  • Parental competence, child custody, and adoption
  • Spousal maintenance
  • Psychological malpractice
  • Social Security Disability Determination
  • Worker's Compensation

 

 

Procedure


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 subject, and a current mental status assessment. We provide oral and written reports as requested.
