We have a team of neuropsychologists that uses a peer review process on all cases. Our staff was trained at Children's Hospital in Boston, Yale University Child Study Center, and Harvard Medical School, to name a few. In addition to Neuropsychological and Neurodevelopmental assessments, our team thoroughly reviews each case and can provide PowerPoint presentations, professional charts, brain models, resource materials, and research to help educate your audience.
Our Mission is to provide our clients with compelling, scientifically driven services. We are committed to utilizing and integrating current research, record review, neuropsychological data collection, observation, and in-house peer review to deliver objective, state-of-the-art reports and testimony. We pledge to provide our expert opinions in an effective, ethical, clear, and unbiased manner.
We have been entrusted with multi-million dollar cases for a variety of reasons:
The Right Clinician:
We have experts in a wide variety of brain injuries and other neuropsychological syndromes, (e.g. toxic exposure, slip and fall). We have staff trained to work with individuals in every age group.
Free Case Review:
Before detailed work on your case begins, a preliminary discussion of your case is offered to determine whether our services will be of benefit to you and your client. If the neuropsychological evidence is not likely to be helpful, we will tell you up front.
The BNS Team Approach:
Our team approach ensures that our reports and our testimony are compelling. The lead neuropsychologist assigned to the case must present the evidence to a panel of other BNS neuropsychologists who try to represent the opposing side in the case. The final report that is sent to you is scientifically based, worded compellingly, and has survived multiple attacks by qualified professionals. This enables us to stand behind our product as a company and we provide this service at no extra cost to you.
Credibility:
Our staff are well-trained by leaders in the field at institutions such as Harvard Medical School, Cornell University, Children's Hospital of Boston, Boston Medical Center, the University of California at Irvine and the Yale Child Study Center.
Convenience:
We understand the time and financial pressures involved in legal proceedings. Our forensic cases are given top priority for scheduling and for assigning the clinician best suited to the case.
We are members of APA, INS, MPA, MNS, Div40. Call for a free consultation. 877-283-7863; www.bnsforensics.com
