Flat fees protect both the client and the evaluator. Clients know the total cost up front with no surprise hourly bills for revisions, RFE responses, or attorney consultations. The fee covers the records review, the 90-120 minute clinical interview, the standardized testing, the written report, reasonable revisions within the scope of the evaluation, and RFE addendums on findings the report addressed; new clinical work is a separate $500 addendum.

Hardship waivers and cancellation of removal evaluations usually involve analysis of both separation and relocation, evaluation of the qualifying relative rather than the applicant, deeper record review (medical history, financial documentation, country conditions); the report documents the qualifying relative's health, family and daily life (how that fits the legal hardship factors is your attorney's argument). The clinical work is more extensive, which is why the flat fee is $2,500 instead of $2,000.

Standard turnaround is usually 5-7 business days from the evaluation interview to a delivered report; delivery times are estimates that depend on the records, testing and any translation. Priority rush (+50%) means a 3-business-day turnaround. Emergency rush (+100%) means a 24-hour turnaround for cases with imminent court dates or filing deadlines. Rush pricing reflects the real cost of clearing calendar space on short notice. For example, an asylum evaluation under emergency rush is $4,000 ($2,000 base + $2,000 rush). Rush availability depends on calendar capacity at the time of intake.

No. We do not bill insurance: a forensic evaluation is prepared for a legal case, not as treatment. Payment is by card or a mobile wallet on the secure booking page.

Attorneys handling several cases can write to us about pricing. We do not pay or accept referral fees.

No, not for issues the original report already addressed. Reasonable revisions within the scope of the evaluation (correcting facts and clarifying findings) and written addendums when more information is requested on issues the report addressed are included in the flat fee; the findings stay her independent clinical opinion. Significant new clinical work, for example, a fresh evaluation interview six months later because new symptoms emerged, would be billed as a separate addendum ($500), discussed before any work begins.
