FORENSIC BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CONSULTANT

Jamila Coleman is a psycholegal counselor, paralegal, educator, MSW-candidate who provides non-therapeutic forensic behavioral health consultation to attorneys and legal teams. Her work, expanding over 15 years of experience, sits at the intersection of behavioral health, medical systems, and law to support strategic case development through objective review, analysis, and expert opinion.

Jamila does not provide therapy to litigation clients. Instead, she partners with legal teams in a forensic capacity to clarify psychological, systemic, and trauma-related dimensions of a case. Her role is consultative, evaluative, and evidentiary, designed to strengthen case theory, illuminate damages, and support equitable outcomes.

With lived experience navigating foster care, juvenile justice, education, and behavioral health systems — combined with advanced training in social work, counseling, and legal procedure — Jamila brings both clinical depth and systemic insight to complex litigation.

Jamila supports matters involving:

• Personal injury and psychological damages
• Medical malpractice and healthcare negligence 
• Civil rights and discrimination 
• Disability and ADA claims 
• Guardianship and capacity concerns 
• Involuntary commitment cases 
• Education and employment law intersections 
• Insurance and behavioral health parity disputes
