Forensic Mental Health Evaluations

Clarity. Credibility. Precision.

At Lighthouse Resolution Group, we provide structured, evidence-based forensic mental health evaluations designed to assist courts, attorneys, and organizations in complex legal matters.

Our work extends beyond family law. We conduct forensic evaluations across criminal, civil, employment, and immigration domains where clinical objectivity and legal defensibility are essential.

Each assessment integrates clinical expertise, standardized psychological testing, forensic methodology, and ethical rigor — resulting in reports that are clear, comprehensive, and able to withstand scrutiny.

Types of Forensic Evaluations

We provide evaluations related to:

• Criminal mitigation and sentencing considerations
• Juvenile and adult competency-related concerns
• Immigration hardship and psychological impact evaluations
• Fitness-for-duty and occupational psychological assessments
• Risk and behavioral threat assessment
• Mental health status evaluations for court proceedings
• Court-ordered psychological evaluations

All evaluations are conducted using data-informed methodology, standardized instruments when appropriate, and structured forensic interview protocols.

Our Forensic Process

Objective. Methodical. Defensible.

1. Structured Referral & Case Review
We begin with a formal referral process and review of legal pleadings, records, discovery materials, and prior clinical documentation.

2. Clinical Interview & Psychological Testing
Each evaluation includes comprehensive forensic interviews and standardized psychological assessment tools when indicated. Testing is selected based on referral question and legal relevance.

3. Collateral Information
When appropriate, we obtain and integrate collateral data from third parties, employment records, prior providers, or relevant documentation.

4. Analysis & Report Development
Findings are synthesized into a structured, evidence-based report addressing the specific legal question. Reports include diagnostic impressions (when relevant), clinical formulation, and clearly articulated professional opinions.

5. Expert Testimony & Consultation
We provide courtroom testimony, deposition services, and case consultation when required.
