What are the fees for forensic services (and for missed appointments)?
Because of the difficulty of legal involvement, I charge $250 per hour for preparation and attendance at any legal proceeding. If therapy or testing is in connection with a legal case, I will ask you to sign a separate contract, specifying the specifics of my involvement. Insurance carriers do not consider forensic services to be health-related and usually refuse any coverage. You will be asked to pay for forensic services prior to the service, either in full, or in the form of a to-be-agreed-upon retainer. If you have to cancel, please let me know at least 72 hours (3 days) in advance. If you cancel with less notice, or no show, you will be charged a flat fee of $450. If you become involved in legal proceedings that require my participation, you will be expected to pay for my professional time even if I am called to testify by another party.
