How Turned Leaf Psychiatry Can Support You in Legal Matters

Life challenges can sometimes cross into the legal system, and mental health often plays a role in those situations. At Turned Leaf Psychiatry, we understand how stressful legal matters can be and how important it is to have experienced, compassionate professionals by your side. Our team provides psychiatric expertise that can help clarify, support, and advocate for your well-being when the law and mental health intersect.

Ways We Can Help

1. Forensic Psychiatric Evaluations

Legal cases often require clear, professional insight into an individual’s mental health. We provide comprehensive evaluations that may be used in:

  • Criminal cases (competency to stand trial, mental state at the time of an offense)

  • Civil cases (disability claims, malpractice, emotional distress)

  • Family law (custody, visitation, parental capacity)

These evaluations are thorough, evidence-based, and grounded in the latest psychiatric standards.

2. Expert Testimony

Courts often require the perspective of a trained mental health professional. Our clinicians can provide expert testimony, translating psychiatric findings into clear, objective information to help judges, juries, or attorneys understand the role of mental health in a case.

3. Fitness for Duty and Occupational Assessments

Workplace or legal disputes sometimes hinge on whether an individual is fit to perform certain roles. At Turned Leaf Psychiatry, we conduct fitness for duty evaluations and related assessments with fairness and professionalism, supporting both individuals and organizations.

4. Support During Stressful Legal Processes

Facing court hearings, custody battles, or other legal disputes can be overwhelming. In addition to formal evaluations, we provide therapeutic support—helping patients manage stress, anxiety, or depression during legal proceedings.

Our Approach: Compassion Meets Expertise

At Turned Leaf Psychiatry, our work in legal matters is guided by three principles:

  • Objectivity: We provide evaluations that are evidence-based and impartial.

  • Clarity: We explain psychiatric findings in straightforward language for both patients and the courts.

  • Compassion: While legal cases are often high-stakes, we never lose sight of the human side of mental health.
