Erica Thomas, MS, CCC-SLP

Multi-State Forensic Speech-Language Pathologist & Consultant

Attorneys often deal with complex neuro-medical records where the "truth" is hidden in the nuances of a swallow study or a cognitive assessment. I bridge the gap between clinical data and legal merit.

With over 11 years of neuro-rehabilitation experience, I specialize in the intersection of brain function and legal reliability. I don't just report what is in the records; I audit the records for what is missing—the functional deficits that drive case value.

I hold active licensure to provide direct evaluations and expert testimony in:

Arizona • California • Colorado • Florida • New Mexico • Pennsylvania • Virginia • Washington

Nationwide Forensic Consulting (Record Review Only) is available for all other jurisdictions.
