Kerry Nelligan, Psy. D. is the most responsive and thorough psychologist with whom I have worked in my thirty-five-year career. Her forensic expertise is extraordinary. She is deeply knowledgeable of criminal justice law and process which facilitated our excellent collaboration in a recent criminal case that involved the application of both Connecticut and Massachusetts law. Her skills assisted me in adeptly handling that case and attaining a phenomenal result for a young client. The prosecutors respected her clear and objective findings in the comprehensive study she conducted in that case. They were favorably impressed by her candid assessment and persuaded by her expert conclusions and recommendations.
Dr. Nelligan’s impactful contribution benefitted my client tremendously. We would not have achieved such a positive outcome without her highly probative and insightful report. My client found her demeanor and concern reassuring as he began his clinical journey to resolve his presenting life issues. I learned a great deal about the psychological issues pertaining to my specifically and more broadly surrounding paraphilias that frequently relate to criminal law. Dr Nelligan took the time to completely undersand my client’s underlying case and accurately assess his history and a prognosis. She explained complex information well and generously granted me time to discuss my case and concers.
I highly recommend Dr. Nelligan to assist in any manner of criminal case because of her expertise and poise in lending her masterful skills to such critical defenses.
