Expert Pet Custody Evaluation Services
For Legal Professionals Representing Clients in Pet Custody Cases
When your client's pet custody dispute requires expert analysis for court proceedings, arbitration, or settlement negotiations, I provide professional assessment and testimony focused on what arrangement would genuinely serve the animal's best interests.
"I'm representing a client in a divorce where the pet custody dispute is headed to court or arbitration. Can you provide a credible report about what arrangement would actually benefit the animal?"
Pet custody disputes often rely on emotional arguments rather than professional analysis of the animal's actual needs. You need expert testimony that:
Provides objective assessment based on animal behavior science
Offers clear recommendations grounded in animal welfare principles
Helps judges and arbitrators make informed decisions
