East London Family Court reviews

Engrained misandry within the courts is abusing children and removing loving fathers. They wont hear a case of the father and will automatically rule in favour of mum. Thecourt do not provide a certificate of service on rulings and you …

They are a pernicious biased organisation that destroys children’s homes and father-child relationships. …

No stars in fact minus stars if possible . This court just does not work making it impossible to get justice.I have been in person and handed in forms which are lost and I have no recourse.A disfuctioning disarster which could ruin your life

The entrance is at the side of 11 Westferry Circus…Entrance In Columbus Courtyard, London, E14 4HD….just a door with a sign…once inside it expands and became what you be visually expecting…

After reading the hundreds of complaints on here, it makes me wonder if its even worth leaving another poor review. But if it helps someone out, it will be worth it. These people do not get into contact with you, they do not answer …

RECORDER DHARMESH PATEL – ABSOLUTELY SHAMBOLIC. Lied that I kicked a screen in court – disgusting animal. I was asked to get the transcripts to show he lied & nothing was done & he’s still a solicitor. He should be sacked ALMOST A DOZEN …

By far the worse ever service ever attempted to call no answer for hours when they clearly state 20mins wait misleading phone line and when they eventually pick up after hours of calling they say you have pressed the wrong button when I had …

I have been ringing the number multiple times for 3 months sometimes 7 days a week, the emails do not work because no one has ever replied, how is this even legally still open, how can a court not have the responsibility to have to have a …

The staff are rude and don’t know how to talk with professionalism. How can they get a job at front desk to answer phones only to talk like that no morals or respect. Its terrible and bad service phones don’t get answered till a hour on hold .

I have been trying to reach somebody from East London Family Court regarding my case for more than 2 weeks now but unfortunately the phone number provided on the site is with 2 options which are going straight to an answer with a suggestion …

DISGUSTING!! The service from this court is absolutely atrocious! I have had a case going on for almost a year now!! It is a simple case. Nothing complex at all. …

Wish I could give a glowing report but like everyone else my experience has been dismal. …

This is a terrible court to go to. No one has responsibility towards public. They are there for their monthly salary and hardly care about you. Judge Dixon handled my case for 6 years. I should say this Judge is a cowboy who is good for …

Something is wrong with this Court. Neither the court is responding to emails nor the Judge for last 7 months. Filed complaints but they are useless. Dont know how to get my order copy from court that is pending for 8 months. …

Absolutely pathetic people and place
This organisation is sitting on taxpayer money like many other taxpayer payed places and organisation …

The worst court anyone can come across. They should close this court ASAP.
I haven’t see my kid’s for over 5 and half years because of this court corruption staff, including all means of staff from top to bottom. …

Very very disapointed, the game they are playing its not for the benefit of the children but their own!
No action, no replies, no contact. …

I traveled from abroad because I had a hearing…. I came there and they told me that its not in person rather over the phone. I was shocked why nobody bothered to tell me this. So, I waited for the phone call from the Court, guess what… …

Discracefull , how is it possible to ring constantly and be unable to get through. The phone finally rung at 20 to 5, only for the phone to ring for 25 mins unanswered. Who are these people. I submitted an application 5 weeks ago, did an …

Called numerous times in last week the phone just rings then after 50mins some one picks up and hangs up straight away, shocking service. All I want to do is find out why my local court have recieved one application and not the other although both sent to east london on the same day.

With no bombast, I would fail to conceive a more chaotically organised and less compassionate team than the one currently administering the East London Family Court. …

Wouldn’t even give one star, judge we had was a joke, suppose to take child’s needs into consideration, but never even read the concerns of one of the parents, just favoured everything that the parent who paid for the court wanted….. …

I’ve dealt with 3 judges as I obtained a Non Molestation Order on an ex fiance who was harassing me, calling the police to report fake crimes from when we were together etc. I was granted an emergency NMO. I am very happy with the …

Worst court I’ve ever known never answer phone been trying months for a email nothing feel sorry for any familys dealing with them

The judges at this court are corrupt and an absolute disgrace. If you come across Judge Dixon be prepared for basic court procedures to be ignored. He is clearly more interested in going to golf. The fall to look at evidence and are …

This court phone service is a joke I have being waiting for over an hour than they cut off the line.
The best way is just to close it.

These guys are pathetic.
The court is very irresponsible. They forget to send the documents at first place and admitted there mistake after 3 months of wait. …

One of the worst courts I have ever worked in. The woman on the desk was aggressive and dismissive, the place is heaving and stuffy. Usually a water cooler is standard as well….not here, but you cant ask the woman on the desk if there might be one somewhere, out of fear of being punched in the throat. Courtroom was clean however.

The court staff is rude. The judges tell fathers to seek legal advice and yet guide mothers on their next steps. The judges are biased, accuse fathers, and refuse to put anything against mother in the recitals that is proven by evidence.

