Social Services Expert Witnesses

Social services are typically thought of as activities designed to promote social well-being. They may include government benefits like education, food subsidies, healthcare, and subsidized housing. The goal of social services is to better the quality of life of children, the disabled, the elderly, and the poor.

Our experts have many years of experience in social work and child welfare. This expertise includes child protective services issues, case assessments, state and federal regulations, Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA), and child abuse and neglect. Some of these experts also work in mental health, community mental health, behavioral health, managed care, mental retardation, inpatient mental health and developmental disabilities.

Their consulting services include certification of foster parents, training of social worker staff, crisis management, analysis of social services legislation, and investigation of referrals of abuse and neglect.
