Ellen Gay Niermann

Gay was hired as my divorce CFI. Not only did she not do as the judge asked her to determine extremely important and critical information during a nasty custody battle, she lied about her involvement, her due diligence as research and findings as well as charged a completely absurd amount of money f...or a few hours of actual work. Avoid her like the plague, unless you like wasting your time and money.

Do not use her as a CFI. She did me and my ex husbands case and was completely all for him. Everyone, including my attorney and our mediator and even his attorney made comments on how narcissistic and what he good liar he was. She didn't give me a chance at all. She called 1 out of the 5 people I pro...vided and called all 5 of his. She mentioned in the report that my son had his attention more on his sister than mother....well no duh!! My son looks up to his sister and adores her and they are attached at the hip when they're together. She made assumptions without any evidence at all. And she was upset that I would not allow her to see my therapy records. In the end, I won and got what I wanted. Which was 50/50. And everyone else saw right through him. She chooses sides and does not allow a fair judgement.

Short and sweet: This has been the most unethical, sexist, man-hating experience of my life. Clearly her drinking, and biased opinions are more important than these children she's subjecting to abuse in each case she fails to "inspect". Do NOT waste your money. A year into it, and 1 hour total spent ...talking to either side, and no actual investigation after. Hiring her is like letting a sociopathic killer into your home. She'll destroy everything, and not even care.

Gay Niermann was our PCDM for 2 years. During those two years, she made decisions that put the emotional and phyical well-being of a child at risk. She does not make decisions based on a child's best interest and ignores concerns, refusing to investigate prior to making a decision. She never met t...he child for whom she was making decisions. She does not seem to have a firm grasp on family law. I would never recommend her in any family law setting whether CFI work or PCDM. She is lazy, always on vacation and never fully engaged in her work in order to protect children. In one instance, she made a decision in which she was supposed to follow up with the Courts within 20 day and did not. I would strongly encourage you to find another CFI/PCDM.
