Tailored Face to Face Assessments for Criminal Law
In criminal law cases, the need for face-to-face assessments often arises when a detailed understanding of an individual’s mental state is critical to legal arguments. Our psychological and psychiatric experts provide nuanced evaluations that help legal professionals address complex questions of culpability, intent, capacity, and mens rea, the defendant’s mental state and intent at the time of the offence. This expertise is invaluable in cases where:
A defendant’s mental health is central to determining their fitness to stand trial.
An assessment of diminished responsibility, insanity, or the presence of mens rea is required to evaluate the defendant’s understanding and intent.
Developmental factors or behavioural patterns are relevant to understanding the context of an alleged offence.
With extensive experience in both clinical settings and legal proceedings, our experts deliver clear, coherent, and objective findings that stand up to the scrutiny of the court. Whether the case involves determining a defendant’s criminal responsibility or providing critical insight into their capacity and intent, our assessments ensure reliable and admissible evidence tailored to the unique requirements of criminal law contexts.
