Forensic Evaluations

Expert psychological assessments for legal & court cases

Legal matters can be stressful, and courts often require individuals to complete psychological evaluations as part of legal proceedings. At Encore Psychology, we provide professional, objective forensic assessments to support attorneys, courts, and individuals in a variety of legal contexts.

Who needs a forensic evaluation?

Forensic psychological evaluations are often required in cases involving:

  • Court-ordered DUI/OWI and substance abuse evaluations

  • Adult guardianship assessments for individuals with cognitive impairments

  • Legal competency assessments to determine decision-making capacity

  • Psychological evaluations for attorneys, physicians, and courts

Types of forensic evaluations we offer.

  • Substance Abuse Evaluations

    DUI, OWI, and substance abuse assessments are typically court-ordered and involve a comprehensive review of substance use history. These evaluations determine whether an individual meets criteria for substance abuse, addiction, or substance misuse.

  • Guardianship Evaluations

    These assessments help determine if an individual, such as an aging parent or a family member with cognitive impairmen, requires a legal guardian. Evaluations consider factors like dementia, stroke, brain injury, or other conditions affecting decision-making ability.

  • Legal & Court-Related Psychological Reports

    We provide psychological assessments and expert reports for a range of professionals, including attorneys, physicians, and the court system.
