The perfect lawyer

Mrs. Gooden has virtually saved my life. She's allowed me to get my son back. She's helped me with so much over the last year and a half. I don't know where I'd be without her. She's always accessible, and goes above and beyond the call of duty to help her clients. I would refer her to anyone who was... in need in a lawyer.

Excellent Attorney

Mrs. Gooden is a woman of good character and very professional. Her level of knowledge concerning my rights as a father help ease my stress during the time I was fighting for my rights during child custody of my daughter. Her communication skills were up front and honest with good news. As a Marine o...f 27 yrs and a Houston Firefighter of 15 years, she was exactly what I was looking for as an attorney and will continue to use her services. I highly recommend her as an outstanding attorney.

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

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.

Lack of Morals and integrity

Refuse to admit information into my case which would clearly was substantial. Suppress evidence and did not respect or follow through with case with integrity. Lack of care for what was truly the well being for my children. I would never advise anyone to hire this unprofessional and unskilled atto...rney.
