How It Works
Our assessment process is designed to be thorough, efficient, and responsive to the needs of referring organizations. We maintain clear communication throughout and deliver reports within agreed timelines.
Court Order or Legal Referral
Assessments are initiated on the basis of a court order, consent order, or formal referral from legal counsel. We review all relevant court documentation, medical records, and legal materials prior to the assessment.
Forensic Interview
A structured forensic interview is conducted in accordance with applicable professional guidelines. The purpose, limits of confidentiality, and nature of the assessment are clearly explained to the examinee at the outset.
Collateral Information
All available collateral information — including police records, correctional records, prior psychiatric records, and witness statements — is reviewed and integrated into the clinical formulation.
Forensic Report
A comprehensive forensic psychiatric report is prepared, addressing the specific legal questions posed by the court or referring party. Reports are structured to meet admissibility standards and are written for a legally sophisticated audience.
Expert Testimony
We are available to provide expert evidence in court, tribunal, or arbitration proceedings, and to respond to cross-examination in a thorough, composed, and evidence-based manner.
