Forensic caseload includes plaintiff and defense IMEs in civil cases; criminal evaluations for not guilty by reason of insanity; diminished capacity; mitigating factors in sentencing including capital sentencing, competency to stand trial and waive rights; civil competency and guardianship; fitness for duty for safety sensitive personnel; parental capacity evaluations and best interest of the child evaluations (technical assistance only in family law cases due to NJ law); and evaluations for academic and testing accommodations. Treatment caseload includes motor vehicle accident and work accident cases with a focus on trauma and mild TBI. Our Director of Training, Jonathan H. Mack, Psy.D., ABN, FACPN, is a board-certified neuropsychologist with over 30 years of experience in forensic neuropsychology and forensic psychology, having testified over 200 times in a wide range of jurisdictions and states.
