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 partial advance payments of the estimated evaluation cost.

Dr. Kaplan and her team conduct forensic evaluations and provide expert testimony in State and Federal courts.  These evaluations are either court-ordered, or we are 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, our goal is to help the Trier-of-Fact to have a better understanding of a defendant/respondent by explaining complex psychological 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. 

Let us help you navigate complex legal and psychological issues with clarity and confidence. A detailed list of all testimonial services will be provided upon request. *Insurance is not accepted at this time
