An attorney forms an opinion about you before you finish your first sentence. Research shows it takes as little as a tenth of a second to judge a stranger's face and that snap judgment is hard to undo.
For legal nurse consultants, that's not a minor detail. It's the difference between an attorney who trusts you with a six-figure case and one who quietly moves on to someone else.
Attorneys are trained to evaluate people constantly the way a jury would, the way a claims adjuster would. They're reading your posture, your handshake, your pace of speech, your filler words, long before they read your CV.
Most LNCs never learn this. You received nursing education, not how volume, intonation, and pace shape whether an attorney sees you as composed or unsure. You didn't find out why a weak handshake or a rushed introduction can undercut the expertise you spent years building.
