Sentencing and resentencing often turn on a life the court cannot see without help — how trauma and disrupted development shaped the path to the conduct at issue. A forensic psychological evaluation gives the court a structured, independent account of that history, grounded in the record, in testing, and in the empirical literature.
Dr. Maddux’s work in this area includes mitigation evaluations for sentencing; resentencing matters, including juvenile delinquency, juvenile waiver, and juvenile-to-adult resentencing under Miller and Graham; and applications under the Survivors Justice Act in New York and New Jersey.
Contact Dr. Maddux to discuss a sentencing or resentencing matter.
