Don't get robbed by this charlatan!!!!

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

This guy is still on the block fleecing parents with fabricated custody reports after being sued many times. Be aware he is dishonest, greedy and charges ungodly amount of money for changing the names on his cookie cutter reports.

He recyclers the same report.

All the mothers are diagnosed as borderline personality disorder patients. Don't be fooled by this charlatan.

Need to warn the fabric

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

This pseudo doctor was brought into my divorce case by Sarah Pleban, a corrupt guardian ad litem. Reid is brought in to delay litigation so parents are robbed of their money.

Reid diagnosed me with borderline personality disorder.

I have been at the same job for 15 years, which is impossible if one has borderline. Pleban and Reid run a scam run away from them!

He's finally being investigated!!

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Psychological evaluation done by this man during my divorce. My x husband's attorney's recommendation.

She gave this man a folder before my evaluation, and he used that information against me. I detailed the abuse I was suffering at the hands of my x husband as well as the sexual abuse my daughter was suffering. Even presented an audio tape of his admission. My x husband even bragged about what he did in his evaluation.

I have his copy.

I knew the minute I sat down this man had already made his "evaluation" in his mind. I was "diagnosed" by Reid with being bi-polar and a significant risk if my child was to remain in my custody. He is NOT even a medical doctor. I was told in court after his report came out if I did not follow the advice of my attorney and the Judge I would never see my child again unless it was supervised.

I was a stay at home mom from her birth through my divorce with no evidence of any harm ever happening to her by me, but I had evidence and so did he that my x abused her. This man should be sued for all the money he has taken from innocent women and be prosecuted.

I am very glad to read that he is finally being investigated and is mentioned in a lawsuit!

Absolutely accurate description of this con-man. Clearly PAID OFF 100%

Guest

That happened to me as well. You are spot on.

This shrink is a charlatan who exploits parents for cash. His report in my case was a joke.

The test results came that I had no mental disorders, yet, he diagnosed me as a borderline personality disorder and recommended that I do not have custody of my two children. He should lose his license for fabricating medical diagnoses.

Guest

I agree, he is not a doctor. He does not act as a doctor.

He is deep state corrupt charlatan who traffics children for money. He should lose his license.

Used his services and want to warn others

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

James Reid was appointed to do a psychological evaluation of our entire family. He was brought into the case by Elaine Pudlowski who has now been linked for exploiting families financially.

Pudlowski and Reid work together on creating a scheme by diagnosing a healthier parent with a fake disorder. I was diagnosed as borderline. My test results came that I do not have any mental disorders and that I was in perfect mental health. Reid with Pudlowski came up with the fake diagnose.

Reid recommended that I do not have custody of my children. His report was flawed.

Horrific trap for the unwary

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

The family court system is a minefield for an abused woman. It is a process that perpetrates domestic violence.

Children are commodities and source of income for unethical, greedy, and callous Guardians ad Litem, psychological evaluators and court appointed therapists. Stand with us to reform this broken family court system that endangers our children.

Visit this link, follow and like this page and stay in solidarity with victims of domestic violence. Our children need your support!

I am still having nightmares from this horrific encounter

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I lost my daughters to my ex husband who is an alcoholic and *** user. James Reid came across as someone who was trustworthy and knew what he was doing.

When I saw the report he wrote, it had no mention of my husband's addictions.

The report painted me a deranged borderline individual, who needed lots of treatment. It is clear that the court system has failed me and my children.

Forensic child custody evaluator with no credentials, experience and education in child development and forensic psychology. He is a trap for the unwary.

Our family learned that once we paid him a fortune.

It was an extremely unpleasant and expensive experience. That was something that both my and ex agreed.

I wish I found these reviews before this charlatan doctor was appointed by the court in our case. It was extremely unpleasant and devastating experience, which I won't forget.

As a healthcare professional who reviewed the work of James Reid, I can confirm that this so-called psychologist is unethical, unexperienced and unprofessional in his work when it comes to working with family court litigants. His professional conclusions are so off base and not even in the ball park, that it is obvious that they are motivated by greed and/or political reasons to accommodate the people who hire him and who pay him.

