Dr. Locketz is a certified life care planner (CLCP), qualified to provide high-quality valuation of damages for those with long-term medical needs in cases of severe injury or illness.
A Life Care Plan attempts to answer three basic questions:

- What will be the associated costs incurred for medical care over the lifetime of the individual?
A life care plan crafted by Dr. Locketz is a comprehensive and meticulously detailed document designed to address the long-term medical needs of individuals with severe injuries or chronic conditions. The plan is structured around three core components: facts, expert opinions, and quantifiable conclusions.
