...I have a particular interest in matters pertaining to competency in all settings, be they criminal or civil, and the issues of whether one's mental state renders them able to make a specific decision or carry out a specified act. My first testimony ever in a courtroom involved a disputed 16 million will in 1988, and I have had subsequent experience in will contest cases over the years, using general psychiatry, geriatric psychiatry, and forensic psychiatry principles to reconstruct the testator's mental state at the time of the will's execution. This complex and often highly contested area of the law is one of particular interest to me.
