Specialized Consulting: Stalking & Harassment
While we handle a variety of forensic cases, we frequently provide specialized consultation to attorneys regarding stalking cases. Whether you are seeking a protection order or defending a client, our objective analysis is a vital tool for your legal strategy.
🏛️ For Attorneys Seeking Protection Orders
When representing a client who is in danger, evidence of intent and risk is crucial. Our reports inform the jurist regarding:
- The historical nature of the stalking behavior.
- The immediate risk for violence.
- The “risk for persistence” (the likelihood the behavior will continue).
Why this matters: These reports are generally well-received by jurors because they provide expert context and information they would not otherwise have access to.
⚖️ For Attorneys Representing the Accused
If you are representing a client accused of stalking, we provide critical support for trial strategy and mitigation.
- Mitigation & Treatment: We offer recommendations for substance abuse or mental health treatment that can influence sentencing or diversion outcomes.
- False Allegations: False claims of stalking can and do exist. Our experts can assist in identifying inconsistencies and objectively evaluating the validity of claims.
The Value of an Objective Report
The court system values credibility. Attorneys and jurors alike appreciate the unbiased and objective nature of our reports. We do not just advocate; we educate the court on the psychological realities of the situation, providing a solid foundation for legal arguments.
