About
Case Veritas was founded by Dr. Andrew Tisser and Gina Marra to bring clinical rigor and legal insight together at the earliest stage of case evaluation.
After years of working with attorneys on high-stakes medical-legal matters, we recognized a consistent problem: cases were moving to expert retention before the fundamental clinical questions had been answered. The result was wasted cost, delayed strategy, and cases that unraveled later.
We built Case Veritas to solve that problem—giving plaintiff attorneys a clear, objective, defensible assessment of case merit before significant resources are committed.
The Process
Secure upload. HIPAA compliant. We handle the organization.
Physician and LNC assess independently, then reconcile.
One clear proceed or decline recommendation delivered within five business days.
Methodology
Most screening services rely on a single reviewer. Case Veritas works differently.
Your case is assessed independently by two clinicians—a board-certified Emergency Physician and a licensed Legal Nurse Consultant—before either has discussed their findings.
Both clinicians review separately, with no shared findings until analysis is complete.
Physician and LNC findings are compared, discussed, and resolved into a single evaluation.
You receive one clear proceed or decline recommendation, not two competing opinions.
No anchoring. No groupthink.One clear answer.
The Testimony Firewall
Neither Dr. Tisser nor Gina Marra serves as a testifying expert on cases screened through Case Veritas.
The screening relationship and the testimony relationship are always separate.
Always.
From the Bar
If you need an accurate, thorough and quick screening for a case, I highly recommend Case Veritas. They have done a fantastic job at a great price.
Scott Weidenfeller, Esq.
Plaintiff Attorney
Before Case Veritas, we would spend thousands on experts just to understand whether a case made sense. Andrew and Gina provide a clear foundation early, helping shape strategy before significant costs are incurred.
John Kornak, Esq.
Plaintiff Attorney
I highly recommend Dr. Tisser if you need someone attentive, knowledgeable and engaging. He walked through each part of the medicine and made it easy to understand.

Insights
Many states require a physician to certify the merit of a medical malpractice claim before or shortly after filing. Here is how independent pre-litigation screening supports that process.
AI tools identify what happened. They cannot tell you whether it should have happened differently. The standard of care question requires clinical judgment, not algorithms.
Medical expert witnesses charge between $350 and $500 per hour for file review. The median upfront retainer is $2,000. And in the majority of cases they review, they find no basis for a claim.
