Sexual Discrimination / Harassment Expert Witnesses: 21

Dr. Weiss' unique ability to establish exceptional rapport with clients allows for thoughtful, thorough examinations, leaving no stone unturned. As everything affects the psyche, her keen attention to detail with complex medical-legal records enables her to integrate highly complex psychiatric histories and concepts, coming to evidence-based opinions, and providing high-caliber, usable medical-legal reporting and testimony.

Dr. Weiss has decades of diverse experience. Able to view a case through multiple lenses, she must consider what has happened prior to, since, and outside of an accident/incident, as well as uncovering details of the event(s) itself. She must be objective and look at the evidence which has been presented. It is important to consider how a person is functioning, and what is the status of their mental/psychological state. If there is evidence for psychiatric injury/pain and suffering, her ability to articulate a person's perspective, as well as how she, as the psychiatric expert, would understand the issues and their impacts, is unparalleled. 

Ultimately, whether Dr. Weiss' findings strengthen her client's case, or help to uncover weaknesses/deficiencies which need to be addressed, one can be confident that Dr. Weiss will provide a through, detailed psychiatric analysis based on medical evidence. 

Dr. Weiss is a Life Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association, and a Board Certified Psychiatrist, in private practice since 1988. Her expert witness work has involved employment law, concentrating in claims of emotional distress along with pain and suffering. Dr. Weiss provides litigation support in cases related to harassment (sexual/gender-based/racial), PTSD, as well as other personal injury/accident complaints
