Principal & Solo Practitioner

Objective analysis.
Scientific rigor.
Unwavering defensibility.

Impartial, empirically grounded forensic psychological evaluations built to meet the highest standards of clinical precision and legal relevance.

Dr. Mitchell R. Flesher

“Every opinion grounded. Every conclusion supported. Every evaluation built to withstand scrutiny.”

The Solo Practice Advantage

When accuracy, objectivity, and discretion are critical, the structure of the practice matters. A dedicated solo model ensures uncompromised quality control and unparalleled confidentiality.

Direct Access & Discretion

Calls are answered directly by me. You communicate with the evaluating psychologist only, ensuring clarity, immediate responsiveness, and unparalleled discretion in the handling of sensitive case details from the outset.

Streamlined & Confidential Communication

No administrative layers or intermediaries. Information flows directly and securely between counsel and the evaluator, preserving both time and the highest level of confidentiality during critical legal proceedings.

Personal Expertise

Every record review, interview, test interpretation, and report is executed personally by an experienced forensic psychologist.

Methodical Process

Each evaluation follows a structured approach tailored to the referral question. The work is guided by established forensic standards to support accuracy, objectivity, and legal relevance.

Beyond the written report, I remain available for case consultation and provide deposition or courtroom testimony.

Comprehensive Case Review

Meticulous examination of legal documents, clinical histories, and collateral data to ground opinions in the complete case context.

Individualized Assessment

Standardized instruments and specialized forensic methodologies selected for the specific legal and psychological issues presented.

Objective Corroboration

Examinee information is systematically weighed against collateral sources and records, maintaining neutrality and scientific rigor.

Clear, Defensible Reporting

Reports are transparent, organized, responsive to the referral question, and written with the expectation of rigorous cross-examination.

Principal & Owner

I bring a specialized perspective to forensic psychology, holding both a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology and a J.D. in Law.

With a career spanning private practice, the Veterans Health Administration, and roles as Forensic Psychologist and Regional Mental Health Coordinator for the Kansas Department of Corrections, I possess a deep understanding of the intersection between clinical pathology and the legal system.
