Dr. Bram Fridhandler Child Custody Evaluation San Francisco California
Mr. Fridhandler runs a predatory and deceptive practice built on excessive hours/billings and referrals to friends for additional fees/costs!
He displayed a tremendous amount of bias and knew before he even started exactly how much the effort would cost. He allows scope creep and oversteps his bounds and when questioned will attempt to intimidate clients. EX: He spent a total of four (4) hours reading the instructions (which were extremely elementary) simply so he could charge. He was inflexible when calling references and would include only what he chose to support his desired outcome. He is biased, subjective and very quirky. Many of my references referred to Mr. Fridhandler as being on a "witch hunt" and tried to lead them via his line of questioning.
He still employs tools that he himself said are outdated (i.e. extremely old and proven ineffective/inaccurate and inadmissible),yet he charged for the hours to do so. His recommendations were absurdly wild, over-reaching and a disservice to the profession and his colleagues. I would emphatically not recommend this provider and I am inclined to report his practice to the governing body.
Apparently his almost $20,000 fee was what he planned on booking as the final bill ironically was just a few dollars over - how coincidental. Please do your research and find someone who is genuinely in this business to be fair, just and equitable. He is NOT RECOMMENDED on any level for any service. If I could give zero stars I would. I am not bitter as what is done is done; however, Mr. Fridhandler should be avoided for the sake of your family. Buyer beware.
