About Medical Legal Illustration
Medical legal illustrations are used as demonstrative evidence to help juries understand and remember complicated medical issues. Medical legal art is different from academic illustration because it is highly specific to explaining your case. The impact of credible and clear exhibits can result in increased verdicts. Below are examples of how my illustrations have assisted attorneys explain confusing or hard-to-see scans to juries. Contact me to talk about your case!
