MEDICO-LEGAL REPORTS
A psychological report for medico-legal purposes is a comprehensive document prepared by a psychologist or social worker that provides expert opinion on matters related to the intersection of psychology and the law.
​
We provide expert evidence in criminal, civil and administrative proceedings. Expert evidence from a clinical psychologist can assist a Court or Tribunal to understand and make determinations, depending on the extent of any psychological aspects that may be relevant to the legal proceedings.
​
Medico-legal reports are typically requested by legal professionals, such as lawyers, judges or insurance companies, to assist in legal proceedings or help resolve disputes.
​
