Fathers4Justice Avis 

-1,000,000 Stars. Their campaign, slogans and marketing are the biggest pile of tripe I've ever seen. Before a person has even acknowledged you, the first thing they want to know is your bank details. These guys are useless, utterly useless, DO NOT contact them, what my case involves should be easy for a group of people claiming to be campaigning for dad's to deal with and yet they were powerless, they're campaigning for their bank accounts only simple as that. I've had zero help, literally no help and have paid for it. Use a decent respectable firm, maybe one suggested by a friend, not these charlatans.

The service was terminated before full investigations and full support could be enacted. They are not replying to me and there is no refund for the money spent but not used. I paid nearly £4k for a full service including representations to court, cafcass etc, but only got as far as some advice. I have no receipt for the money spent and no details of how it was spent. They are not replying to my E mails and they mave not given me their address. I feel scammed.

Publicly blaming people for suicides. You are making a mockery of your charity. This is horrifying! You need to be shut down.

Not impressed at all. I wanted to volunteer with them to get and make a difference for dads but they are only interested in taking money for legal advice. I was under the impression they were a pressure group. The advice I got in their Facebook group was unhelpful and everyone just piled on to have a go at me.

This service has been absolutely great for us with the difficulty of our situation. They've explained things clearly and concisely and listened to our concerns and helped us to understand better about how to handle things and helped us to get a new perspective in a very emotional time. We don't yet know what the outcome will be and there will likely be challenges ahead but we now feel better equipped to handle what comes next.

After seeing these i was skeptical but once again DONT BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU READ !!!
These Guys ARE THE BEST, if you’re not a stupid dude and follow the advice and listen you will get wonders like me, Matt was very helpful when he was free and nadine made my case feel so valued and was always there at the end of the phone, i’ve now go 50/50 shared care and the relationship with my child’s mother has never been better. couldn’t recommend these guys enough ( DONT BELIEVE THESE COMMENTS )

The boys are next level,we made the dream xx
Big thanks to all Dads out there,keep trying until you cannot ❤️
Feb 1999 xx

Was sold a dream. Never received anywhere near the help I was told I would get. Paid over 4 grand and went to court alone first hearing, second hearing I will still be going alone. F4J says my case is closed with them though I still have an upcoming court date and my case isn't yet closed.

Contacted the founder to voice my concerns over my upcoming court date with no help.. he said he wouldn't speak to me if I was aggressive. I belive this was just a way to wriggle out of having to face my concerns as there was no sign of aggression.

I'd advise anyone thinking of taking these services to go to a solicitors if they can. This is my honest and truthful recommendation. I was heavily deceived and wouldn't wish for the same to happen to another father.

On my first hearing I went to court alone,

Just a scam to milk fathers.

Terrible experience.
These take your money and leave you to do the work with very little support.
Search elsewhere- Dads Consultancy I recommend. (They care and actually work for you)

The 2 stars are for the superb support of my case worker Nadine who was in valuable. If it wasn't for her and I was scoring on the business model and customer service (or lack of) provided by Liz I would give zero stars. The whole purpose is to support fathers with gaining access to their children, who will be facing emotional difficulties in the process so being understanding is critical. I paid for the £3,000 fixed rate package that got me up to the first court date, still represented in person. I then wanted help with the next stage ahead of the pre trial and final meetings and was told to pay another £3k - take it or leave it. I challenged back and Liz said their support is now withdrawn. How incredibly poor is that, and has alienated an advocate. I think Matt is missing a trick if he genuinely wants to make difference with his mission and I'd be happy to support. Done right it would add real value, currently its very poor.

Awful service do not use

Waiting on a response still havnt heard back! It’s a complete scam he just gets you to pay and doesn’t actually help out. I decided not to go ahead with my call and wasn’t able to cancel because he doesn’t reply and then makes out he has already done work on the case. He read a email do said it would cost £200 which is crazy. All he has done is made my life 💯 more stressful avoid

Please avoid F4J they could cost you access to your children. My experience with Fathers for Justice is very similar to almost all the other reviews you will read on trustpilot, I assumed fathers for Justice were expert and moral enthusiasts of father’s rights to see their children after listening to podcasts where they were interviewed ect, however my experience after paying the fee for advice was very poor. I was told my case was closed after only 24 hours because I could not attend the first appointment I was offered again this with only 24 hours notice , I’m a single parent, of course, fortunately I do get shared custody of my boys and so have child care commitments and work full time. I was expected to drop everything within a very very short notice to attend a call, I could not make the call and so I was told my case was closed and my fee was forfeit. Honestly it felt like a scam. The lack of empathy and understanding towards fathers at what is likely The worst time of their life is staggering considering the nature of their business. I was left with the feeling that this is only about generating money for them. Please do avoid, this company could cost you access to your children

Scam you have been warned.

avoid, they claim to be experts but actually its a cowboy of company, they arnt a charity, there a company who keep money that doesnt belong to them.

If I could leave zero stars I would. I paid good money for shoddy advice. This is money I should have spent on a solicitor and should have been advised as such by this sham outfit.
Alarm bells should've rung out at the beginning when I was being told about what good mates O'Connor was with George Galloway as a result of connecting with Fathers 4 Justice. This was held up as evidence of how good they were rather than actual testimony from desperate fathers.
It's because I was so desperate that I gave him my money before checking out reviews for his 'service'. I would advise any father out there that is being kept illegitimately apart from their children to seek proper legal advice from a good solicitor and contact Families need Fathers who are the service that this shyster pretends to be.
I have three words for all of you desperate fathers out there regarding Fathers 4 Justice: avoid, avoid, AVOID.
I promise you, there is hope for you if you get a solicitor.

Further to visiting their site and them recommending cordell cordell as lawyers to help fathers trying to see their children I did just that & it was the worst mistake I did, totally unprofessional and is basically an American company earning money out of us lost fathers with no results!
Just look at the website for fathers for justice, it’s all about money!

It didn’t work for me whatsoever after 4yrs of court and thousands of pounds wasted. For that reason I totally see that fathers for justice is total BS.

Trust me, don’t bother. There is real companies out there who will work for your end result, which you so want!

My partner used all the money he had to have a £295 "consultation call" with Matt O Connor. He was given no advice other than 'you'll never win in court, just do what her lawyer asks' despite it being totally and legally unreasonable. My desperate partner took this advice and it had no effect, in fact in empowered his wife's lawyer to come down harder with her demands. We since studied the court process and submitted a C100 ourselves, securing a court date and a fair hearing. I'm so disappointed with F4J as they have done brilliant work. But this current business model is exploiting vulnerable men and Matt O'Conner is skimming £295 AN HOUR off them. I wish I had read these reviews before suggesting he use F4J and we wish we'd used that money on getting proper legal advice. We'd have had MUCH more help if we'd spent that on 2 hrs with a qualified professional.

Does anyone read the emails sent to them or even reply ???? It seems not.

Says contact for help , contact them via their site and email...nothing
