As a result of Tong’s recent educational achievement, combined with his multiple publications and vast years of experience in trial consulting in contested child custody and abuse cases, Dean Tong now offers expert courtroom testimony for attorneys and parents pro se in the following areas of social science and psychology:

• Cognitive Child Development – Mr. Tong can review and critique CAC/CPT/CPS forensic interviews of children allegedly abused on tape or transcript. He examines tapes/transcripts to ensure “structured interviews” were conducted, free from contamination or taint by introducing things such as guided imagery, stereotype induction, scripting, suggestive and leading questions, closed-ended versus open-ended questions, positive reinforcement, anatomically “correct” dolls, anatomically “correct” drawings, or anatomically “correct” puppets. Mr. Tong can analyze the science applied to your case in court to glean if alternative hypotheses are viable and source misattribution errors were made. And he can testify to the correct science as it applies to the correct law in your case at Frye/Daubert Hearings, which includes referencing the most current Learned Treatise-type articles and books.

• CPS/Police Policies & Training Manuals – Mr. Tong can review and critique CPS/Police reports and adherence to their own published policies and procedures, or not so, and testify to same in court.

• Parental Alienation/SAID – Mr. Tong can review and critique court documents, and testify to findings in your case that are consistent with Parental Alienation (PA) and/or Sexual Allegations In Divorce (SAID).

• Sexual Deviancy – Mr. Tong can review and critique court documents, and recommend specialty psychosexual testing to rule in or out sexual deviancy.

"Navigating yourself through treacherous waters at night is dangerous and should be left to professionals only.
