Dr. Claiborn is not a hired gun; he lets the attorneys he works with know that he calls things as he sees them, based on current psychological methods and understanding and on sound judgment. Dr. Claiborn has practiced forensic psychology since 1980, and he approaches each evaluation as he would want it to be conducted if he himself were the subject.
