Court appearances can be a stressful and difficult event in someone’s life, I WILL NOT appear in court on your or your child’s behalf. Coming to court can place undue stress on the therapeutic relationship and confidentiality. I must answer all questions honestly and cannot favor your side of a case. I can ONLY answer the questions the lawyers and judge ask and with only answers that I can prove...Speculation, judgments and/or inferences are not allowable responses. I would also need to charge for my time appearing in court, whether I get called to testify or not.
​Letters...It depends on the requested content of the letter. I will consider writing one, but strongly urge you to discuss with your attorney whether or not it will beneficial to your case and discuss the pros and cons of such a letter. In most cases, a letter will not be accepted without the therapist present.
