Two reports. Fourteen days. No auto-charge.
Review a sample report
A full sample forensic evaluation in your discipline is ready in your dashboard. See the complete Court Preparation Packet — findings, cross-examination questions, and verified case law — delivered after a thorough, multi-pass review in about 15–20 minutes.
Upload one of your own
Any evaluation type, any jurisdiction. Your upload is encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM and never leaves AWS. HIPAA compliant, BAA covered, audit logged.
Keep what you’ve generated
Fourteen days. No auto-charge when the trial ends. Reports you have already generated remain viewable even if you do not subscribe.
Three questions. One methodology gap. This is what ForensicShield catches.
“Doctor, you administered the PCL-R as part of your risk assessment, correct?”
“And you’re aware that the PCL-R was designed as a clinical assessment tool, not as a standalone predictor of sexual recidivism?”
“So you’re asking this court to commit this individual based in part on an instrument that was not designed to predict the specific behavior at issue — and you did not supplement it with an actuarial tool that was. Is that your testimony?”
ForensicShield would have flagged this before your report left your desk. The Court Preparation Packet would have identified the missing actuarial instrument, generated this exact cross-examination sequence, cited the relevant Daubert case law, and given you a response framework — all calibrated to your jurisdiction and the side that retained you.
This is what preparation looks like. This is what ForensicShield delivers before you take the stand.
A structured pre-cross review — calibrated to your case.
Upload your report. ForensicShield analyzes it through multiple specialized clinical lenses — not a single scan. Only corroborated vulnerabilities make it into your Court Preparation Packet. It never rewrites your conclusions or tells you what to say. You are the expert. ForensicShield is the preparation.
Clinical Depth, Not a Checklist
A missing instrument isn’t automatically a vulnerability.
ForensicShield evaluates whether the relevant constructs are adequately covered — through whatever combination of instruments, clinical interview, and behavioral observation you used. If your methodology addresses the construct, you won’t be penalized for not using a specific test.
Case-Specific Analysis
Every finding reflects your actual courtroom context.
A defense-retained SVP evaluation in a Daubert jurisdiction is analyzed differently than a court-ordered competency evaluation in a Frye state. The retaining party changes which questions opposing counsel will ask. The jurisdiction changes which standards your methodology is measured against.
Cross-Examination Preparation
You see the trap, the escalation, and a defensible response framework.
For every vulnerability, ForensicShield generates the question opposing counsel will ask — framed from their perspective, not yours. Calibrated to whether you’re facing prosecution, defense counsel, or both sides.
Verified Case Law
No hallucinated cases. No invented holdings.
Every case citation in your Court Preparation Packet is verified against federal court records. If a citation can’t be confirmed, it’s flagged — because an expert citing a bad case on the stand is the one mistake you can’t recover from.
What a Court Preparation Packet looks like.
Two cross-examination vulnerabilities flagged in a sample competency evaluation — each with clinical context, a response framework, the cross-examination question opposing counsel would ask, and verified case law.
Psycholegal Nexus Absent — Observed Symptoms Never Linked to Specific Legal Capacities
The body sections document pressured speech, labile affect, tangentiality, and active auditory hallucinations. The opinion section asserts “factual and rational understanding” without a written bridge explaining why those findings do not impair the Dusky-relevant capacities.
A reader walking from the Behavioral Observations to the Competency Opinion encounters a logic gap: the symptoms are documented, the conclusion is stated, but the reasoning connecting them is missing. Opposing counsel will frame the opinion as a conclusion without a reasoning chain.
Add a bridging passage in the Opinion section that names each documented symptom — tangentiality, hallucinations, labile affect — and explains, in the evaluator’s own words, why those findings at their observed severity do not rise to impairment of the specific legal capacities being affirmed under each Dusky prong.
“Doctor, your report documents active hallucinations, pressured speech, labile affect, and tangential thinking during the evaluation — where in your opinion section do you explain why those findings do not impair R.M.’s ability to rationally assist counsel?”
Defense Counsel Not Contacted — Ability-to-Assist Prong Rests Solely on Self-Report
The report documents no contact with R.M.’s defense attorney. The ability-to-assist analysis rests entirely on R.M.’s self-report — yet counsel is the most probative collateral source for the very prong being decided.
The documented behavioral observations — tangentiality, circumferential reasoning, loosely connected associations — are precisely the impairments that would affect attorney-client communication. Relying solely on the evaluee’s self-report for the prong most directly observable by counsel is the weakest possible evidentiary basis for that prong.
Conduct a structured collateral interview with defense counsel addressing whether R.M. has communicated coherently about the case, retained legal advice across meetings, maintained consistent positions, and shown any of the observed impairments during attorney visits. Document the contact in the Sources of Information section.
“Doctor, did you ever speak with R.M.’s defense attorney to verify whether the tangential thinking and loosely connected associations you observed have affected his ability to discuss the case — or did you rely entirely on what R.M. told you about his attorney meetings?”
Trusted by practitioners who take the stand.
One platform. Four disciplines. Each analyzed on its own terms.
Forensic Psychology
The baseline discipline.
Competency, criminal responsibility, risk assessment, custody — the full scope of forensic psychological evaluation, with methodology and construct adequacy calibrated to APA and AAFP standards.
Forensic Psychiatry
Calibrated to psychiatric standards of care.
Competency, criminal responsibility, civil commitment, SVP, and violence risk — with medication considerations and diagnostic formulation specific to psychiatric practice.
Neuropsychology
Analyzed by cognitive domain, not just by test.
Competency, personal injury, fitness for duty — calibrated to neuropsychological test batteries, cognitive domains, and the unique methodology requirements of neuropsychological forensic opinions.
Forensic Social Work
Reviewed against social work standards of practice.
Custody, parental fitness, immigration, juvenile evaluations — with psychosocial assessment methodology and the distinct scope of forensic social work opinions.
Every discipline activates its own analytical configuration — different professional standards, different instruments expected, different cross-examination patterns. Your discipline shapes the analysis.
Each evaluation type activates a different analytical configuration.
De-identification available. For practitioners who want to strip evaluee identifiers before AI processing, ForensicShield offers a de-identification option — with no reduction in analytical depth.
Three questions to ask before you upload a forensic report anywhere.
Do they hold a Business Associate Agreement?
ForensicShield does. Our BAA with AWS covers the entire processing pipeline. Your report is handled as protected health information from upload to output.
Where does the AI processing happen?
ForensicShield processes all reports within AWS’s HIPAA-compliant infrastructure. Your evaluee’s data never reaches a third-party AI provider’s servers. One security boundary. One compliance chain.
What happens to your data after analysis?
Your report content is encrypted at rest (AES-256) and never leaves ForensicShield’s HIPAA-compliant infrastructure. AI processing runs through AWS Bedrock, which does not retain your data. Your reports stay yours — accessible only to your practice, protected by the same encryption and access controls as any HIPAA-covered system.
Who built this — and why it matters.
