Frequently asked questions
Before your next step.
How does an expert report differ from a clinical report?
An expert assessment addresses a question relevant to proceedings. It identifies sources, methods, findings and the reasoning behind its conclusions. The purpose of this work is assessment and evidence.
Can I enquire if another report already exists?
Yes. An independent review examines the sources, methodology and reasoning of an existing report. We first identify what can be reviewed and which records are needed.
Can you work with my lawyer?
We can coordinate the questions, documentation and preparation for testimony with your legal representative. Expert conclusions remain grounded in the findings of the assessment.
