I regularly speak to attorneys, forensic scientists, police, and judges about psycholegal issues, especially cognitive bias in forensic contexts. See my CV for a full list of CLEs and invited talks.

Please e-mail me directly if you are interested in having me speak to your organization.

I also provide expert consultation and/or testimony, particularly in criminal cases or post-conviction appeals where the reliability of forensic or medicolegal evidence is at issue.


Attorneys seeking expert assistance should e-mail me directly. While I typically receive more requests than I can accommodate, I will gladly assist to the best of my ability.

Since 2022, I have served as Vice Chair of the Human Factors Task Group of the NIST Organization of Scientific Area Committees (OSAC) for Forensic Science.
