Work Product Review
We offer professional work product reviews (also known as single subject expert testimony), which can offer peace of mind to legal professionals that their materials meet necessary standards. Work product reviews are utilized to support attorneys, courts, and other legal professionals in ensuring the accuracy, reliability, and thoroughness of psychological evaluations, reports, and other relevant documents completed by other psychologists.
Our analysis will identify key strengths of their work, while also highlighting areas that require further clarification, improvement, or additional evidence. Our forensic psychologists carefully examine existing work to ensure that a work product is comprehensive, accurate, and meets the necessary professional standards and best practices in our field.
Consultation
Our providers can work in a consultative role to assist attorneys in a variety of cases. Consultation is often beneficial in cases where there are concerns about a psychological issue or substance abuse problem, or when there are questions about an evaluation or assessment of a client. As a consultant, our providers can conduct a work product review, record review, and provide education to attorneys about specific issues. A consultant can testify in court as to their opinions.
