An Expert Witness for Your Immigration Case
Attorneys retain me when a case needs more than a document: sworn declarations, affidavits and live courtroom testimony on trauma, extreme hardship and psychological impact, backed by fourteen years of clinical practice in three languages, statewide.
What you get from me
- Written reports built for admissibility
- Declarations and affidavits under oath
- Testimony live, in the courtroom or remote
- Opinions on trauma and hardship impact
- Affidavits on mental-health competency
- Interviews in three languages, exhibits translated
How it works
- STEP 1Attorney intake
You reach me directly and we scope the case, the deadline and the referral question.
- STEP 2The interview
I sit with your client for a structured, trauma-informed interview in their own language.
- STEP 3Report, then the stand
The written report lands in 7 to 14 days, and I testify whenever the court needs me.
Frequently asked
Do courts accept an LCSW as an expert?
Yes. Immigration courts regularly qualify LCSWs as experts on trauma, hardship and psychological impact, and I have done exactly that.
What do I get beyond the written evaluation?
The evaluation is the document. Retaining me as an expert witness adds sworn declarations and my live testimony in court on top of it.
