Transparency and Efficiency

Lorio Forensic consultants have professional degrees in medicine, psychology, social work, public health and law.

Our efficient engagement process accounts for your demanding schedule, ensures that we are clear on your forensic question, and assures that you are assigned a forensic mental health expert with clinical and consultation expertise that is relevant to your case. We don’t just tell you who is a good fit for your case, but why. We have redacted sample reports to share on request, and our experts’ testimony experience is attached to every CV.

Cultural and Structural Humility

Through a lens of cultural and structural humility, Lorio Forensics provides excellent forensic mental health consultation services that are grounded in relevant academic and clinical experiences. At every phase of the consultation process, we consider both cultural and structural (i.e. educational systems, child welfare, healthcare system inequities) issues that are relevant to the case.
Our expertise in, consideration of, and appreciation for these issues distinguishes the Lorio Forensics approach. Our backgrounds, both personal and professional, uniquely equip us to not only incorporate these factors into the consultation process but to also communicate about them effectively through our reports and testimony.

Mental Health Expertise

Lorio Forensic consultants have professional degrees in medicine, psychology, social work, counseling, public health and law. Our Forensic Psychiatrist, Forensic Psychologist and Forensic Social Worker consultants conduct independent evaluations, create forensic reports and provide expert testimony services of exceptional quality at a range of price points. Our clinicians are in multiple states and have consulted on cases in every major region of the country. Our unique breadth and depth of collective experience and training enables us to provide consultation in criminal, civil, and family court cases. Additionally, we create and deliver informative CLE content that has been featured during plenary sessions at multiple conferences.

What Attorneys Say About Us

Testimonial for Dr. Courtney McMickens, MD
"Thank you again for assisting us on this case. I think the report will benefit the client at sentencing, but more importantly, help them understand some of their past behavior and hopefully change some of those when released."
Testimonial for Alena Aguilar, LMSW
"Your report made such a difference helping our client, who was initially sentenced to life without parole, secure release from prison. And your work has been equally compelling in our ongoing case. What I am most impressed by is how comfortable you made our clients feel; they both said so explicitly. The environment you created helped them feel safe enough to disclose critical mitigating evidence that otherwise would not have been revealed."
Testimonial for Dr. Sarah Vinson, MD
"I was lucky enough to be part of the Airlie Conference this past weekend. I am still processing the impact that it had on me as an attorney and more importantly as a human being. Your presentation, your knowledge, and your message at Airlie was one of the best trainings on mental health that I have ever seen. I wished more of my defenders were there to learn from you."
Testimonial for Dr. Michelle Durham
"Thank you so much, Dr. Durham for your work in this case – so happy with today’s outcome. Looking forward to working with you in the future."
Testimonial for Dr. LeRoy Reese, Ph.D.
Hey Dr. Reese! We were able to secure a low-end sentence in this case. This was literally what we hoped for and worked so hard for. I cannot overstate how pivotal your report was in getting the prosecutor on our side, and eventually the Court as well.
Testimonial for Dr. Sarah Vinson, MD
"I have worked with the most respected and renowned forensic experts in the country and Dr. Vinson’s testimony and work rivaled, if not surpassed, anyone that I have ever worked with."
Testimonial for Dr. LeRoy Reese, Ph.D.
"While the DA’s office will not say why they withdrew the death sentence, I truly believe it was your work and pretty much your work alone that accomplished that."
Testimonial for Alena Aguilar, LMSW
Alena was vital to winning significantly reduced sentences in federal court for two of my clients whose lives had been significantly impacted by gangs. Even though we had to work remotely, Alena was able to connect with me and with my clients effectively. Her reports were thorough and, most importantly, targeted to the needs of the case and the judge overseeing it. In her written report, she was able to make the client's suffering and trauma real. At the same time, she provided a realistic, and truly helpful assessment, about what the client would require going forward. I would use her again in the future.
Testimonial for Dr. Tiya Johnson, MD
“We so appreciate your dedication and thorough approach. We also very much appreciated how prompt you were with reviewing the records, scheduling an evaluation with the client at the prison, your flexibility with using Zoom for that evaluation, and all the work drafting your report.”
Testimonial for Dr. LeRoy Reese, Ph.D.
"We were able to secure a low-end sentence in the case. This was literally what we hoped for and worked so hard for. I cannot overstate how pivotal your report was in getting the prosecutor on our side, and eventually the Court as well."

We are committed to reliable excellence in forensic mental health - making culturally and structurally informed consultations more accessible throughout the United States.
