how dr. gustin can help
Dr. Gustin will assess, draft and present Affidavits of Merit as appropriate & needed for your case to proceed.
“One of the specific services I offer is the preparation of Affidavits of Merit in jurisdictions that require this filing before litigation can proceed in a medical malpractice or negligence case. After a thorough review of the medical records and relevant materials, if I determine that the plaintiff’s case meets the threshold of medical merit—meaning there is a reasonable and supportable basis to allege a deviation from the standard of care that resulted in harm—I will provide a clear, professionally written Affidavit of Merit. This document is crafted to meet legal requirements while reflecting my independent medical judgment and expertise. I only provide such affidavits when I am confident in the validity of the claim, ensuring that my involvement adds credibility and weight to the case from the outset.”
