Fast, efficient service with the human touch
Dedicated to providing expert witnesses for Prison Law cases
The practice of Forensic Psychology is intrinsic to prison and parole cases; with prisoner rehabilitation, re-offending risk, mental health assessment among other areas heavily dependent on the opinion, testimony and recommendations of experts and their Medico-Legal Reports. A complex area of law; public safety, consideration of victims and well-being of offenders are all affected by judgements and decisions made by probation services, parole boards and legal authorities.
