Forensic Psychological Evaluation Expert in Los Angeles

About Me – Your Forensic Psychology Expert

As a Licensed Psychologist with years of experience in both clinical and forensic psychology, my approach is grounded in professionalism, compassion, and a commitment to objectivity. I work with individuals, attorneys, and courts to conduct thorough evaluations in criminal and civil cases, ensuring that the psychological aspects of each case are fully understood.

I specialize in a wide range of forensic evaluations, including mental health diversion, competency to stand trial, criminal responsibility (insanity evaluations), and risk assessments. Whether I am assessing the link between mental illness and criminal behavior or determining an individual’s fitness for duty, my evaluations are always thorough and rooted in scientific evidence.

What I Do – How My Forensic Evaluations Can Help

In my forensic evaluations, I aim to answer key psycho-legal questions that help inform legal proceedings. These include:

• Does the individual have a qualifying mental health disorder?

• Did that disorder contribute to the alleged offense?

• Is the individual competent to stand trial, and can they assist in their own defense?

• Would the individual pose a risk to public safety if treated in the community instead of incarceration?

These are just a few of the critical questions I help answer through my evaluations. My reports provide the court with an objective, independent assessment of the psychological factors involved in a case, ensuring that decisions are made based on accurate and unbiased information.

How Can I Support Your Case

Whether you are an attorney seeking an expert evaluation or an individual involved in a legal matter, my role is to provide clarity and insight into the mental health components of the case. My evaluations are focused on delivering actionable information that helps the legal team understand how mental health may be influencing the situation.

I am committed to offering evaluations that are both scientifically sound and legally relevant, ensuring that all findings are clear and comprehensively address the questions at hand.

What to Expect from My Evaluations

If you choose to work with me, you can expect a thorough and respectful evaluation process. I begin by conducting an in-depth clinical interview to gather important background information and gain insight into your mental health history. I also review relevant documents, such as police reports, medical records, or court records. When necessary, I use standardized psychological assessments to support the evaluation.

Once I’ve gathered all the necessary information, I prepare a clear, objective report detailing my findings and answers to the legal questions. My goal is to make the process as transparent as possible, and I’ll always ensure that you understand each step.

Why Choose Me?

I believe in the power of clarity and the importance of objective findings. My role as a forensic psychologist is to offer an independent perspective that helps courts, attorneys, and individuals understand the mental health aspects of a case. I’m not here to advocate for any party; my goal is to provide evaluations that are scientifically sound, thorough, and useful to the legal process.
