| SIMON I am not a particularly religious person, but I swear Harry Crouch is an Angel! I contacted Harry looking for help with my current divorce case. He made time for me straight away, and went on to explain the process, the challenges and how he could help. He presented the information, in a clear no nonsense way; at last someone who gave the reality of going through divorce with children, and the courts system. Harry explained to me the importance of the mediation process, and we had two long sessions preparing for my mediation meeting. By the morning of the mediation, I was feeling a little nervous, but confident Harry had prepped me well. Everything went pretty much how Harry had described, and I used all his techniques, from body language to time lines. The outcome was better than I could ever have imagined, and it was all due to Harry's commitment to me getting a fair hearing. If you are in any doubt about using Harry's services, don't be - your kids are worth it. I couldn't of done it without you Harry! Eternally grateful, Simon March 23, 2007 |
| GUILLERMO Harry in particular and the California Men’s Center San Diego in general have been a fantastic and very needed source of support and information. This helped me to better deal with the abusive situation surrounding my son's life. I got facts and I was explained several things of how "the system works" which helped me make better decisions. When I went to court the first time I had the naive idea that courts=justice. Thanks to Harry and the CMCSD I realized that my situation was the norm rather than the exception; this gave me strength, support and focus for which I am very thankful. Guillermo, San Diego, CA October 20, 2006 |
| JESSE Dear Harry... just wanted to take a few minutes and say thank you for getting me out of a very dangerous situation. I feel so much better, I didn't think I could feel this way again and that I was stuck in a very bad nightmare. Things are looking up for me now. I start school this month which is what I wanted to do when I was there. Your organization has been a very big help and all men that are a violent marriage or don't have anyone else to turn to should seek you guys out. Once again thank you. Semper Fi, Jesse, eternally great full - January 2007 |

When I had really bad times with my life and wife I was introduced to Harry Crouch
of the California Men's Center San Diego. Mr. Crouch helped me and my four kids
with my divorce, custody, and actually myself too. The team at the Men's Center
really came to my aide and always listened to my problems about everything going
on in my life. I pray those problems don't continue, but if they do I will go back to
the Men's Center for more help. Harry and his team were really good working with
me and my children, helped keep me level, and helped me through the legal
process. My four girls and I now stop by the Center just to say Hi. I would recommend
the Men's Center anytime and anyplace.
With Prayers from The Girls, Maddison,
Valerie, April, and Summer.
Thank You Very Much

NOTE: Peter gained 100% physical and legal custody of his four daughters. We
helped him get a restraining order, helped him get it served, and helped him
through other legal processes.

“Call Harry Crouch, he’ll help,” said Jan from the National Domestic Abuse
Hotline. What an understatement. Disingenuous attorneys, prejudiced family
mediation counselors, a wife with BPD had led me to a state of utter confusion.
“All I want is what best for my child,” I said to myself as if a lone voice in the
wilderness.
Brains scrambled, I called Harry. A voice in my darkness hour, he helped me
gain composure and take charge of an out of control situation - inside a
contradictory system where family counselors advocate co-parent harmony and
the court system foster confrontation, an incompatible dichotomy. Harry then
delivered genuine concern and calm clear accurate advice from one who has
obviously been in the trenches, one whose dedication to what’s right takes
priority over financial gain. Harry is a genuine hero, not just for me, but also and
more importantly for our child. His voice of experience made sense of a mind-
numbing situation during a nonsensical legal experience by providing candid
guidance at a pivotal point in the pursuit of what is best for our child.
Harry makes sense of those who speak from behind $200 ties. Who at times treat
their employers (us) like idiots, taking advantage of our lack of legal knowledge,
competitiveness with disregard for what is best for father, mother and child.
Harry reduces doubt, which decrease fear and eases stress and sets you
straight about who works for whom so you can approach your representation,
your employee, in an appreciative yet non-confrontational manner exhibiting
assertiveness and confidence while expressing the fact that your representation
works for you.
Regardless of the outcome of the trail, I have sincere gratitude and appreciation
for Harry’s no-nonsense advice and genuine caring,
Sincerely,
Phil Baker

| My name is Eddy Montgomery. I just wanted to personally thank Harry Crouch for helping me. I have a three year old son who I love with all my heart. His mother was trying to take the one person that I work so hard to raise and support out of my life. Not knowing anything about mediation (court ordered child custody Family Support Services mediation) I came to Harry. The tools he provided me helped me to still have an active roll in my son's life. Harry helped get me get 50/50 joint legal and physical custody. There is no doubt in my mind that I could not have gone through this and had so much success without Harry's assistance. August 21, 2006. |
| Three years and still going I've been embroiled in a debilitating contentious divorce and child custody battle for several years, all to the detriment of my children and self. I would like people to know that the Men's Center is the only place I've found that deals with gender discrimination within the legal system, particularly the Family Court System. The Center is a growing alliance of men and women forging ahead to make our system of justice more equitable and less costly and traumatic for all involved, particularly men and their children. Over the last year and a half Center staff have helped me with documents and provided morale support, including accompanying me hearings when needed. I have regularly attended evening meetings, made numerous new acquaintances and friends, all of whom share similar experiences to mine. If you have a similar situation call the Men's Center and see if they can help. Edward G, October 2006 |
Another reason we do what

My husband (Dr. Enrique
Terrazas) is a victim of Paternity
Fraud. He appeared on Good
Morning America and ABC
News Now, as well as, several
interviews for the Times. I
applaud you for fighting. These
women need to be punished
and put in jail! Please don't
stop the fight! I want to see my
husband have his day in court
and receive restitution for all his
suffering. These women are
despicable and are not fit
mothers. Shame on anyone
who supports the lie.

Harry Crouch is the first name when it comes to mind when it comes to Family Court Services (FCS) prep. Harry is dependable and reliable and has a real interest in helping people get through the process. Harry spends quality time with my clients preparing them for mediation. Kevin A.
