Many criminal defendants struggle with psychological problems, cognitive deficits, and/or psychiatric symptoms.

Mental illness can interfere with a person’s ability to adequately participate in his or her defense. Other times these individuals are mentally unstable during the commission of their crimes and should not be held fully responsible for the offense. You might have a friend or family member who is facing criminal charges, as a result of his or her mental instability. 

You may want to request that a mental health expert thoroughly evaluate this individual’s mental health functioning. 

This evaluation can explain how mental illness may have contributed to the defendant’s circumstances and criminal offense.

We have extensive experience evaluating people involved in the legal system, drawing conclusions about their current mental state or their mental state at the time of the offense, making recommendations regarding their mental health functioning and how to best meet their needs, and testifying in court.
