Whether you need a few questions answered or an expert to testify, Godoy Medical Forensics should be your first call.

OUR MISSION

To make a positive impact on the justice system through education, science, and professional expertise

OUR SERVICES

When a case needs a medical expert witness, most attorneys think to call a doctor.
We have taken that concept and pivoted it to provide professional registered nurses (RNs) that have a solid clinical background in emergency, trauma, and critical care.
Nurses that work in these units have knowledge in all areas of medicine, which allows them to review almost any case, criminal or civil.

OUR EXPERTS

Nurses Specialized in Forensics

Our core team of nurses takes their clinical knowledge and seeks out education in forensic specialty areas such as child abuse, blunt force trauma, strangulation, sexual assault, gunshot wounds, and even death investigation/homicide.

“As a seasoned criminal defense trial attorney, my experience with Tara Godoy and Godoy Medical Forensics has been excellent, a true professional, and great results.”

– Miguel A. Hernandez
Private Criminal Defense Attorney, Monterey County
