Never does the court call a witness that saw what never happened. In the interest of persons charged with
false allegations of child abuse, Kim Hart tenaciously takes up the work of adherence to objectivity,
accountability and irrefutable findings of forensic science to help mitigate that unfortunate inequity.
The primary review of accusatory documents during the initial consultation can help determine the
strategies necessary to pursue a defense against false allegations.
Time is often of the essence. Delaying action can be detrimental to building a strong defense while a court
date approaches.
Call today to see if Ms. Hart can provide personal assistance or refer you to other resources more
appropriate to your needs. If you are already represented by counsel check with your attorney first.
Trial Support for
False Allegations of Child Abuse
Trial consulting and support services for attorneys representing persons suspected of or accused with allegations of child abuse, sexual abuse of children, shaken babies and other charges of a similar nature.
When you or someone you care for is accused, and or charged with allegations of child abuse, in whatever form, the allegations and accusations can be devastating. The innocent are accused literally hundreds of times each week. But proving your innocence regarding these types of child charges is more difficult than most (if not all) other criminal or civil legal proceedings that do not involve accusations of injury to a child. While each case is unique, there is a growing body of knowledge in science, medicine, psychology and law that can help put together an effective defense and allow a person who is falsely accused prove their innocence. Unfortunately, far too many lawyers lack the experience and knowledge to allow them to properly represent the falsely accused in these types of cases.
Kim Hart has over twenty years of high profile experience providing consulting and support services to defense teams during the investigative, pre-trial, trial, and appeals stages of child abuse cases. She has consulted and worked on hundreds of these cases in that period of time. Few, if any, trial consultants have her breadth of knowledge and experience in this very specialized and complicated area. Daily, lawyers from throughout the United States, and elsewhere, consult with her on these types of cases. This allows her to be informed of the latest changes in legal theories that impact the presentation of these cases.
Ms. Hart also has continuing communication with leading professionals and expert witnesses whose services and opinions are sought by those attorneys who specialize in the defense of false accusation child abuse cases. Those professionals are located throughout the world and allow Ms. Hart to stay abreast of the most current developments in medicine, science and psychology as relates to the defense of these types of cases. Kim Hart has developed a database that allows her keep track of this data. Since Ms. Hart’s services are dedicated exclusively to child abuse cases, she is able to fully incorporate this voluminous research and data into a successful defense strategy for the accused’s lawyer to implement.
Defense lawyers often welcome a trial consultant with the time-tested experience and knowledge that Kim Hart has. There are some lawyers who will not undertake the defense of this type of case unless she is retained as a trial consultant on the case. The cases are nearly always that complicated and difficult. If you do not have an attorney, Ms. Hart can probably recommend lawyers in your area with whom she has successfully worked with in the past. If you already have a lawyer, Ms. Hart's experience and knowledge can help put together a well-coordinated team of experts who work together under the direction of your defense attorney towards the best resolution for the falsely accused.
While the level of consulting support she provides varies in each case, some of the specific services that Ms. Hart can provide to your attorney is helpful in formulating questions for pre-trail hearings (or deposition, if allowed in your jurisdiction), as well as direct examination, cross-examination and voir dire, identifying and referring to potential expert witnesses. She can also assist the attorney-of-record with pre-trial motions, trial strategy and appellate briefs. Remember, it is your liberty and freedom that is at risk. You cannot risk using lesser-qualified trial consultants who are not on the cutting edge of contemporary forensics and science. Neither should you risk a defense team without the expertise of debunking "junk" and "voodoo" science that prosecutors will throw at the jury.
In addition to being a trial consultant, Ms. Hart has been the author, collaborator and editor of deposition and motion books used as guides and strategy by defense lawyers and teams. These books, covered by intellectual property rights, were donated to the National Child Abuse Defense & Resource Center and are available only to lawyers.
Ms. Hart is not an attorney and does not
give legal advice. All work product is submitted
directly to the attorney for the accused. For initial consultation information
