  • Expert Witness Testimony: Our psychiatrists provide expert testimony in legal proceedings, offering insights into the impact of mental health on behavior and decision-making.

  • Child Custody Evaluations: We evaluate the mental health and parenting capabilities of individuals involved in custody disputes, helping courts make informed decisions in the best interests of the child.

  • Consultation Services: We provide consultation services to legal professionals, including lawyers, judges, and other stakeholders, on mental health issues in legal cases.

  • Correctional Psychiatry: Our team provides mental health care to individuals in correctional facilities, addressing mental health disorders and ensuring appropriate care and treatment.
