Deposition & Trial Testimony
Clear, "Unflappable" Expert Witness Services for Urgent Care Litigation
The strength of a medical malpractice case often rests on how well the expert witness performs under pressure. A written report is only as good as the expert's ability to defend it during a contentious deposition or cross-examination.
Dr. Max Lebow provides experienced, resilient expert testimony for Plaintiff and Defense counsel nationwide. With experience in over 70 case reviews and 15+ testimonies, Dr. Lebow is known for his calm demeanor, thorough preparation, and ability to explain the Urgent Care Standard of Care in plain English.
The "Unflappable" Witness
Opposing counsel often uses aggression, hypothetical traps, or confusion tactics to rattle medical experts. Dr. Lebow's philosophy is simple: Stick to the facts.
"I don't get rattled."
"My philosophy is to stick to the facts and not be distracted by attorneys making outrageous hypotheticals or aggressive behavior. Even an aggressive attorney cannot make you alter your opinions if you know the case backwards and forwards."
Why this matters for your case:
Resilience
Dr. Lebow does not retreat from his opinions when challenged. He defends his conclusions based on the medical record and established guidelines.
Credibility
By remaining calm and professional, he maintains credibility with the judge and jury, whereas an argumentative expert often appears partisan.
Educating the Jury & Judge
The Urgent Care environment is unique and often misunderstood. Jurors may not understand why an Urgent Care doctor didn't order a CT scan or why they sent a patient home. Dr. Lebow excels at translating complex medical concepts into lay terms.
Placing the Jury in the Provider's Shoes
He explains the decision-making process based on what was known at the time of the visit, not in hindsight.
Defining the Standard
He clarifies that the Urgent Care Standard of Care is different from the ER, specifically regarding the limited resources available (no MRI, no stat labs).
Visualizing the Care
He articulates the rationale for triage and discharge decisions in a way that resonates with non-medical professionals.
Attorney Support: Preparing You for Deposition
Dr. Lebow's role extends beyond his own testimony. He actively assists retaining counsel in preparing for the deposition of the opposing expert.
Anticipating the Opposition
Dr. Lebow reviews the opposing expert's reports to identify weaknesses, biases, or misapplications of the standard of care (e.g., applying ER standards to a clinic setting).
Crafting Questions
He helps you draft specific questions that force the opposing expert to concede critical points regarding Urgent Care limitations and protocols.
Strategy Sessions
Before testimony begins, Dr. Lebow works with you to ensure you understand the medical nuances that will be the battleground of the case.
Logistics & Availability
Nationwide Coverage
Dr. Lebow is available for deposition and trial testimony throughout the United States. He is accustomed to handling multi-state cases and understands the logistical requirements of national litigation.
Remote & In-Person
Zoom/Video Depositions: Fully equipped for professional, high-quality remote testimony.
Live Testimony: Available to travel for trial when in-person impact is required.
Thorough Preparation
Dr. Lebow does not "wing it." Before any testimony, he conducts a "deep dive" review of the medical records, focusing on disputed areas and identifying every detail that the other side might challenge.
