Gaughan D J PhD

Can totally stand behind those saying he's good at duck & cover technique. Had come up to ask for a transcription of our taped parenting conference as it couldnt possibly match what is on the summation report. Our mtg occurred in 2/15', the 2 of us seperated in 2006 and under family court decree by 2007. Yet his summation answers questions and makes statements as if separation has been less than 12 mos, making actions look like not built up in over 7 years but built in 7 mos. Realize it probably doesnt mean a damn to him and his staff, but to a judge it reads as mass trouble and chaos. If your ex has R. Kossack as an attorney, plan on having to sit in front of this guy. The two have buddy history.

Dr. Gaughan is TERRIBLE! We used Dr. Gaughan's services for our custody dispute. He was completely unprofessional, as was his inexperienced staff. He is too cheap to send test results out for 3rd party testing so his analysis is usally incomplete and biased. After speaking with other psychologists specializing in family custody battles, it's well known that Dr. Gaughan is simply after a quick buck and does not care about the individuals he sees. We've been urged by many to file a complaint against him.

I hired Dr. Gaughan during my custody trial to help me understand the results of my ex's court ordered evaluation and how they pertained to my daughter's well being/best interests. He reviewed the report with me and was very informative. He helped me understand how my daughter could be affected and suggested safeguards to help protect her. He also gave me insight about the situation and brought me to a higher level of understanding. After reviewing everything with me he allowed me to get my attorney on the phone, gave her all the information she needed and answered all of her questions as well. The court ended up putting his suggestions in the court order. Although I hope I never need his services again, I would hire him again in a heartbeat. He did exactly what I hired him to do and more.

We used Dr. Gaughan's services and found him to be a very professional and a honorable person. We had a complex situation and he made it very easy for us. Thank you Dr. Gaughan.