I have read and reviewed at least 20 of his reports and they are cookie cutter.

Sometimes he forgets to change the names and birth dates of the parents and their children, so incorrect information is being transferred from one report to another. This psychologist should not be hired.

James Reid PhD hurts families

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I wish I read the reviews about James Reid before he was hired in our case on recommendation of our GAL. My experience was very poor.

James Reid was demeaning, unprofessional and rude. He was very insulting with me and our child. He called me names such as liar, cheater, and fraud every time we met and made fun of me. The entire process was extremely unpleasant.

My lawyer told me to ignore him. I was explained that it was his style to demean and humiliate people. Every 2 weeks he asked for more and more money. He asked for various things that had nothing to do with our case and our family.

He charged us for review of every piece of paper and at the end, we paid him over 50K. It later became apparent to us that he just delays generating more billable time for himself. Finally, after months of dealing with him, we got his report, which was strange. I think he uses cut-and-paste function to write his reports from his other cases and does not do a good job in double checking his work.

There were passages in the report that did not belong to us. The facts were misstated throughout and his conclusions had no substance.

It was a complete waste of time and money and extremely unpleasant experience. The final product was *** There is no other word to describe it.

These reviews are right on point. This man should not be engaged in child custody evaluations.

He has no education, skill and experience to do it.

To be in this profession one has to love children. This man is a hater of mankind.

Agree 100 percent. This dr is corrupt.

Bad experience with James Reid Psychologist

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

We had to stop using James Reid for our family case. He was rude, manipulative, and used projection through the first several interviews.

No, he did not care about the children and their future. My ex and I got the impression that all James Reid Phd wanted to do is generate a bill for himself.

And let me tell you, he is VERY EXPENSIVE. I wouldn't pay a dime for what he offered us!!!!

Do not hire James D Reid for your custody case

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

James D Reid was appointed to evaluate custody situation in my case. The case was complex and involved physical, emotional and sexual abuse.

James D Reid ignored the evidence, trafficked in children, charged us an ungodly amount of money and showed cold and callous disregard towards our children, the children he gave the oath to protect. Instead he sold them to the highest bidder, to my ex. This shrink is corrupted, unfair, biased and most importantly money hungry. Run from him as far and as fast as you can.

Don't let the court appoint him in your case. James D Reid tampers with evidence and destroys evidence. He told me several times that he is married to an appellate judge in St. Louis and the judge's brother is a lawyer.

He intimidates, calls people names and accuses parents during his evaluation sessions. He represents the worst interests of the children!

He uses his position to traffic in children and takes advantage of vulnerable parents and their situation. He exploits the court system for his own gain.

Reid cannot even understand a court order. He is a completely incompetent "psycho" and puts on a theatrical display while on the stand. He is a crook and terrible individual who will screw you, make up lies, and not submit or use evidence in his report.

Mothers do not hire James D. Reid, Phd

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

James D. Reid proclaims that he is a forensic expert in child custody issues, while he does not possess the credentials.

If your ex hired James D. Reid to conduct a child custody evaluation, be very concerned! James D. Reid hates mothers.

James D. Reid is not fair and he is always biased towards mothers. James D. Reid will find you so mentally disturbed that you will lose custody of your children.

James D. Reid has a proven record of siding with fathers. Also, if you cannot get out of the arrangement with James D. Reid, record everything you and he says as everything you say will be used against you in court.

It would be even better to video record everything.

Mothers do not let James D. Reid ruin your family, your children's lives and their health!!!!

I agree with this comment 100%. I pray every day that James Reid is removed from the court system as he does no good to families in distress.

He is unprofessional, unfair and biased. He also charges an ungodly amount of money for the *** services that he renders. If you are stuck with him videotape everything as destruction and fabrication of documents are included in the menu of his services. Document every step, watch every word, and don't expect anything positive from your experience with James Reid.

He is not liked by his students from Washington University. James Reid is married to a judge in St. Louis.

He is fully protected. He doesn't care about the best interests of the children involved in litigation.
