Recapture the power to bring genuine justice to the vulnerable, and make your practice more profitable.

Consulting:  Cases involving head injury or competency cases involving financial judgement

Clarify the strengths of your case, avoid pitfalls, get the best evidence-based information.

  • In an hour or two, Dr. Stone can explain the science that will strengthen your case, and help you pick apart the other side's expert testimony.
  • You get your fees, your clients get justice.
  • Unlike most expert witnesses, who are clinicians, Dr. Stone has spent 19 years teaching brain science to undergraduates, making complex technical ideas clear to non-experts. She can explain psychological tests and brain science in clear terms for non-psychologists.
  • Befuddled by psychologists' jargon? Dr. Stone can clarify psychologists' reports, and can guide you in the key questions to ask to get the best information from an assessment.


    • When you get test results from expert psychologists, be certain those tests are well-grounded in science. Make sure psychologists involved with your clients' cases do the psychological tests most relevant to the case. Dr. Stone provides the best value not in doing assessments, but in providing information on the latest research that provides the scientific evidence base for psychological tests commonly used, and in pointing to some newly available tests.
