Report Attachments
AVOID DANIEL KEITH CHESTER LIKE THE PLAGUE - SONOMA COUNTY FAMILY COURT You want to take extreme caution if you're assigned Daniel Chester (aka Daniel Keith Chester) as a Child Custody Recommending Counselor through the Sonoma County (California) Family Court. This man is very dangerous to families. He has no background in psychology and yet he issues assessments of parents for purposes of judges determining their child custody worthiness using a variety of Clinical Psychology determinants.
He will attempt to get you to sign papers that will give him unlimited access to third parties (like, for example, therapists) and will ultimately determine that you need a psychological evaluation while steering you to two specific psychologists to execute the evaluations. This is an open checkbook, which is why many parents have determined that Daniel Chester is receiving kickbacks from the short roster of psychologists he recommends. (He was sanctioned by the Judicial Oversight Committee for providing his 'short list' to parents unaware of his repuation.) Since 2015, more than 135 parents have confirmed that Daniel Chester has applied his armchair psychological assessments and has pointed parents to these two therapists with each case.
This man should not be trusted. 
He has a battery of complaints against him including a portfolio of complaints currently before the CA State Bar. Do yourself a favor: DO NOT ALLOW DANIEL CHESTER TO EVALUATE YOUR SUITABILITY FOR PARENTING YOUR CHILD. You have the right to request alternative evaluators. There are currently three to choose from. You also have the right to not attend a pre-hearing meeting with Family Court Services. THIS IS YOUR RIGHT. EXERCISE IT. This man is a train wreck

Daniel K. Chester has great power in his position. He seems to believe he can diagnose issues and determine who is to blame then what should be done about it. He benefits greatly on some cases. It is a proven fact he has no problem using his power to his deaired end. He seperates families and refuses to ever fix what he is done. In my opinion this man is the worst thing that could happen to your family. If you see him run, run as fast as you can. He is a danger to all you hold dear
