Biopsychosocial evaluations for immigration-related cases are available, including T-VISAS, VAWA, Asylum, U-VISAS, and Hardship Waivers. These evaluations help document the emotional and psychological impact of immigration-related proceedings to ensure a holistic approach in your court outcomes.
Psychological Evaluations for Immigration-Related cases are typically sought out by attorneys looking to strengthen their client’s court case. I’m trained to address cases involving T-VISAS, VAWA, Asylum, U-VISA, and Hardship.
A psychological evaluation is used in court-related cases to identify the emotional impact that the court findings may have on a client. In immigration cases, this means identifying the impact of potential deportation or other related outcomes, while considering the client’s circumstances, history of trauma, and emotional and psychological symptoms. This can help the court take a holistic approach and determine a case outcome.
The fee for this evaluation is $1200. Sliding scale available on a case by case basis. This includes 3 hours of face-to-face meetings (either virtual or in-person) between the client and the evaluator, collaboration between the evaluator and attorney, phone calls to other relevant parties, psychological testing, and completion of the evaluation in a timely manner. Court appearances, if required, are subject to additional fees.
Private Child Custody evaluations are available to support court decisions that focus on your child’s best interest. These evaluations offer clear, child-centered recommendations to help guide custody decisions and reduce conflict and stress for your child.
Child Custody Evaluations for cases in Montgomery and Bucks county start at $7000 ($3500 per party). Other counties are subject to additional fees. This includes 6 evaluative sessions (as noted below), and the completion of a full and comprehensive evaluation report.
A Child Custody Evaluation allows clinical insight to be provided to the courts regarding the child’s needs. This holistic approach is often weighed heavily in the custody planning for cases where parents are on different pages as to what would be in the child’s best interests.
Both parties are required to pay for half of the custody evaluation, but one party often does not like the recommendations of the evaluation. In fact, given the typical tension in the co-parenting relationship, there’s often some part of the evaluation recommendations that are upsetting to both parties. However, take heart that my goal is to prioritize the best interest of your child, and my recommendations are made after multiple interviews (including interviews with both parents, the child(ren), and often other professionals, such as teachers, therapist, doctors, etc.).
If your evaluation is court-ordered, contact your attorney to obtain a court order that appoints me as the evaluator. We can then begin the consent form process.
