Your Questions, Answered.
Q. What does a psychological expert witness do?
A psychological expert witness provides professional evaluations and testimony to help the court understand complex mental health issues. This may include assessing a person’s mental state, capacity, or emotional functioning and presenting those findings in clear, objective terms.
Q. What is an Independent Psychological Examination (IME)?
An IME is an evaluation performed by a neutral psychologist who is not involved in treatment. It offers an independent opinion about a person’s psychological condition for legal, disability, or workplace cases. These evaluations are evidence-based and objective, helping attorneys or agencies make informed decisions.
Q. How long does a psychological evaluation take?
The process varies depending on the type of case and information required. Most evaluations include an initial consultation, review of records, psychological testing (if needed), and a written report. The full process typically takes one to three weeks once all materials are received.
Q. Do you provide testimony in court?
Yes. Our licensed psychologists are experienced in offering expert testimony and depositions. We present findings in clear, professional language that supports the legal process and withstands scrutiny.
