Forensic Evaluations

Forensic Psychology is the application of psychology to the legal system. Specifically, forensic psychologists assist those working within the legal system, such as attorneys, judges, and jurors, in making well-informed legal decisions by providing them with specialized knowledge. We have extensive training and experience conducting forensic evaluations for both courts and attorneys in the following areas:

Juvenile Forensic Evaluations:

• Fitness to Proceed

• Responsibility

• Certification/Waiver to Adult Court

• General Psychological Evaluations and Treatment Needs

Adult Forensic Evaluations:

• Competency to Stand Trial

• Sanity

• General Sentencing/Mitigation Evaluations

• Capital Sentencing Evaluations

• Risk Assessment (Violence Risk and Sex Offender Risk)

• General Psychological Evaluations with Treatment Recommendations

Rates for forensic evaluations are typically billed on a hourly basis for all related services, including consultation, testimony, and travel.

Consultation

We are available for consultation to attorneys, judges, law enforcement, or other mental health professionals regarding various topics related to forensic evaluations in criminal cases and mental health services in forensic settings. We are also available for presentations and speaking engagements regarding similar topics.
