You missed my point.
Your post made it sound as though this particular person was providing mental health services, i.e., counseling/therapy) to AW. That was my impression based on your post. I may have misunderstood. If so, my apologies.
However, yes, Mr. Crates
is a private investigator:

In my opinion, having typed hundreds of psychological and psycho-social exams in the last 30 years, this person has never even met AW. He is a private investigator. He gathers information on AW, her education, her job history, her family dynamics, etc., and he provides it to a psychiatrist or psychologist. The psychiatrist/psychologist will take the info from there to prepare his/her case and testify on AW's behalf as the expert witness at trial. If you look at the invoice, on 9/30 there is entry for: Chronology prep for counsel
and expert.
To bolster my point that this individual has never even met AW: In going through every entry in his invoice, there isn't one single entry for a conference with the defendant or p/c (phone call) with the defendant.
