Dr. Lucas A. Klein is a California Qualified Medical Examiner and licensed clinical and forensic psychologist with more than 15 years of experience conducting psychological and forensic evaluations. He earned his Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology, graduating magna cum laude from an APA-accredited program, and completed five years of advanced post-licensure training as an adult psychoanalyst.
As a QME, Dr. Klein conducts comprehensive evaluations involving psychological injuries, PTSD, emotional distress, cognitive impairment, personality functioning, substance abuse, and allegations of psychological damages. He utilizes detailed record review, clinical interviews, standardized psychological testing, and scientifically supported assessment methods to evaluate diagnosis, causation, impairment, apportionment, treatment needs, and the validity of reported symptoms. Dr. Klein has evaluated several hundred individuals, worked with both applicant and defense counsel, and testified in California Superior and Federal Courts. He approaches every QME as an independent medical-legal evaluator and provides objective, clearly reasoned reports designed to assist all parties in resolving disputed psychological claims.
Please note: Dr. Klein's affiliation with Innova Exams is limited exclusively to his QME (Qualified Medical Examiner) work. For all other forensic and clinical services — including civil litigation, criminal matters, independent psychological evaluations, and consultation — attorneys and other parties must contact Dr. Klein directly through his professional website, drkleinpsychology.com. Please do not contact Innova regarding these matters, as Innova handles QME scheduling only and cannot facilitate Dr. Klein's private forensic or clinical work.
