Medico-legal reports
Our medico-legal reports provide detailed psychiatric and psychological analyses tailored to legal cases. These documents are prepared by specialists with court experience, ensuring clarity on mental health issues in personal injury, family law, immigration, and criminal proceedings. Each report adheres to legal standards and is delivered within agreed deadlines.
ADHD/ASD assessments
Specialised evaluations for ADHD, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and related conditions support legal cases requiring diagnostic clarity. Conducted by experts following NICE guidelines, these assessments include cognitive testing, behavioural analysis, and recommendations for legal or care planning contexts.

Comprehensive psychiatric evaluations address conditions like PTSD, depression, and personality disorders in legal contexts. Our psychiatrists assess causality, impact on functioning, and treatment needs, providing evidence-based insights for court proceedings or case strategy.

As a member of the Expert in Mind team it is very upsetting to read the below comment by Emily Parva as firstly we have never employed someone with that name and secondly it is very difficult to find staff who are capable of the role and most importantly team players.

I have worked with expert in mind in the past but this time it was a personal query. They treated it as thoroughly and helpfully as they always did for medicolegal reports. A great team helping some brilliant experts.
