- Personal Injury & Disability Claims: Assessing the psychological and cognitive impacts of injuries and disabilities on individuals’ functioning, daily life, and quality of life.
- Criminal Cases: Providing assessments related to criminal responsibility, mental state at the time of the offense (insanity defense), competency to stand trial, and risk of reoffending.
- Family Law: Expert assessments in divorce cases, domestic violence matters, and other family disputes where mental health or psychological well-being is a key issue.
- Sexual Abuse & Trauma: Evaluations regarding the psychological effects of trauma and abuse on victims and perpetrators.
- Competency Evaluations: Determining whether individuals have the mental capacity to make informed decisions, particularly in legal or contractual matters.
Our forensic experts provide independent, unbiased opinions based on thorough evaluation, standardized testing, and clinical interviews, ensuring the information presented in court is both reliable and relevant.
