Retirement Notice:
Dr. Ellen Stein will transition to a semi-retirement practice with the closing of her San Diego office in Banker’s Hill on December 31, 2026.
As part of this next chapter, she will continue to offer limited forensic and professional consulting services, which may include case consultation, case development, assessment and remote testimony, as needed. A more complete list of seryices will be announced later this year.
Clients (civil/criminal/military attorneys, forensic psychologists, clinical psychologists) will now shift to online, onsite or other forms of remote consultation, to address their cases or practice issues. Any meetings will require use of court reporting offices or similar third party venues.
