Mental Health
Angela Vickers Advocacy – Angela Vickers has written the best articles I have ever read on the subject of mental health, specifically, brain illnesses. She has done a tremendous job educating legal community about these illnesses. One day, the criminal justice system will be radically transformed on a much higher level, and Angela will have been one of the driving forces behind that change.
Psychological Associates – When I need unbiased, accurate psychological evaluations for my clients, I rely on this group of practitioners. In my opinion, Dr. James Larson, Ph.D., is the best forensic, diagnostic evaluator I have ever worked with. Jim has testified hundreds of times in criminal cases, he is known for telling it like it is, and he is well-regarded by prosecutors and defense attorneys alike.
