§ 01 · What this work is
A forensic evaluation exists to answer a legal question for a court, an attorney, or an agency — not to treat the person being evaluated. That changes everything about how the work is done: informed consent addresses the limits of confidentiality, multiple data sources are required, validity of effort is tested rather than assumed, and every opinion in the report is tied to evidence the trier of fact can inspect.
Dr. Campbell holds the two credentials this work actually turns on: she is a Licensed Clinical & Forensic Neuropsychologist, able to speak to brain–behavior relationships with standardized measurement, and a Board Certified Behavior Analyst, with specialized fluency in autism, ADHD, and neurodevelopmental presentation. Most forensic psychologists are not neuropsychologists. Most neuropsychologists do not take court orders. This practice is built on both.

Full detail§ 03 · The evaluation process
Counsel, the court, or a referring clinician sends the referral question, court order or stipulation if applicable, and case caption. Conflicts are checked before any substantive discussion.
Scope, fee agreement, and timeline are confirmed in writing. Dr. Campbell identifies the records needed — medical, educational, legal, employment — and counsel or the court supplies them.
Clinical interview, standardized and validated testing selected for the referral question, and collateral interviews where indicated. In-person in Long Beach or Los Alamitos, or via telehealth where appropriate.
A court-ready written report: methodology stated, data presented, opinions tied to evidence and expressed to a reasonable degree of professional certainty. Built to withstand cross-examination.
Declaration, deposition, and trial testimony are available. Dr. Campbell explains technical findings in language judges and juries follow.
Send the referral question — Dr. Campbell will tell you directly whether the matter is within scope, and decline it if it isn’t. All inquiries are reviewed within one business day.
