Q: How much do forensic evaluations and services cost?
A: Psychological evaluations that are court ordered or that are needed when people are dealing with court-related matters
cost more than the clinical evaluations due to the forensic nature. There is often more records to review and more

and case factors. Court appearances are an additional charge.
