PRACTICE AREAS
Our firm specializes in how brain-behavior relationships have relevance in the legal system and typically requires board certification in clinical neuropsychology. For example, many brain disorders such as traumatic brain injury, dementia, stroke, intellectual disability, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder play an important role in impacting neurocognitive functioning and emotional behavior which, in turn, can have impact upon decision making, memory, insight and judgement – factors often relevant in the legal arena.
What our clients Say
"Dr. Sid Binks has always been my first go-to neuropsychologist when I thought a client of mine would benefit from a thorough evaluation. I could trust Dr. Binks to be incredibly warm, professional, and discerning as to what would reveal the most pertinent information without overwhelming the client. Even my survivor clients suffering from disabling PTSD and dissociative disorders—those most activated at the idea of working with a man—found that Dr. Binks provided a haven of safety and trauma-sensitivity that was healing in its own right. I highly recommend Dr. Sidney Binks and hold him in high esteem."
