Forensic Evaluation & Expert Witness Services
A forensic psychologist’s job is to express expert psychological observations in legal terms that courts can readily understand. This work is complex and requires a forensic evaluator to research cases thoroughly, psychologically evaluate difficult subjects, and present legally valid testimony. I have received advanced training in the area of Forensic Evaluation and have provided Expert Witness and psychological assessment services for both civil and criminal cases. Topics may include:
- Assessment of personal injury and emotional distress
- Employment issues
- Evaluation of possible malingering
- Assessment of mental state for insanity plea
- Competency to stand trial
- Prediction of violence and assessment of risk
- Evaluation of dependency, parenting, and child custody issues in divorce
- Specialized forensic personality assessment
- Mitigating circumstances for sentencing
- Threat assessment and management
