Dr Aisha Ali

Psychological Expert witness

I specialise in providing a wide range of Psychological/Mental Health Assessments and Medico legal reports of children, adults and adolescents for both private and legal aid (LAA) funded work across the U.K. I am willing to undertake work that requires travel within the U.K.

I undertake work at the standard legal aid rates for Legal Aid work and assessments of children, adolescents, adults, parent and multiple family member assessments. I have written medico legal reports involving Personal injury, Family Law & Care Proceedings, Criminal Law, Clinical Negligence, Immigration, Employment Law, Cognitive, PTSD, Mood disturbance, Risk assessment, and Learning difficulties.

I undertake private instructions for assessments and medicolegal reports. My private hourly rate differs from Legal Aid and is based upon the type of work required.

If you would like to discuss a case or wish to instruct me, please contact me by email or phone with a brief description of the case and what you need.
