A Streamlined Referral Process for Attorneys

Submit a Referral
Attorneys provide the evaluation type, jurisdiction, preferred language, relevant deadline, and a brief referral question using our existing attorney referral form.
Case Review and Evaluator Matching
Our team reviews the request and identifies an appropriately qualified evaluator based on professional licensure, case requirements, relevant expertise, language needs, and availability.
Evaluation and Clinical Assessment
The evaluator conducts an independent, case-specific assessment using appropriate clinical interviews, supporting documentation, and additional assessment methods when indicated.
Forensic Report and Professional Coordination
A structured forensic report is prepared according to the agreed scope. Appropriate communication with referring counsel occurs when authorized.
Evaluation scheduling, fees, report timelines, and expedited options are discussed according to the case requirements and evaluator availability. No particular clinical finding or legal outcome is guaranteed.
Scheduling & Timelines
Evaluation Timelines & Expedited Services
Responsive Forensic Evaluation Services for Time-Sensitive Legal Matters
We recognize that immigration proceedings, criminal defense matters, and other legal cases often involve important filing dates, hearings, and documentation deadlines. Our team works with referring attorneys to establish realistic evaluation schedules based on case complexity, clinician availability, jurisdiction, and documentation requirements.
Standard Evaluation Scheduling
Comprehensive clinical interviews, assessment, documentation review, and forensic report preparation coordinated according to the agreed case scope and scheduling availability.
Expedited Evaluation Requests
Time-sensitive evaluation requests may be accommodated when evaluator availability and case requirements permit. Expedited scheduling and report preparation are subject to confirmation and may involve additional fees.
Attorney Coordination
Professional communication regarding referral questions, anticipated report timelines, required documentation, scheduling considerations, and appropriate follow-up requests.
Important Scheduling Information: Evaluation availability and report delivery dates are confirmed individually. Expedited services do not alter clinical independence, professional standards, or the thoroughness required for a defensible forensic assessment.
Evaluation Standards
What Attorneys Can Expect From Our Evaluations
The scope and components of each forensic evaluation depend on the referral question, available evidence, case complexity, and clinical appropriateness. Depending on those factors, evaluations may include:
Comprehensive clinical and psychosocial interviews with the individual being assessed.
Appropriate clinical assessment measures and standardized instruments when indicated.
Review of relevant records and collateral information when available and authorized.
Diagnostic impressions and functional findings within the evaluator's professional scope.
Independent forensic formulation addressing the specific referral question.
Identification of assessment limitations and consideration of alternative explanations.
Individualized treatment, rehabilitation, or clinical recommendations when appropriate.
A professionally documented report suitable for submission in the applicable legal proceeding.
Not every procedure is included in every evaluation. The assessment scope is determined by the evaluator based on the referral question, clinical appropriateness, and professional standards. No particular clinical finding, diagnosis, or legal outcome is guaranteed.
