My years of collaboration with attorneys on a wide range of cases provide the experience you need.

I am skilled in communicating the psychological factors and motivations driving client behavior with jargon-free language that judges and juries can understand.

My forensic assessment or expert testimony can clarify your presentation of the legal issues and have a profound impact on the outcome of your case.

When your legal issue has a psychological component, a comprehensive forensic report,
together with expert witness testimony, can make all the difference.
