EXPERT SERVICES FOR CRIMINAL & CIVIL CASES
Litigation Consulting
I help attorneys understand behavior that can be difficult to explain in complex cases. I provide clear analysis of how coercion, fear, dependency, trauma, and exploitation can affect a person’s choices, actions, and testimony — helping legal teams see the full context and make more informed strategic decisions.
