Keith Ablow, MD
Psychiatrist · Author · Strategic Advisor
- 25+ Years Psychiatric Practice
- High-Profile Civil & Criminal Matters
- Retained by Counsel, Not Parties
Dr. Keith Ablow is a psychiatrist, New York Times bestselling author, nationally recognized media commentator, and strategic advisor whose work has focused for decades on human behavior, conflict, persuasion, credibility, identity, motivation, and public perception. Through Litigation Strategy Partners, Dr. Ablow provides confidential strategic advisory services to attorneys, legal teams, executives, public figures, and organizations navigating complex disputes and reputation-sensitive matters. His role is not to provide legal advice, but to help legal teams better understand the human dynamics that often influence litigation, negotiation, witness perception, credibility, reputation, and strategic positioning.
In case after case, attorneys have told Dr. Ablow that his input shaped the strategy, in picking juries, in examining and cross-examining witnesses, in uncovering inconsistencies in testimony, and, wherever psychiatric factors are present, in finding the crucial insight in depositions, medical records, family reports, and witness statements that no one else had seen.

25+ Years of Psychiatric Practice in High-Profile Matters
Distinguishing Perspective
Attorneys have valued Dr. Ablow's ability to unearth the unspoken, and often complex, motivations of opposing counsel, accusers, and witnesses whose interests run against their clients. Across twenty-five years of psychiatric practice and many high-profile civil and criminal matters, he identifies the themes and events those parties wish to gloss over, as well as the parts of their arguments that will not make core psychological sense to judges and juries.
