Amina Rashad

Amina stepped in to represent me in a Family Court matter after my former counsel grossly failed to do so. From the moment that she stepped in I began to breathe sighs of relief - in waves over time - as she dedicatedly and systematically began to “clear the air” and bring important information to li...ght in the court of law. I was in great distress when I first met her. Her empathy and understanding was instantly and profoundly heartwarming. It seemed like no one had believed me about the domestic violence that I experienced before that day. Even some of the domestic violence advocates recognized that no one had been believing me at one point - even within the advocacy unit. But because Amina believed me and because she was willing to look at so much information and disseminate and discern what needed to be heard by others - others began to hear me too. This was an important turning point for me in beginning to heal from the trauma inflicted upon me by the other party. She represented my voice and spoke on my behalf in a way that perfectly aligned with what I had hoped she could bring forward into evidence at trial. At trial, she was truly brilliant! I wish others could have seen her in action. Her cross examination blew me away and so did her communication throughout the experience. In my case major pieces of significant information such as my ex partners violent felony record were not presented to the court by other counsel for over a year until Amina stepped in and stood up for me. She brought honesty, Grace, courage, and kindness to most all of her interactions with me and within that court. She embodies what I feel to be an outstanding character and integrity. She is ethical, diplomatic and concise. It seems to me that the work she is doing is her true calling. She does what is right. She and her entire team did remarkably well with helping me through the trauma by representing my concerns and addressing them in their entirety. I feel that she protected me and safeguarded my family. She makes herself available directly to clients. This is not some thing you see often. I count her as a superwoman in my book! A true inspiration. I feel like I can even say that she saved my life in many ways from the potential harm that was directed against me. A true blessing. I will never cease to be grateful for what she has done for me. If you are seeking a top-notch attorney to represent you and the family court matter, I gave Amina Rashad my highest recommendation. I have even told the advocacy program that I work with has a domestic violence survivor that her name should be on their list because she has a special interest in helping women who have experienced domestic violence. The world needs more attorneys like Amina Rashad & associated and I believe that she sets the bar very high.

Thank you Amina Rashad and Fazia for the excellent work you provided for me. With my case and situation we thought that the divorce would take forever considering the pandemic but everything was rushed, expedited and processed all within a few months. Your commitment with getting everything done on t...ime and being there at any time of the day means so much. I don’t have words to express my thanks to you and Fazia but here’s a million thank you’s and wishing you guys the best! Thank you!!!

I’m here to give you all a firsthand solid thorough review of Amina representing me as my family court lawyer from November 2018 to January 2020. - Yes almost 15 months! I petitioned Suffolk county family court and was trying to get to get un-supervised visits and a neutral pickup location for my... sons best interests. She represented me with great knowledge of the Family domestic relations law and procedure in family court. Her communication with me was top notch, even after I would send numerous phone calls, texts and emails of questions. she represented me with great professionalism, heart and in great detail for my case. In the end, and through a lengthy emotional trial, I did lose the trial but due to factors that were beyond my and her control. The second time around and next petition, I got what I wanted in a un-supervised visit for one of my visit days but with a condition of staying in one public location. I took what I was able to get in family court as my goal for a "baby step", as the court calls it, unsupervised visit to see my son from settlling. As tough as it is for me say and for you to bite your tongue, it is about the best interests of your son or daughter and not you! (Its hard to think about when you’re trying to get what you think is fair for your son or daughter). Amina has your best interest in mind while fighting for your rights. I must say; I never met a lawyer quite like Amina. She is the first lawyer who would call me on a Friday evening or a Saturday afternoon, or after I sent her numerous emotional texts for my case to answer my questions, and throughout all of the emotional doubt, I had in my mind, she always put me at ease. She may not get back to you in an hour but she definitely does get back to you, as she is a human being just like us, trying to manage her cases and a parent as well. She’s a great experienced lawyer and I hope to be represented by her again. I learned two things in this case. #1). Similar to a rolling stones classic song and the lyrics go something like this "You can't always get what you want [in family court], But if you try sometime you find, You get what you need." and #2) You don’t always get to find out Why from a judge or your own lawyer, you just get 75% of what you asked for because if you dont settle, the judge may order you less. My advice? If your searching for a great lawyer, you should choose Amina for any custody , visitation or family matter. - If you don’t, I strongly suggest you go see a doctor asap because you need to get your head examined after not hiring her and walking away from a great fighting trial lawyer like her. You won’t regret having her represent you!
