Not on any public list — by design.
Our experts are selectively recruited, not self-nominated. Many on public directories are pay-for-opinion. Ours aren’t. That distinction wins cases.
Active Clinical Practice
Every expert is currently practicing — current knowledge of standards of care, not decade-old memories.

What attorneys say.
Cortex matched me with a fellowship-trained spine surgeon within 18 hours. His report was airtight and he was outstanding at deposition. This is my first call on every complex injury case.
We’ve used expert directories for years and the quality is inconsistent. Cortex’s experts are genuinely elite — actively practicing, properly credentialed, and credible to juries.
I needed a podiatric surgery expert on a tight timeline. Cortex delivered a board-certified surgeon with the exact sub-specialty I needed. Absolutely seamless.
