Dr. Dan Hynan has conducted hundreds of forensic psychological family evaluations. The focus on custody, visitation, "move away," and other family evaluations has allowed him to develop extensive, specific expertise to a greater degree than offered by others who spread themselves more thinly by also conducting examinations in areas such as personal injury and criminal matters.

Since that program was established, his role has included making educational presentations on family and custody matters to mental health and legal professionals, as well as reviewing the work of other evaluators. Previously, Dr. Hynan served on the DuPage County Conciliation Program Advisory Board.

In addition, Dr. Hynan has been dedicated to improving the integrity and effectiveness of forensic psychological evaluations.
