Wilson Psychological Services

I usually work for the courts and private lawyers, as forensic psychological evaluations are my speciality. These evaluations have become sought after for the criminal justice system by answering important forensic questions. For example, assessing someone’s competence to stand trial can help courts make appropriate decisions on issues such as sentencing, granting privileges, and community reintegration. By having the court tailor their decisions based on an accurate psychological evaluation, the community is safer while the defendant’s rights are also protected. I can help by utilizing multiple sources of information in an effort to conduct a thorough forensic psychological evaluation. These sources include a comprehensive record review, clinical interview, collateral information, and objective psychological testing. The review of available records may include clinical records, police reports, and arrest records. With today’s research, a forensic evaluation can provide valuable information to persuade a judge or jury in court. It is hard to argue against an empirically guided opinion, which is supported by objective psychological data. Therefore, a credible forensic evaluator can be beneficial for your clients, as well as ensure the safety of the community.
