Record Reviews & Rebuttal Opinions
Independent reviews and structured critiques that strengthen your case
Attorney-ready reports that identify weaknesses, clarify methodology, and provide defensible counter-interpretations.
Why Order a Record Review or Rebuttal
In adversarial settings, even small weaknesses in psychological evidence can decide outcomes. A rebuttal opinion or record review provides attorneys with clarity, leverage, and credibility at critical junctures in litigation.
Rebuttal Snapshot (Short-Form)
A concise 2–3 page “quick check” of another expert’s report. Highlights methodological gaps, construct drift, unsupported inferences, and alternative interpretations. Fast turnaround; often used as a first look before a full IME.
Full Rebuttal Review (Long-Form)
A comprehensive critique of an opposing expert’s report. Includes methodological analysis, guideline and literature anchors, and a structured outline attorneys can use directly in motions, depositions, or cross-examination.
Record Chronology + Psychological Overlay
A timeline of medical and psychological records annotated to show where damages emerge, persist, or resolve. Simplifies complex cases, strengthens discovery planning, and provides a defensible narrative attorneys can build around.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
When should I order a Rebuttal Snapshot vs. a Full Review?
Snapshots are best for early-stage strategy or when a fast, inexpensive check is needed. Full reviews are suited for deposition, trial, or cases where the opposing expert’s opinion is central to outcome.
Can a rebuttal opinion replace an IME?
Not entirely. A rebuttal critiques another report but does not generate independent clinical data. Often, rebuttals are paired with or lead to full IMEs for maximum defensibility.
Can record reviews be used for demand letters or mediation?
Absolutely. Chronologies with psych overlays are frequently used at settlement stage to clarify damages and improve negotiation leverage.
