Grounded in the Law

The Forensic Psychology Group is led by Dr. Stephen Reich, an experienced forensic psychologist who is also an attorney. Dr. Reich's dual backgrounds in psychology and the law (both a Ph.D. and a J.D.) are valuable assets to the courts in both civil and criminal cases. Before becoming a licensed clinical psychologist, Dr. Reich earned his law degree from Columbia University and was a prosecutor, an Assistant Attorney General of the State of New York. During this period, he was also serving as a Lieutenant in the United States Naval Reserve, Judge Advocate General Corps. During periods of active duty, he acted as defense counsel to enlisted personnel during their courts martial. Thus he gained experience as both a prosecutor and a defense attorney. Over the years, Dr. Reich has built a dynamic team of experienced forensic professionals with extensive knowledge in a wide range of legal issues.
