About Strategic Mitigation Group
Our Mission
At Strategic Mitigation Group, our mission is to provide defense attorneys with comprehensive, research-driven mitigation services that reveal the full psychological and clinical picture of each client. Judges and juries respond to credible science and well-documented treatment — that’s why we partner directly with addictionologists, psychiatrists, neuropsychologists, psychologists, and treatment centers to produce evidence that carries weight in court.
We Handle the Mitigation, You Focus on the Defense
At Strategic Mitigation Group, we manage the entire mitigation process so you can stay focused on building the legal defense. From gathering records and coordinating expert evaluations to securing treatment placements and preparing court-ready reports, we deliver comprehensive support that attorneys can trust. By working directly with psychiatrists, neuropsychologists, psychologists, addictionologists, medical doctors, and treatment centers, we ensure every case is backed by credible science and persuasive documentation. The result is a stronger defense, a humanized client, and a greater chance at a fair outcome.
Our Services
Records Review & Case History
We collect and organize medical, psychological, educational, and social history records into a clear timeline. This ensures no important detail is overlooked and gives the court a full picture of the client’s background.
Psychiatric & Psychological Evaluations
We coordinate evaluations with board-certified psychiatrists and licensed psychologists to assess mental health conditions, risk factors, and treatment needs. Their findings provide credible, clinical evidence that judges recognize in sentencing.
Neuropsychological Testing
Our network of neuropsychologists conducts specialized assessments to evaluate memory, cognition, impulse control, and brain functioning. These reports often uncover impairments that can explain behavior and reduce culpability.
Substance Use Assessments & Addiction Medicine
Through addictionologists and treatment specialists, we evaluate substance use disorders and develop treatment recommendations. Demonstrating commitment to recovery can shift outcomes away from incarceration toward rehabilitation.
Treatment Placement & Coordination
We secure placements in reputable treatment centers and programs tailored to the client’s needs. Placement in treatment shows the court that the client is taking proactive steps toward change.
Progress Monitoring & Compliance Tracking
We track and document client participation in treatment, providing attorneys with up-to-date reports on progress and compliance. Verified treatment engagement strengthens credibility at sentencing.
Mitigation Reports
We deliver clinically grounded reports that synthesize all findings into a persuasive narrative. These reports humanize the client, highlight mitigating factors, and present a credible plan for rehabilitation.
Expert Testimony
When needed, we coordinate and prepare expert witnesses — psychiatrists, psychologists, neuropsychologists, and treatment providers — to testify on behalf of the client. Their testimony reinforces the defense with science and credibility.
