What I Can Do For You

Case Review and Guidance

Not sure if a case is too complicated or worthwhile to hire a medical-legal consultant? I am happy to review and let you know if your case is something we an assist you with. My team and I have experience with a vast variety of cases and medical-legal issues, so give me a text or call.

Physician Life Care Planning

Offer both catastrophic, and non-catastrophic, Physician Life Care Planning services. Many believe Life Care Plans are only for major injury cases, with smaller, "every day injury" cases being ignored. We do them all, so give me a text or call to discuss.

Expert Medical Witness

As a Board Certified Occupational Medicine physician, I have treated thousands of patients in my career spanning over 15 years, and I still have an active practice. Besides being an Expert Medical Witness as a Life Care Planner, I also can assist with Occupational Medicine cases as well. Feel free to reach out.

With family in the legal profession, it is natural to see how best I can serve both referring attorneys and their clients

What Others Say

“Top notch”

Dr. Lawler is top notch when it comes to all things related to workers' compensation. He’s highly adept at explaining difficult medical topics in easy-to-understand terms and guiding professionals with situations related to medical-legal issues. We have worked together on various cases over the past decade, and he has provided best in class service to every law firm, client, and friend I have referred. Dr. Lawler has my highest recommendation for anyone looking for a great physician that specializes in medical-legal consultation. You won’t find a fiercer defender of patient care and privacy as well as more skilled technical medical expert able to handle the most complex medical-legal matters.

He is one of the most hardworking and professional physicians that I know, and that translates into his medical-legal consulting work as well. With his diverse medical background in Occupational Medicine, in addition to both catastrophic and non-catastrophic Life Care Planning, I know his contributions to this field will be outstanding.
