Neuropsychological & Forensic Services
Dr. Witbeck offers specialized forensic neuropsychological services to support attorneys and legal teams in cases involving cognitive, psychological, and neurological concerns. A key aspect of her work includes in-depth consultation services focused on reviewing neuropsychological evaluations conducted on the plaintiff. This involves a detailed analysis of the opposing expert’s report, including a critical review of the assessment methods used, the validity of the testing procedures, interpretation of the data, and the soundness of the conclusions drawn. She examines whether the evaluation adheres to professional standards and whether alternative explanations or confounding variables were adequately considered. Her services also include comprehensive record review, assessment of collateral information, and consultation on how the findings may support or contradict the claims being made. Dr. Witbeck works closely with attorneys to develop strategies, prepare for cross-examination, and ensure that the neuropsychological evidence presented is both scientifically accurate and legally relevant.
She also provides specialized consultation in cases involving allegations of elder abuse, neglect, and wrongful death within nursing homes and long-term care facilities. Her services include a comprehensive review of medical, psychological, and behavioral records to assess the individual's cognitive status, functional capacity, and decision-making ability before and during the period in question. Dr. Witbeck will evaluate documentation for signs of unmet medical or psychological needs, changes in mental status, and potential indicators of neglect or abuse. This analysis enables attorneys to determine whether proper standards of care were followed and whether cognitive impairment may have contributed to the individual’s vulnerability or impacted their informed consent. Her objective, evidence-based approach supports both plaintiff and defense teams in understanding complex clinical information and building a clear, accurate picture of the case.
