Medilex was founded in Rockville Centre, New York, in 1992, as collaboration between internist/geriatrician Paul Lavinger, MD; cardiologist/internist Herbert Wegweiser, MD; and attorney Michael Lavinger. Their vision was to provide fair, honest, and cost-effective advice to attorneys handling cases involving medical issues. The process began with a novel concept: triage every case as a free courtesy/interface. Dr. Lavinger brought almost 40 years of medical experience to Medilex, including 15 exclusively as a geriatrician coordinating the care of thousands of his own elderly patients among specialists in nearly 40 fields. Michael Lavinger added legal acumen combined with a pragmatic, logical style. Together they triaged approximately 1,000 cases.After the passing of Drs. Lavinger and Wegweiser, Michael Lavinger triaged more than 1,000 cases with a forensic pathologist. Michael Lavinger continues this unique "medical-legal residency," personally triaging every case as a free courtesy and supervising the expert work on every matter. Since 1992, 100 percent of his work has been devoted to consulting with attorneys and medical experts on nearly 15,000 cases spanning 170+ fields.
