Judicially Informed Assessment Services

While serving on the bench, Judge Lisa M. Neilson (ret.) identified systemic gaps in how courts addressed mental health, substance use, and other risk factors.

As a former judge with clinical credentials, Judge Neilson brings unmatched perspective to family, probate, and criminal justice assessments with her uniquely holistic, informed approach.
