2024-05-21 01:29:15I should have known from the start that this was going to be a scam. Both women that I talked to when I first called were extremely pushy. I did the document services deal where they do your paperwork, you deal with the court.I am now filling a statement with BBB and my bank for fraud.I paid 1150 to have them provide me paperwork to start a court case. I filled out a ton of paperwork and got back two pages which I was directed to take to the court to file. It took forever to get the other party served, and in the process, I was emailing my case manager the whole time. Two months go by and after many emails and phone calls that were never returned, I finally get an email that the email I am trying to send to is not a valid email anymore. It took me an additional two weeks to find out that the person was either let go or quit.I was told I would be provided with a second set of paperwork that would be the order that the judge was to sign.I have tried many times to call the company, and speak to my new case manager, Jeff Lightfoot. I told him I needed the next set of paperwork so I can acquire a court date. to which he told me I would just need to go talk to them to set one up. The lady at the courthouse explained I needed the order. I tried to call a bunch more times and emailed him multiple times with zero response. I finally emailed him and said I need a refund since the agreement was not withheld and I was not provided with all the paperwork I paid for. I today received an email back that they have done their side of the work, and I sent me back the agreement that states all sales are final blah blah blah, even though in said agreement it states that (THEY WILL PROVIDE ALL NESSASARY PAPERWORK). To top it all off, Ive been told they are closing and will no longer be working with me. I am demanding a refund for this scam, and will be sharing this with the BBB. I want my $1150 back.oh, for the record, I have saved all the emails where I was told what all paperwork I would be provided with (Which I have not) and the emails where he state they will no longer be working with me due to closing.whatever you do, DO NOT GIVE THEM MONEY. Now I need my money back.

2024-02-10 00:16:20I had a decent experience. Though I used the services a few years back. I was guided in the proper direction and definitely did my own homework and research coupled with their professional knowledge, which made my life and decision making, easier. The reason I give 4 stars was because of the response time. The response time wasnt terrible, wasnt great either, it was above average, but everything else was great. I cant even remember the person I dealt with, but I was pleased with the services. The guy was personable and listened well.

2023-12-20 21:52:47Everyone at Family Court Direct did their best to help me in a situation I had no clue how to get through. Im now getting joint custody of my daughters due to their help. If youre in a tight situation with money and need someone to put your trust in to guide you, do the proper paperwork, and consult you before you walk into the courtroom. Family Court Direct is that team. They prepared me to be my own lawyer for a fraction of the price to hire a lawyer and everything was so easy and smooth. Thank you Family Court Direct! There is so much more to say but I have a visit with my daughters.

2023-10-23 17:54:58In my desperation I found Family Court Direct for a legal help with my child support case. They charge me $1,150.00 to start my case, then $120.00 for a membership and $39.00 per month. This was only to fill out something documents which I could do it myself.They never checked the status of my case, nor the motions or anything else.3 months later they send me the paperwork to bring it to the court and when I got there the court employee told me that the case was closed and didnt receive any paperwork,and told me that I need a legal representation not a company from another State.Adding that the communication wasnt good because they never answered my phone calls so I had to leave a voice message every time.Finally I called again and I was able to speak with someone and I asked for my money back because their services were insufficient for my case.They told me that I signed a contract (contract wich doesnt have my name correctly nor my initials) I dont use them I will loose my money.I think this is unprofessional and this company shouldnt being outside taking advantage of fragile and lack of legal knowledge of persons.

2023-01-04 13:37:05Once I paid the $159 for self help, the case coordinator will not call me back. I was finally able to get a hold of customer support. I was told that I had a new case coordinator. I was given her number and left a message for her to call me. Still no call from anyone. I just want my money back. Not sure what the problem is with them. Now I am trying to figure out how to cancel the membership. They do not make it easy. Please, just refund my money.

2023-06-28 00:02:21I would not recommend this service. I cancelled as soon as I paid the $159 after being told about the additional fees it would cost to get started on my case. I think thats why they charge you upfront and refuse to refund you. I was charged an additional $39 and called to see what was going on and in spite of them doing absolutely nothing for me i was told there was no refunds. I then stated that I needed to get something for the money spent and was told that my membership wouldnt be cancelled and whoever was on my case would call in which they didnt. I then recieved an eemail stating my membership was cancelled. I think this business is shady and to anyone reading this considering using them I would look elsewhere

2023-06-07 19:59:03Absolutely do not pay this so called company!! They gave me the run around. Passed off to several people . No services provided.Wont give me a refund. Now extremely rude during contacts claiming I scammed them!!@ Trust me dont, dont, dont throw your money away on this so called company. Might as well toss $159. right out the window. Total joke. Reporting to BBB.

2023-02-25 16:56:19I am reporting this company to the federal trade commission. If you read this please follow my suit and report them also. I was specially told I would pay $150 and have access to documents for a monthly fee of $40. When I spoke to the next person that stated it would be MORE.She also had the audacity to ask me “how much can you afford” I was immediately offended. I will afford services based off what I need and that was access to the online documents. They couldn’t even give me legal advice. I have been told they will listen to the call and if I was informed it was 40 monthly, I would be refunded. It’s need 5 business days and I have not been contacted, so I’m reporting them.

2023-12-15 23:18:38This is an absolute scam! After 3 months of feet dragging and lies about mail & emails sent, the incorrect paperwork arrived and was rejected by the courts. Save your money, this business will only add to your problems! YOU WILL REGRET PAYING THIS COMPANY!
