​Marcelle is responsive, knowledgeable, professional, and thorough. She not only interpreted the records and notes, but provided insight into how the medical procedures failed when compared to customary medical procedures, made suggestions, proposed strategies aimed at assisting in securing the desired result, and proposed and located a number of experts. I would highly recommend Legal Medical Link for any cases needing forensic review of medical records and related services.
