Because Sometimes You Need a Lawyer Who IS a Doctor!

When the law and medicine collide, no two cases are ever alike and things can become complicated pretty quickly.
Mitchell S. Nudelman, MD, JD, has been licensed to practice medicine and law since 1986 and 1991, respectively. He was a Fellow of the American College of Legal Medicine from 1993 to 2020 and currently serves on the board of directors for the American Academy of Legal Medicine, Inc. A native New Yorker, he has practiced in Georgia since 1991.
After a more than twenty years predominantly serving defense counsel, insurance carriers, and employers in a very wide range of cases involving medical care issues and other medical legal matters, which often involve multiple medical specialties and complex medical facts, Dr. Nudelman now also works for those who are injured. He specializes in areas where Medicine and the Law collide. His past insider experience - including working with many of the premier defense attorneys in Georgia and many other states - has given him invaluable insight into what might be expected from the other side in litigation.
Dr. Nudelman also has vast experience locating, retaining, and then preparing expert medical witnesses. His unique education and training in both law and medicine enable him to help litigation teams navigate extremely complex medical-legal cases, even cases with pressing, rapidly approaching deadlines.
Dr. Nudelman graduated from the University of Rochester (NY) with a BA in Biology, where he did research at the medical school in RNA tumor virology. Studying abroad in Spanish he earned his medical degree in 1983 from the Universidad Tecnológica de Santiago (UTESA).
