Angelina D. A. Gooden

I would never recommend Angelina Gooden to anyone ever! She was assigned to my child custody case and she is very inconsiderate! She has been on this case for several months and have only contacted my children in this case one time until one week before court then just makes a phone call to them. I t...hink if an amicus is appointed to children and basically has the say to where the children should be placed they should at least keep in contact with them I'd say once a week or heck even once a month! She's one sided it appears to be. She was paid $2,000.00 to maintain contact with my children which she has not done. We actually went to trial and have to go back and after leaving the trail she had contacted my children and told them things that did and did not go on in the court room which was against court laws, and therefore upsetting my children to where one of my daughters actually hung up on me. There over 1,000 miles away so I can't just go around the corner and comfort them. She kept to the other party in the case laughing and carrying on with them which is unprofessional and unlawful. It's sad to see my children be ripped apart when this woman has no idea what I've been though and have raised my children 98% of there lives without the other party. My children are hurt as well am I by this woman, what gives her the right when she knows nothing at all of what's really been going on. She even asked me why did I have another child with this person after knowing his wrongful doings, I was a teen. So please don't ever hire this lawyer for the safety of your children.

Mrs. Gooden was assigned as the amicus for my daughters custody case. She fsiled to file a proper repory to the judge in May of this. Her lack of effort to support my grandkids has caused my grsndkids to temporally be removed from my daughter without any allogations against my daughter. On the fi...rst day of meeting my daughter and my grandkids she told my daughter and her ex-husband in front of the kids that they should both be shot and beat. She told my granddaughter that she is not here to gain her trust.Angelina Gooden is a very inconsiderate and unprofessional attorney and needs to be disbarred from law because of her actions on this current case. My grandkids are in a stangers home for the holiday because of the shooty job she has done in this case. She was paid $2000.00 to take this case per court order and she has helped cause three innocent kids and my daughter more harm then any good. The worse attorney ever. She is horrible. Poor job all around. My grandkids and my daughter are all hurting because of her actions. She has not done her job from the very start on this case. She doesn't deserve to be an attorney or judge nor should she be practicing la at all.
