Witness Exami­nation & Hearing Support

Strategic insight at the intersection of law and psychology

With a dual background in law and psychology – and over seven years of teaching investigative methods at a police university – I provide discreet, expert support for legal teams preparing and conducting high-stakes witness examinations.

This includes assistance with:

– Internal investigations
– Courtroom proceedings
– International arbitration hearings

My approach is psychologically sound, methodologically rigorous, and strategically aligned with your case goals.
