Forensic Evaluations

My first forensic evaluation was a natural extension of the seven years I spent as director of drug treatment at Cedar Junction prison, at that time the only maximum security prison in Massachusetts. It involved an aid -in-sentencing evaluation of a young man who confessed to making bomb threats.

In the mid-nineties I completed over 100 hours of forensic training under the auspices of the American Academy of Forensic Psychology and for a few years had all my evaluations reviewed by Dr. Paul Lavoie, a Designated Forensic Psychologist.I performed numerous civil commitment and aid-in- sentencing evaluations since that time.

In recent years my forensic practice has focused on Competency, NGI, and Miranda Waiver cases. Some of these cases involved mentally retarded individuals and included aspects of false confession. I have served as an expert in only one civil tort case ,involving poor clinical treatment of substance abuse and depression resulting a suicide attempt.

Attorneys Daniel Solomon (617-367-5800), Mark Miliotis (978-502-2558), and Steve Ferrarone (413-253-1363) have all graciously agreed to serve as references.
