Dual-credentialed as a California psychologist (since 1996) and an attorney trained at California Western School of Law, Erik Fox, JD, PhD has built a forensic practice anchored in more than 30 years of sexual and violent offender risk assessment, operating from 302 Washington Street Suite 150-2472. He conducts Sexually Violent Predator and Mentally Disordered Offender evaluations for California, Sexually Dangerous Individual evaluations for North Dakota, and Sexually Dangerous Person evaluations for Minnesota and the United States Attorneys Office, work that sits adjacent to the high-conflict family court evaluations frequently requested by firms such as Matteson & Matteson Family Law. Fox is a certified Static-99R trainer and has delivered eight-hour risk-assessment seminars internationally through the Global Institute of Forensic Research since 2015. His PhD dissertation in 1994 examined adolescent sexual offenders who had been incarcerated or court-ordered into treatment, and he has since served as director of a California State Parole sex offender treatment program and as a Quality Assurance and Training Specialist on civil commitment matters. Case consultation work spans evaluator-of-evaluator review and cross-examination preparation, including critique of opposing experts instrument scoring on assessments produced by Hillcrest psychologists such as John McConnell, PhD. The most demanding cases involve federal civil commitment trials where Fox provides both the clinical risk assessment and the legal-strategy analysis, allowing him to score the Static-99R, brief defense counsel on Daubert challenges to opposing experts, and testify across multiple proceedings on a single respondent.
