Our methods are objective, fair, and defensible. We begin with a review of available records including medical and mental health treatment records, previous psychiatric and psychological evaluations, complaints, other legal records, and personnel records. We proceed with a psychological evaluation relying on objective and well-validated personality and cognitive tests, a thorough history obtained from the evaluatee, and a current mental status assessment. We provide oral and written reports as requested.


• Expert Witness Testimony

Psychological characteristics, level and quality of motivation, personality traits, psychopathology, and historical behavioral patterns often have significant bearing on legal issues, and the outcome of a case may rest on the expert testimony regarding a litigant's psychological profile. Our reports are comprehensive, defensible, based on objective data, and able to withstand rigorous scrutiny in court. We will do whatever possible to answer the questions at issue, and to assist the trier of fact in coming to the most accurate conclusions.


• Psychological Trial Consultation

We offer case preparation services to help defense and plaintiff attorneys working on cases with psychological or psychiatric issues. We can research the relevant professional literature to help develop specific direct and cross-examination strategies.
