FORENSIC & MEDICAL-LEGAL EXPERTISE: Dr. Chu applies advanced forensic reasoning, psycholegal analysis, and a medical psychology framework to complex psychiatric, neurological, and injury-related matters. With particular experience in defense evaluations, she conducts rigorous, independent analyses of diagnostic validity, causation, functional impairment, response style, and the relationship between psychological findings and the alleged injury. She critically integrates clinical findings, psychological test data, medical and legal records, collateral information, and alternative explanations to identify the most consequential psycholegal issues. Her opinions are objective, evidence-based, supported by sufficient facts and data, and derived from reliable principles and methods reliably applied to the facts of the case. Her conclusions directly address the legal questions before the trier of fact.
