Welcome to Eyes of Power Trauma Care ! 

I'm D'Sheene, also known as Leoline. I specialize in identifying hidden trauma and helping to reduce the risks of re-traumatization. I’m excited to have you here and look forward to sharing my knowledge and expertise with you.


After attending numerous Independent Medical Examinations (IMEs) and depositions during my lawsuits, I realized how stressful and emotionally draining the process could be. Throughout this experience, I had to learn how to manage my emotions effectively, ensuring that my trauma did not influence my responses during the litigation process.

I Love Helping Lawyers And Their Clients

Over the years, I have had the pleasure of working with numerous personal injury lawyers and their clients as an Independent Medical Examination (IME) consultant. During this time, I have witnessed the emotional challenges that clients faced when recounting the details of their accidents while responding to questions from the defendant's doctors.

Recognizing that I could make a greater impact, I decided to launch the Eyes of Power Trauma Care company.

**Litigation, Clients, and Trauma**

The litigation process can be lengthy and overwhelming for both clients and attorneys, often leaving clients struggling with the effects of retraumatization. Consequently, they may miss important appointments such as Independent Medical Examinations (IME), No-Fault Examinations (NFE), Defendants Medical Examination (DME) sessions, depositions, and even the trial itself. These behavior patterns can benefit the defendants and diminish the potential financial recovery for the plaintiffs.

As a personal injury lawyer, you frequently work with traumatized clients. This role involves reviewing their medical records, sometimes examining graphic images, and devising strategies to maximize the value of each case. Such a demanding workload can lead to desensitization regarding clients' injuries over time. The challenges of dealing with catastrophic injuries, clients, and trauma are significant. Each injury is unique to the client, and the impact of trauma varies from person to person.

Research indicates that lawyers who work with traumatized clients can experience secondary trauma, which may ultimately affect them both personally and professionally.


What They Say

I’ve attended hundreds of IME’s and have witnessed how emotional they can be. Some clients cry, break down and take breaks when they must re-live the events of their accident. D’Sheene has added value to the IME Watchdog service. How? Over the years she has been in such high demand – lawyers call me and specifically request her and I have had lawyers tell me that their client is refusing to attend their appointment if D’Sheene won’t be there. Their next questions would be, what is so special about the IME watchdog because this or that client’s case is worth a lot of money or this is a big case. I would tell them the truth – D’Sheene is highly educated and extremely skilled in trauma.

I welcome this new service that I strongly believe will help the attorney, their client and also other IME watchdogs. Lawyers will be able to better understand their client’s behavior, their client can get the help they need so they can best navigate the IME process. This puts the client in control and minimizes the chances of a decrease in case value.

D’Sheene’s service will save lawyers money since there is a fee for every time their client does not attend their appointment.

At times IME bookings involve client’s that we call “high profile” because they need a female IME watchdog or their case involve the death of another which can be very emotional for the client when attending an IME. I will call upon D’Sheene to cover those cases. I have even called D’Sheene a few times while she had been on vacation and she didn’t hesitate to accept the case.

Odd, but there had been a time where a defense lawyer called to retain her for an IME and D’Sheene despite the dollar amount referred the case to be booked through the IME platform. She is loyal to the IME watchdog company and this new service can only add value, elevate stress and keep money in the lawyers pocket. I believe that personal injury attorney’s would find value in this new service that could only lead to successful outcomes in their cases.

I first met D’Sheene when she was my client. I can tell you firsthand that D’Sheene, like so many other clients, was experiencing trauma and fear associated with her lawsuit. Clients are scared to appear at their depositions, IME, or worse…their trial. I once had a client who, without telling me, boarded an Amtrak train the morning his trial was set to begin because he did not want to deal with reliving his trauma. I had no idea he was so scared to go to trial and was forced to settle his case just before opening statements for pennies on the dollar.

Although it is no secret that IMEs, depositions, and trials can be overwhelming for clients, attorneys often forget this. We know that one of the keys to the successful resolution of any personal injury lawsuit is to understand your client; however, we sometimes forget what it is like in their shoes. I have called on D’Sheene for her expertise to help me better understand how my clients process their trauma and assist them in dealing with that trauma. I believe that personal injury attorneys would find value in this new service that has helped me obtain greater outcomes in my cases.

I know firsthand that D’Sheene is in the helping profession and has had great success as an IME consultant. She knows the field and knows how to pull back the seemingly endless layers of trauma, getting to the root of the matter and making a difference in the lives of so many. Additionally, I’ve taken her leadership course on best responses to trauma in the workplace and began utilizing the tools I learned to educate my colleagues in trauma-informed care practices.

Coaching with D’Sheene has just been AWESOME….

I met D’Sheene while living in upstate NY because we were neighbors. During a conversation, I quickly realized all of D’Sheene’s talents and her ability to guide me on the journey that I needed to be on.

As a former veteran and trauma survivor of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and Military Sexual Trauma, I have been through quite a few therapeutic sessions.

Thanks to D’Sheene, today I am able to set realistic goals with action steps to achieve them. I make more informed decisions in my relationships and put boundaries in place for myself and others. D’Sheene thank you for guiding me to realizing my strengths and weaknesses.

I met D’Sheene at the Reflections Yoga Studio in Manhattan, NY during an event. I was immediately drawn to her after learning about the amazing work she is doing for trauma survivors.

I am a survivor of trauma and I have worked with D’Sheene for 9 months for trauma recovery; personal growth and most recently crisis coaching after being let go from my job of 13 years. It continues to be a pleasure working with D’Sheene and thanks to her coaching tools I am now happily employed.

I applaud her for all the awesome work that she does which continues to be such an inspiration.
