Dr. James Connolly, PHD

Without going into the details to make everyone depressed, Dr. Connolly performed psych evals on my ex and me, suggested my boys live with their dad, and as a result of my ex's chronic irresponsibility my son was hit by a car, was in a wheelchair and still has permanent hearing loss!

It is very difficult to provide objective psychological evaluations for the courts. Dr. Connolly is recognized as a leader in his field. It is unfortunate that persons who were disfavored in their child custody cares have left negative retributive reviews on this site.

Did a good job under difficult circumstances.

This doctor lacks both ethics and common sense. His displays of arrogance, however, know no bounds. For a psychologist, this man can certainly use some psychotherapy. The man will spin facts to fit his narrative. I highly recommend that you stay away from this doctor.

Connolly did his job. Got court to see that my ex was alienating the kids. Wasn't thrilled at some of what he said about me, but he was fair, and my kids are safe!

Connolly acted in the capacity of the forensic psychology in a custody evaluation. He displayed an overly arrogant disposition, employed outdated Freudian methods, and spent the majority of time talking about himself. Honestly, I was baffled by his approach. In the end, he fell for the classic "damsal in distress" tactic that my ex employed. Despite her multiple diagnosed mental disorders, Connolly believed that she needed the children because she had nothing else. The system is clearly broken.

Based on my shocking personal experience, this man has no business practicing. Stay away!
