Frequently asked questions
Why should I interview an evaluator before booking?
Because the evaluation will carry your story into a legal process. You deserve to know the professional's license, evaluation experience, languages, process, fees, and timing before committing. A good evaluator welcomes these questions.
What is the most important question on the list?
Ask about clinical independence: the evaluator documents what is true, not what anyone wants written. An evaluator who promises a favorable report regardless of findings is a warning sign, not a shortcut.
Can I use this list with any evaluator?
Yes, the list is intentionally universal. Bring it to any licensed professional you are considering, anywhere. It exists to help you make an informed, unpressured choice.
Do I need all of these questions?
No. Tick the ones that matter to your situation and print just those. A focused list of eight beats a wall of thirty.
