Very knowledgeable

Angelina , was very knowledgeable about the laws concerning my case. She was fair, and honest with her fees.Angelina came well prepared for court,even though she had other cases right after mine and was eager to make sure I understood what I was facing through the whole process. I appreciated the fa...ct that she was aggressive in court and could not be run over by the opposing attorney. The legal process is already stressful, so it pays to have good representation.I would hire her again, no question!

All about money..dont trust her

I was thoroughly disappointed with Angelina Gooden. I would never recommend her to anyone. She was rude and condescending to me. Child custody is an emotional battle and she fought for my ex helped his lawyer drag our case on for 10 months. Angelina submitted unfinished paperwork that i am now bound ...to. She ignored my pleads for the mandatory use of the court's online communication. When my money began to run dry Angelina pushed to end without a proper resolution. Everything i asked she denied. My ex got everything. Now i am dealing with a man who returns his son to an unattended car and drives off. Angelina has forced me to retain the services of a new attorney who will modify the order as i have begged. After speaking with 5 all saying she screwed me..i am happy to move on and sever ties with her forever. Dont waste your money with a cash focused attorney. Seek a results focused attorney...shop around. Truly disappointed

Best family law attorney in the Houston area. Gives you all the options, good and bad consequences of each as well as long term consequences so that you have all the information before making a decision.

Horrible attorney

I feel the same way as the other person who described her as horrible it fit her character because she is very unprofessional as an attorney, beware of her she ain't to be trusted. I'm so glad that people have enough sense not to elect her for judge because they know she ain't qualified.

Unprofessional

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.