I have complained about this court. They did not call on hearing date. I phoned every day after and no answer. Suddenly they send a later 1 month later saying (lying) that I didn’t answer the call on hearing date (I stayed with my phone ALL DAY and didn’t go work) and they gave decision in favour of my lying fraudulent ex-wife.

I don’t know what happened to people but I know what happened to me. I love HH Judge Kate Purkiss so much so I pray for her till the end of my life. In my eyes she is another Angel the first one is my mother obviously!!
Power is in Justice!!

Non caring attitude,to be told to calm down or I won’t be dealt with.
No follow up information after paying my fees to be able to see my daughter.
Utterly disgraceful customer service,had to wait on phone for 20mins because …

Come to the family court, where emotionally abused children are not classed as safeguarding issues. The court relies on info from social services who fail children an vulnerable adults on a daily basis. I.e baby P and Victoria Climbe. Where …

Absolutely Terrible.. they (some, not all) answer and hang up on you, they (some, not all) have an attitude, customer service is non existent.. just bad. Needs a well deserved revamp and new employees.. just a thought.. maybe employ those who actually want to help..

This is by far the worst court in the UK and they are proud to be.Time wasters,the only time they correspond is when they want you to pay.Don’t even bother to ring them.I had a hearing and the court did not ring me,then they said I didn’t …

wish i could give them minus…sent cloo form by recorded delivery and never got reply…then applied online and no reply..Im applying for contact with my child so i cant give up.Bigger fiasco than brexit..

No one picks the phone up! Been calling three times a day, different hours for the past month! …

Absolutely A waste space don’t reply to emails, don’t answer the phone and take for ever to get any action going, helps mother with alienating kids from there fathers!

Very unprofessional staff and judges take long deal with cases; judges say something in court and write something else in the order, plus your paperwork is likely to get lost when transferring your case to another court.

Extremely poor service, they don’t even answer the phone despite waiting over 1 hour. How is this allowed to continue?

No one answers the call, no one responds to your queries or tries to be helpful. They have a bad attitude over the phone. And if you ask multiple questions you get told that the system can only check on thing per call WTH

I called many times to change the court appointment, always they say all the staff busy, they shouldn’t haven’t a phone number if they don’t want to answer people.

…

I’ve now tried for 8 working days, each day I’ve called over 50 times. I’ve tried to call over 400 times and have still failed to get through! …

Busy family court.rather cramped lift on initial access.plenty of waiting space when you finally get up to the right floor.Please contact me if you need McKenzie Friend Support to present your own case at East London Family Court.

HH Judge Purkiss is an outstanding judge, very meticulous, very humane. She is indeed just. God bless her soul .

Worst court none of the staff know anything. Staff are rude and unprofessional. I emailed the court several times over several months and still waiting for a reply. The phone line rings and rings but no one answers.

Awful, awful, awful. Never answer the phone or email.
Whoever is in charge has clearly been promoted above their abilities.

Went to court with a lot of evidence to show that the mother of my children has lied to the police, court & social services but the judges didn’t even want to look at it. Waste of time making a case if you are a man at this court

The security steal valuable items from your bag when searching you. And then attempt to blame you

Yep. Been emailing and calling for months. No response. Its ment to be a court house.

All the social services and police are corrupt they only favour social services not parents I wish I could give zero stars corrupt judge they have taken my daughter.

Hopeless service levels, Impossible to get though on the phones and no reply to emails after 11 days. Surely in this day and age this level of service is unacceptable !

Nearly always busy. More so in the morning. The court does its best and listens to those who attend.

17 minutes after the phone lines open and I still can’t get through. This is important and they are far from equipped to deal with the nature of their business

Very bad service not answerig even after waiting over 1 hour.

Been trying to contact for over a year. Phones never answer and emails bounce back.

Don’t even deserve a star!!!!
Have you ever tried to get the phone to answer regarding an appointment?
Pathetic

The worst court I call them 200 time and the don’t answer so bad

Messed up again my daughter is now a boy on court letter .I can see my case being dismissed on this technicality, I could scream

I hate this court they gave custody of my two children to my ex even though he he hits them and has tried to kill himself many years ago.

Been phoning for two weeks ever day to talk to someone. Still not got through. Now I’m going there. Let’s see what happens now

Worst court ever, no one ever picks up the phone

Brilliant staff members. Extremely professional! And always smiling!!

they do not answer the phone, ever. The system is in disarray

Been trying to call all day can’t get through

Good luck trying to get though on the telephone..😕 …

This court favours mothers and has a bias motto

They never answer the fricking phone!!!

Incompetent judges and workers.

A horrible place thar ruins father child relationships allows alienation and excepts false allegations with no evidence how do u look these people in the eye
