Forensic Evaluations and Counseling

Evaluation and Assessment 

The primary purpose of forensic mental health evaluations is to provide expert opinions and information to the legal system. They are often used to assist judges, attorneys, and other legal professionals in making decisions related to criminal and civil cases. Dr. Hamilton uses a variety of assessment tools and methods, including face to face interviews, pyschological testing, review of records and collateral information collected from other sources.
