Testimonials

Sohom is prompt in response, flexible in seeing clients at their convenience, and is conscientious in penning articulate comprehensive reports that comfortably withstands any attempted scrutiny. The speed in which he can procure a report is one of several factors as to why Sohom stands out amongst the rest. Upon instruction, Sohom generally will seek to assess the clients within three weeks, and have finalised reports back to you in two. There have been occasions when Sohom has expedited the report, on request, to then have that very report with me only days after the assessment. Most importantly, my clients have, on their own volition, reported back that Sohom dealt with them in a ‘calm’, ‘patient’, and ‘sensitive’ manner, and feel like they ‘were listened to’.
Ieuan Haywood, Lawyer, Collingbourne Hennah Law

I have been working in Medico-legal practice for 15 years in over 200 cases. In my opinion, Dr Das’ reports are of an extremely high quality. Something I commented upon when first seeing one of his reports. Since then, I have noted that his assessments and reports are thorough, reasonable, robust, logical, focussed and well stated. His thinking is transparent and evidence based. Clients who have been assessed by him who I have seen in therapy speak highly of his interview style and professionalism. I have no hesitation in recommending him as an expert.
