Continue to hang up on my friend even though my friend is a client. Such rude receptionists. My friend had to do all the work and they helped with absolutely nothing at all. Would never recommend this place to anyone. I wonder how they are still in business.

These group is just free marketing for lawyers. They give u papers to file- information you can find at the courts.

You can google forms now days.

They are useless.

This place is not good they only have 3 attorneys here I've been here since 8am and I am still here its 2pm in I still have 6 people in front of me. So first come first serve you wait more than 5 hours. You can be here waiting at 8am when they open in you'll still be here.

Love u all fathers pay attention their are people that care about fathers and will allow u the help to see your children.

The person that answered the phone was rude. Did not give a damn about what I was trying to explain don’t wast your time. They just want your money.

Paid them to get help to get full custody of my child once they got the money they never wanted to answer just a question since it's been since 2013 I did all the paper work and never got no notice about everything I did for my son. Would never recommend this TO NO ONE!!! Fraud.

I thought this place was going to help me :(
It's a none profit.
I do understand that ,but for what they don't talk about is $150.00 nonrefundable
$300.00 for you to be a member for one yr I think?
$300.00 to do the paperwork .
$50.00 to rush paper work.
It will take 2 to 3 weeks.
Smh
I paid $300.00 for paper work somewhere.
And I didn't paid court fee.
Plus it took 2 days to do paper work.
I thought of this place for long time
Took 7 minutes to realize was a no no.

People should be careful of this place . They just collect your money for nothing, all they after is your money, they will not tell you many things all they will be after is where's your money. And when they tell you sign here, tell them you want to take it home and read before you sign, a lot of the English has contradict you . They won't tell you your money is no tegu

I waited on the phone for 3 hrs and 4 mins to be hung up on

A year after my wife walked out on me and the children we were still married and I decided to take action I could not afford an attorney so a friend of mine told me about fathersforequalrights. I went down to hear what they had to say and from the very beginning they insisted they could help me. In order for me to receive their help I would have to become a member of their organization, a membership that costs $550 per year. I figured $500 is much better then thousands of dollars a lawyer would cost. After you become a member you are then informed that the staff attorneys do not work by appointment. It is on a first come first serve basis. When I showed up I had to wait 3 hours in a tiny cramped waiting area with various other people. The quality of most of the people here in the waiting room with makes one feel as though they are waiting in line to get euthanized. I was finally able to see an attorney who quickly took my information in about 20 minutes, they didn't want me to go into detail about anything she said she would get all the necessary documents and paperwork in order for me to take to court to file. divorce. When I take this paper to the court they looked at it like I had just thrown a bunch of regurgitated garbage I pulled off the internet onto their desk so immediately I went back to the law Center. This time I was told in order for me to have any amendments made to my paper work, by the way I have already waited two months for this paperwork by this time, I would need to schedule an appointment. Will this time the appointment had to be on a Saturday and the first Saturday that they had available was going to be at least 10 to 12 weeks away. Patiently I awaited that day. During my appointment as the attorney was looking over the papers I am now told that my case has become too sophisticated for them to handle but the same attorney would be happy to take the case or rather refer me to a friend where I would then have to pay do have legal representation wish I could have done from the very beginning. I told them how much of a joke I thought their services work and requested a refund as it is stated in the initial signing of the contract. Apparently that only pertains if you cancel your membership before you talk to anyone. What a joke

I HATE FATHERS 4 EQUAL RIGHTS. And I refrain from using the word HATE.
They take advantage of you because you are DESPERATE and want to believe they will save you from losing your kids.
After they take your money they start to speak to you in a belittling way, like you DO NOT MATTER and they act like you are taking their valuable time, some act like they are there because they are doing community service.
Today I have my kids full time, only because I played smart and played the system rules, the most ironic thing is I used a pro bono woman lawyer from ADVA, Aid To Victims Of Domestic Abuse. FATHERS 4 EQUAL RIGHTS SHOULD BE TAKEN HEAD ON AS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT.

This was absolutely the worst experience one could ever have when in need of representation and/or help with family issues. The $600 that I spent was a total waste. They told me to write an affidavit with all the facts. When I did so they said it was too long and I had to rewrite it. Eventually it was approved and I filed all the paperwork to court. The process server company did not serve the mother the paperwork so when I got to court we were just turned away. I called F4ER and they told me that I would have to wait in line to speak to a lawyer again and it could take all day. This was a total FAIL.

