Role of a psychology expert witness

Our psychology expert witnesses are skilled in conducting detailed, objective assessments in both civil and criminal proceedings. Their roles may include:

  • Assessing the mental state of a suspect or defendant
  • Evaluating cognitive abilities and mental capacity
  • Reviewing factors such as violence, substance misuse, and psychological risk

Psychology experts are frequently instructed in family, criminal, and immigration cases. With many subspecialties in the field of psychology, selecting the right expert is essential - and we are committed to making the right match for your client’s needs.

Our commitment

Whether your case involves criminal, child and family, or parole matters, we provide objective, evidence-based psychological assessments. We carefully assign the most appropriate expert from our extensive panel to ensure your client receives the highest standard of evaluation. We also offer face-to-face assessments, where required.
