About Nicole
Nicole Atencio, BSN, RN
Legal Nurse Consultant
Clinical Expertise Meets Legal Precision
With 10 years of hands-on clinical nursing experience, I have developed a deep understanding of medical standards of care, patient safety, and the complexities of healthcare delivery that are critical to legal cases.
Six of those years were spent in OB/GYN nursing, including serving as the primary nurse for an obstetrician — giving me specialized expertise in maternal health, labor and delivery, reproductive medicine, and the clinical nuances that frequently arise in obstetric litigation.
I founded The Nurse and the Law to bridge the gap between the medical and legal worlds. Attorneys, insurance professionals, and risk management teams deserve a trusted clinical partner who can translate complex medical information into clear, objective analysis — and that is exactly what I provide.
