Forensic Evaluations for Mitigation

We Present the Complete Picture
-
Comprehensive Background: Analysis of trauma, health, and history.
-
Mitigate Sentencing: Demonstrate rehabilitation potential and reduced risk.
-
Evidence-Based: Reports grounded in records, testing, and interviews.
-
Complex Cases: Expertise in serious legal and clinical presentations.
-
Court-Ready: Clear, respectful, and legally relevant narratives.
-
Contextualize the Offense: Move beyond the charges. We analyze the "broader context"—including trauma, mental health, and neurocognitive issues—to explain why an offense occurred.
-
Humanize the Defendant: We weave developmental history, medical records, and social environment into a coherent, clinically grounded narrative.
-
Inform Sentencing Decisions: Critical for serious or complex cases, our findings help the court fairly weigh culpability, risk, and rehabilitation potential.
-
Rigorous Methodology: At Segel Psychological Center, we combine in-depth interviews, collateral data, and targeted testing to build a defensible, evidence-based report.
-
Shape Future Outcomes: Our evaluations do more than explain the past; they provide clear recommendations for treatment and long-term support to reduce recidivism.
