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.
