors to make her realize that accuracy was key to her success.
And it’s key to your own success. Whether you write a report, a blog post, newsletter, or promotional letter, your writing skills need to be the best they can be. They say who you are. They speak to your expertise on all levels. They establish you as a professional.
Pat has noticed as a writing coach to LNCs that a big issue that stops them is lack of self-confidence. One way to overcome this is to realize that it isn’t difficult to learn certain basic principles of writing: simplicity, brevity, and accuracy. These qualities alone will raise your writing to a higher-than-average level, and that will give you greater self-confidence.
This episode will provide a valuable outline to help you develop your writing skills. You’ll want to save it for regular review.
Here’s What to Expect from the Podcast: Build Your LNC Writing Skills: How to Succeed
- How important are writing skills to an LNC?
- How can correct grammar, punctuation, and spelling affect an attorney’s opinion of your skills?
- What are some of the promotional writing methods an LNC uses?
- Why is improving your self-confidence as a writer so important?
- What does Warren Buffett say about writing skills?

Rick Jeune is a speaker and consultant who specializes in small businesses. He has created several successful businesses and is starting another one. He brings his expertise in the world of small business to this podcast about your ideal LNC client.
He believes that three primary principles that help to create a successful business. Self-knowledge is the first of these. If you don’t know who you are, and if you aren’t aware of how you change, you won’t know how to be in relationship with others, especially your clients.
Secondly, you need to know who your ideal clientele is. Otherwise, you won’t attract them to you.
Finally, you need to have a sense of what the pressures and triggers are that your clients are facing in their own work environment, so that you can provide a little bit of give and take. This last part can be delicate because too much accommodation will attract high—maintenance clients. You need to set boundaries while at the same time rewarding those clients who fit your ideal criteria. When these clients recognize your appreciation of their particular burdens, they will not only give you repeat business but will recommend you.
Wherever you are in your business, you will benefit from Rick’s practical recommendations. Don’t miss this podcast.

How to Connect With Your Ideal Attorney Clients by Speaking Their Language
Do the words “sales” and “marketing” make you cringe?
As a legal nurse consultant, do you believe focusing on “sleazy” sales cheapens your intention to provide valuable services for your ideal attorney clients?
Do you say, “I’m not a used car salesperson. I don’t sell refrigerators. Why should I care about a Unique Selling Proposition (USP)?
Here’s why: You don’t sell cars or refrigerators, but like those who do, you have bills to pay. Would you rather cringe and avoid selling and marketing or benefit from loyal attorney clients who send you cases?
