Amina Rashad

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!

I highly recommend that anyone who needs it, should utilize Amina's services as I have been impressed with her teams knowledge, timelines and overall professionalism. I've found it difficult to find these traits in this area of expertise. Infact, it was my idea to post this review. Good luck. You won...'t need it though if you go with her team.
