She works behind the scenes to assist attorneys in understanding the psychological and cognitive aspects of a case. This approach allows the attorney to gain expert insights into the strengths and weaknesses of the opposing side’s psychological and mental health evidence and make informed decisions.

Dr. Scarf is a California-based psychologist who provides consulting expertise to attorneys across the country. She examines case-related documents, including test protocols, findings and psychological and mental health evidence.
