About Us

Making Trauma Behavior Make Sense In Court

Victim responses to trauma, such as delayed disclosure, not leaving the offender or flat affect, are often misunderstood in court. These common trauma-related behaviors must be understood in context—not used to undermine the credibility of victims or defendants.

We bring together extensive real-world clinical experience and scientific research to explain the impact of trauma on memory and behavior. Our experts assist attorneys, judges, and juries in understanding offender and counterintuitive victim behavior.

We make expert testimony financially and logistically accessible across the nation

Our experts most commonly testify as generalized experts, rather than fact-specific experts with detailed knowledge of the case. This approach strengthens cases by making complicated psychological concepts financially accessible, credible, unbiased, and yet still relevant.
