Expert Witness Services
Dr. Judy has served as an expert witness on over 330 legal cases in the past decade. As an expert witness, Dr. Judy conducts comprehensive neuropsychological and psychodiagnostic forensic evaluations (sometimes referred to as an IME or DME) and provides expert testimony regarding her psychological testing methods, results, and conclusions for both civil and criminal proceedings. She is also sometimes called on to serve as a rebuttal witness to opine on the work of other experts. Dr. Judy often works on 1) personal injury cases (including psychological/emotional injury and traumatic brain injury claims), 2) fitness for duty evaluations, 3) employment/discrimination/wrongful termination cases, 4) sexual assault, harrassment, and other trauma cases, 5) professional licensing disputes, and 6) assessment of competency to testify, risk assessment, and psychological state/functioning at time of criminal offense.
Most commonly, Dr. Judy is called upon to conduct a comprehensive evaluation which includes a review of all pertinent legal, medical and clinical documentation along with a detailed clinical interview (and collateral interview where appropriate) and the administration of psychological, neuropsychological, and/or specialized forensic assessments. At the conclusion of the evaluation, verbal feedback will be provided to the client and a written report will be prepared (if requested) that sets forth Dr. Judy’s opinions. In certain cases, Dr. Judy is also called upon to review the work of other psychology and medical experts in order to render an opinion about the validity of their methods, interpretation, and conclusions. In Dr. Judy’s expert witness work, she is careful to examine the current literature, utilizing the most up-to-date, scientifically validated instruments to evaluate and opine on matters germane to the case. She works closely with the clients retaining her services to ensure that the assessment conducted will address the specific needs for the case.
Dr. Judy Ho is a member of the National Academy of Neuropsychology, the International Neuropsychological Society, Division 40 (Society of Clinical Neuropsychology), Division 41 (American Psychology-Law Society), and the American Psychological Association. She is on the Board of Directors for the American Board of Pediatric Neuropsychology and an Examination Chair for the American Board of Professional Psychology.

Are you prone to codependency or rescuing behaviors?
Do you struggle with identifying and developing your personal values and knowing your interests?
Do you derive most of your value from the roles you occupy in life?
Do you pursue goals to garner respect and admiration from others based on your achievements, rather than out of genuine interest?
If you identify with any of the above, your anxious attachment style may be rearing its head in your goal pursuits. Anxiously attached individuals tend to have a self-concept that is unstable, unclear, or rooted excessively in the roles they have, and as a result, they may judge themselves primarily on whether they are seemingly making others happy and content.
Like chameleons, Worried Warriors are more likely to adopt the goals of people they are in a relationship with or those of people they look up to without careful contemplation of whether these goal pursuits are meaningful to themselves!
My friend Janice used to adopt the hobbies and interests of her boyfriends, and once they broke up, she’d drop those hobbies and interests, too, and move on to those that reflected the interests of the people she was spending the most time with. Once she was in therapy, she began reflecting on who Janice was and what made her excited and happy, and she realized she hadn’t asked herself those questions in a long time.
Do you relate to Janice or any of the above? If so, when was the last time you deeply reflected on YOUR personal values and interests?
