As the founder and CEO of Clear Choice Medical Legal Consulting, she has revolutionized the way attorneys’ approach medical record analysis and understanding complex medical concepts for their cases. Ms. Russo embarked on her legal nurse consulting journey when she was approached to assist in a large and intricate multiple plaintiff anesthesia case. It was during this challenging project that her passion for legal nurse consulting was ignited. At Clear Choice Medical Legal Consulting, Ms. Russo and her team offer comprehensive assistance to attorneys nationwide, ensuring they gain a thorough and in-depth understanding of the medical aspects of their cases. By meticulously reviewing medical records and deciphering complex medical principles, she empowers her attorney clients to make well-informed decisions and present compelling arguments in the courtroom. As an advanced practice CRNA with a profound understanding of anesthesia and critical care medicine, she brings unparalleled expertise to the legal landscape. Ms. Russo's experience as a clinical and didactic instructor in anesthesia for two university-based nurse anesthesia programs, University of Scranton Nurse Anesthesia Program and Cedar Crest College Nurse Anesthesia Program, further strengthens her ability to analyze intricate cases and provide insightful guidance to attorneys.
