About Us:

Dr. Jozlyn Hall brings over 13 years of experience working with criminal defendants, providing comprehensive assessments and individualized treatment and re-entry plans. With a doctorate in Psychology and Religious Studies, as well as a Master of Social Work, Dr. Hall has served the community and the Courts by developing strong rapport with clients to assist with sentence modifications, commutations, re-entry planning, and treatment recommendations. Her background in social work and pastoral counseling enables her to build trusting relationships with clients, while her advanced education allows her to conduct assessments typically performed by licensed psychologists, making the process both time- and cost-efficient.

As a Mitigation Specialist, Dr. Hall advocates for the most favorable outcomes during both pretrial and post-conviction phases. Her work provides expert insight into criminal culpability, helping courts understand a defendant’s mental health and developmental disorders. Through exploring a client’s history, she creates comprehensive yet concise bio-psycho-social reports, as well as tailored treatment or re-entry plans aimed at reducing recidivism.

Dr. Hall’s assessments and reports can be utilized at various stages of the legal process, including pre-trial negotiations, sentencing, juvenile parole hearings, compassionate release, commutation hearings, and sentence modifications. Engaging her services pre-trial can offer valuable perspectives that may help counsel identify the need for additional experts.

Each treatment plan is carefully designed to meet the specific needs of the client, using a range of psychological and substance abuse assessments to determine risk levels, appropriate therapy styles, and the potential need for psychotropic medication evaluations. These individualized plans provide clients with tools for success and offer courts alternatives to incarceration, such as diversionary programs or tailored probation or parole conditions.
