Forensic Case Consultation Services - $350/hour billed by the hour with a two hour minimum

The prosecution, an individual’s attorney, or family may find it useful to contract a forensic psychological consultant when there is a question intersecting law and mental health. Every situation is unique and should be approached from the unique context of the individual's own functioning and history, with an understanding of the legal proceedings surrounding the specific case.

This can be a lengthy process which includes requesting and reviewing records, interviewing the individual, the individual's family members, as well as others with knowledge of the individual, and speaking with an attorney or team.

This practice does not treat family members as holding privledge, even when they assume financial responsibility and/or the individual is under 18 years or age. Any forensic information, scores, or reports created in a forensic assessment or consultation will be provided only to the individual and/or their attorney.

Clinical information gathered during the forensic process which is deemed relevant to the care of a patient by the practice provider may be shared with the healthcare provider, guardian, or parent of a client with an appropriate release of information on file.
