Dr. Colin A. Brietzke
I specialize in evaluating competence in civil matters such as guardianship proceedings and competence to stand trial. I also conduct IMEs and evaluate mental state at the time of the offense. I am available to evaluate, testify, or provide expert services to assist attorneys strategize around other clinicians’ reports. I have experience with disorders that are commonly the focus of litigation, including dementia, brain injury, PTSD, psychotic spectrum disorders like schizophrenia, and intellectual disability or autism. I also perform extensive testing for malingering and functional neurological disorders. Besides my forensic work, I run a private practice focused on clinical evaluations, where I train postdoctoral residents. I have taught graduate students and lecture to both attorneys and clinicians. I regularly write for the Illinois Institute for Continuing Legal Education and academic journals. My reports are based on objective, reliable information, with minimal jargon, and directly addressing the specific issues.
