Frequently Asked Questions

If you are still determining the type of expert witness you need, contact Concise Medico.

With over a decade of experience in medico legal matters, we are adept at analysing each case to identify the type of expert needed.

Whether you need a psychiatrist expert witness or a psychologist expert witness depends on the specific requirements of your legal case.

Generally, a psychiatrist specialises in mental health and can diagnose and prescribe medication, while a psychologist focuses on behavioural and cognitive aspects of mental health.

Consider consulting with an attorney to determine which expert would be more suitable for your case.

Our psychology expert witness can help you with the following cases:

  • Mental capacity and fitness to stand trial
  • Re-offending risk assessments
  • Suggestibility and false confessions
  • Witness reliability
  • Criminal responsibility
  • Pre-sentencing reports
  • Mental health and personality disorder assessments
  • Prison parole hearing assessments
  • Psychological effects of a personal injury
  • Family court proceedings
  • Deportation and detention matters