Worst place ever they are wolfs dressed in sheeps clothes. Especially the guy you first see to sign up they promise you a lot but as soon as you make a payment your screwed waiting in a room with no help. The room you wait in for hours & hours feels like a daycare because of all the kids with their parents if it wasn't for the kids it would feel like jail. Your better off at the law library doing your research if your desperate enough to go to them seriously bad people trust me.

Don't waste your money!

They are rip-off this is not a law office there no lawier to repesent anyone They take your money and leave you with noting to live on please don't deal with these people they are fraud fraud

DO NOT WASTE UR MONEY PLEASE GET A REAL LAWYER!!!

They are slow...ull be sitting all day in a crowded room to ask one question...they take to long to get you ur paper work..and then they dont even do it right!!! u have to file everything with the courts urself which are all things u can pay a LAWYER to do its there job I knw its pricey but damn why waste ur money and look like an ass in court?? I was lucky the court girl liked me and set me up with a good lawyer i could afford and reset my court date before i saw the judge...but it was after i had already wasted my hard earned money on these fathers rights losers >:( ... GET A LAWYER!! IF UR THIS DESPERATE THESE MF WONT HELP TRUST ME. GOD is good and will get u through this.

My BF went here to get custody of his daughter since her mom passed away and these people have been no help at all. The paper work is done wrong and they take forever to give it back. They lost his paperwork twice!!! This is a waste of $500 dollars, please just consult a lawyer. A lawyer is not included in their price, you only get a free consultation and if you decide to hire them you have to pay out of pocket.

Everyone in the waiting room have the same complaint, they're very very slow at doing your paperwork. For example it's been over 1 week and I am still waiting for approval on my affidavit for emergency custody and I paid the additional expedite rush fee, they told me this approval takes 24 hours, after its approved they need to prepare it which takes weeks unless you pay another expedite fee, so here I am in a middle of an emergency expecting to have it by now and it's not even being looked at yet. While I was there everyone in the waiting room had bad things to say, some lady said she's been waiting for 3 weeks for the affidavit approval(for something they say it takes 24 hours), the Secretary comes in and I hear her tell this woman"we can't find your affidavit, I need you to rewrite it, and since you don't speak English you need to get someone to translate it" the woman got upset and said "how could this be? I called and called and you guys said you received it?!", I felt so bad for her. Word of advice save the $600 you're going to WASTE, all they do here is barely give you advice, you're better off calling the Houston bar association on Wednesday and get FREE law advice. It's faster to do it on your own, go down to the court house and file the documents, they also have lawyers at the court house you can ask, but just call the Houston bar association and they will tell you which forms you need and the steps. The name "Fathers For Equal Rights" sounds so good when you're desperate and need help, but they're just taking people's money, they don't keep their end of the deal, before you pay they tell you it's only 24 hour wait for approval, 3 day wait if you pay expedite fee for them to prepare the paperwork for you, then YOU have to take it down to the court house and file it your self. Fathers For Equal Rights only have 1 random lawyer on duty, people get there before 8am to make a line to see a lawyer, then you wait 3-4 hours to only get 10 minutes to explain your situation to this lawyer, then he rushes you out, and you got NOTHING accomplished. Like I said take those 4 hours you're going to be sitting in this waiting room and go down to the court house, prepare your paperwork, file it the same day for $50. Trust me....you will l regret using them...

Update 9/16/13:
They screwed up my court papers twice, they only included one of my children, and put someone else's name instead of mine, I was told it was ready last week but would not let me come pick it up until today, then the girl hands me the SAME screwed up paperwork. I've asked if I could cancel my membership and get a refund because they have not done anything for me, they said I signed a contract that states no refunds. I've asked to speak to the sales person who made me all these promises, who made it sound like he was going to help me, they won't let you speak with the person who sold you the services, they're aware of what they're doing that's why they have separate waiting rooms, that way the new people trying to join won't hear the complaints. Everyone in the waiting room have the same issue, they don't care about your case.

Take my advise, just get free consolation over the phone from the Houston bar association and do the paperwork yourself.

This place sucks and is a waist time and money. I would not recommend anyone here at all.
