Helal A. Farhat

My case was presented before Judge Farhat on 1/28/25. It started out okay, and he seemed reasonable, until he wasn’t. He allowed my kids dad and his attorney to speak and made a determination before even giving me the opportunity to do so. When he finally did allow me to speak, I provided details th...at directly impacted the other party’s unwillingness to follow the court order that was in place and he acted like the details of my testimony were irrelevant. In addition to that, there were some inconsistencies in the documentation that they had and I attempted to make him aware by telling him that I had documents from an investigation that they completed, which proved that the other party was lying about his income and he completely ignored me and adjourned court. He dismissed evidence and failed me and my kids in the process.

He’s a Judge now but the worst judge I’ve ever encountered! He yelled at me in zoom court and did not let me get one word in, I had been a victim of abuse and stalking! I couldn’t afford a lawyer at the time but the other party had one! I had a restraining that he initially approved but at court he... denied it! I fell into a deep depression afterwards.. Yes I’m a black woman, I felt attacked by him and the other party and their lawyer, they were all men!

Helal has a very thorough understanding of the law and how to ensure his clients win, I retained him for about half the cost of competing attorneys in the area for a divorce and he was even generous enough to return some of the money since it did not take as much time as he had originally told me. He...lal is a very honest and respectable attorney, I highly recommend him!

I hired him and at first, he seemed like a great person. After I paid him a $1,500.00 retainer he stopped answering my calls. Left messages on his cell phone, with his secretary, and every time I go to the office he is not in. He also charged my Mom $2,000.00 to sit in a mediation for 4 hours. This g...uy has no ethics and no morals.
