Competency and Sanity, Criminal Responsibility, and Parenting Time Evaluations for Indiana Courts
Thirty years of forensic and clinical experience, serving courts and attorneys across Indiana with rigorous, court-ready evaluations and case consultation.
Dr. David Lombard is a licensed psychologist specializing in competency to stand trial and sanity evaluations for adult and juvenile courts, and in expert consultation on cases involving criminal responsibility, violence, and homicide. With three decades of experience, he provides courts, prosecutors, and defense attorneys throughout Indiana with evaluations built on careful method and transparent, defensible reasoning.
Every case Dr. Lombard is retained on involves something serious: a defendant's fitness to face trial, a question of mental state at the time of an alleged offense, or a court's need to understand risk. That seriousness is met with equal rigor: findings are grounded in the data gathered, not in assumption, and every report is written to withstand scrutiny in the courtroom.
