All forensic referrals are accepted only through contracts with courts or attorneys at law. Dr. Kaplan does not accept referrals directly from court-involved private parties.   Forensic assessment services require a partial advance payment of the estimated evaluation cost.

Dr. Kaplan conducts forensic evaluations and provides expert testimony in State and Federal Courts.  These evaluations are either court ordered, or she is retained by the defense, prosecution, or a government agency.  Regardless the origin of the referral, the guiding ethics of a forensic psychologist is to serve the trier-of-fact (judge and/or jury).  As such, her goal is to help the trier-of-fact have a better understanding of a defendant/plaintiff by explaining complex concepts in order to assist with matters the court is considering.

In addition to education, training, knowledge, and experience, all opinions are based upon the records and information obtained.  A detailed list of all testimonial services will be provided upon request.

Let us help you navigate complex legal and psychological issues with clarity and confidence. *Insurance is not accepted at this time
