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.
