AREAS OF EXPERTISE

"Forensic psychiatry is a rare specialty, yet it plays a large role in our society," remarks Dr. Dudley. "My training really helps the legal and business community with a very difficult task, that of providing objective independent medical evaluations. These evaluations assist courts in making sound decisions about the cases they are presiding over."

It is no accident that Dr. Dudley is a respected authority in his field. "I'm glad to be able to offer my clients many unique attributes including years of courtroom testimony. I have served as a speaker to the city of Detroit Law Department, National Organization of Bar Council, and am published in the Michigan Trial Lawyers Association Newsletter," he says.

One of his clients has been the Michigan Attorney General's office, working on sexual harassment allegations in the state prison system. "Working with the Attorney General's office has been both professionally challenging and rewarding." It is because of clients and work like this that his services have been sought by lawyers and corporations outside of Michigan.

If a written report is warranted and ordered by the client, the report is present in an objective manner, representing a clear and thorough assessment based on the facts of the case. In cases where depositions are required, they can be performed at Dr. Dudley's office or in court. It is this thorough, meticulous process that has become a trademark of his practice. "My single greatest strength is my insistence on - and dedication to - high standards and quality service. I pride myself on this philosophy," he remarks. It is his reputation for this philosophy that earns him most of his clients.
