Litigation & Forensic Services
An expert opinion when you need it most.
We are committed to providing comprehensive, defensible, and evidence-based opinions for litigation. We are experienced in implementing evidence-based, ethical, and best-practice standards for vocational evaluations, record reviews, and vocational rehabilitation.
Consultation
Retaining a vocational expert can swiftly change the dynamics of a case. Consultation is a discreet means of benefiting from the knowledge and experience of a vocational expert without having to disclose their contributions to other involved parties.
Comprehensive Vocational Evaluation
A comprehensive vocational evaluation includes a review of pertinent records, psychometric assessment, and collection of relevant personal history through a clinical interview. We customize our selection of assessments for each case to best answer the questions at hand.
Vocational Opinion Rendered from Record Review
The dynamics of litigation may prevent the vocational expert from communicating directly with an evaluee. A vocational opinion may still be rendered based on records made available to the vocational expert.
