a college student, who was high on Ecstasy at the time of his arrest, knowingly and intelligently waive Miranda?
~ Should a mentally retarded person be issued a gun permit? ~ Should
an adult with child pornography on his computer be sent to prison or a treatment program? ~ Should

These and many other questions are commonly addressed at Triangle Forensic Psychologists.
Though most of the preceding questions are either legal or medical in nature, many times the law, medical specialists,
human resource departments, and the insurance industry are in need of insights from experts to make appropriate
decisions.
In
a world where psychology is considered a "soft" science, Triangle Forensic Psychologists strives to provide
factual-based clarity to complex questions. Through use of the latest empirically validated testing instruments, in-depth
diagnostic interviews, behavioral observations, and extensive record reviews, Triangle Forensic Psychologists generates
fair, thorough, professional reports and expert testimony that are held in high regard by the legal
and medical communities.
