York City. FCMHS conducts comprehensive and targeted forensic evaluations in all litigation categories
(i.e., Juvenile Delinquency, Child Protection, Custody/Visitation, etc.), and all evaluations are performed

experts, in accordance with New York State statutory requirements and professional guidelines. In
addition to forensic evaluations, FCMHS also provides general consultation and training-assistance to
