We are proud to announce Aequitas Consulting LLC, led by the exceptional Maranda Kearse, as the recipient of the prestigious Best Legal Nurse Consultant in the Midwest of 2025 award. With over two decades of experience in the healthcare industry and specialized expertise in medical record review, healthcare litigation, and patient advocacy, Maranda’s unwavering commitment to excellence has earned her this well-deserved recognition.

Outstanding Expertise in Legal Nurse Consulting

Maranda Kearse’s career spans 20 years as a Registered Nurse and more than two decades in healthcare management, making her an invaluable asset to attorneys and legal professionals. Her certifications in infection prevention, wound care, and Gerontological Nursing, combined with her comprehensive understanding of Medicare/Medicaid benefits and long-term care, have solidified her as one of the leading legal nurse consultants in the Midwest.

Maranda’s ability to review medical records with precision and identify crucial issues in healthcare litigation is unparalleled. She is a trusted expert who helps attorneys assess the merit of cases, pinpoint deviations from the standard of care, and ensure the correct focus for legal action.

Demonstrated Expertise and Knowledge

Maranda’s broad skill set goes beyond medical record review. Her expertise extends to areas such as quality assurance, care plan management, state regulations, and compliance.

What sets Maranda and Aequitas Consulting apart is their dedication to transparency and honesty. As a legal nurse consultant, Maranda is committed to providing unbiased evaluations.
