About Tim Cotter

I am the founder of Whitehorse Consulting Group, a nationwide EMS expert consulting firm serving plaintiff-side attorneys in civil rights and serious injury litigation. I am a retired Fire Captain and Paramedic with more than three decades of street-level emergency medical, supervisory, and command experience, and I am also a licensed trial attorney.

Through Whitehorse Consulting Group, I provide expert analysis and litigation support in cases involving emergency medical response, in-custody medical care, restraint and chemical sedation, mental-health crisis response, and inter-agency coordination between EMS and law enforcement. My work includes case evaluation, expert opinions, deposition preparation, and trial strategy support where EMS standards of care and command decision-making are central issues.

In addition to my consulting practice, I am licensed to practice law. My legal training allows me to frame EMS conduct in litigation-ready terms, anticipate how emergency medical decisions are evaluated in court, and work seamlessly with counsel under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. I approach each engagement with independence, precision, and professional integrity.

I am admitted to practice law in Minnesota and in the United States District Courts for the Districts of Minnesota, Nebraska, and North Dakota.

His knowledge of the law and attention to detail are impressive, and it’s clear that he approaches every case with dedication and integrity. At the same time, he remains kind, patient, and approachable — qualities that make a tremendous difference when you need guidance and reassurance. What truly sets him apart is his communication.
