Taking The Stand On Competency, Custody, and Culpability

As a forensic psychiatrist for adults, adolescents, and children, Dr. Haller lends his vast experience to the legal system in case reviews, examinations, depositions, and courtroom testimony. Through the use of a one-way mirror and video equipment, Dr. Haller has the ability to tape interviews with young children for use in court. This may prevent a child from being traumatized by repeated interviews with multiple examiners in child custody and abuse cases.

Widely published in matters of psychiatry and the law, Dr. Haller is Board-certified in forensic psychiatry, as well as general, child, and adolescent psychiatry. He is qualified to testify as an expert witness for both the plaintiff and the defense.
