Goushia G. Farook

Ms. Farook was patient with me and all of my questions that I had. She was attentive to my level of detail when I reviewed the documents. She explained each step of the process. She was fair and told me straight what could be or could not be done. I have gone back to her twice and have been very ...satisfied with the level of service received.

Ms. Farook has been representing me through my child custody proceedings since 2019. Her representation has been stellar. She has put forth a lot of effort in assisting me with my matters. She has kept me informed while also keeping me grounded with realistic possible outcomes throughout the past two... years. This has been a long road which will more than likely continue throughout the years and I appreciate Ms. Farook for her diligence and knowledge throughout this delicate process.

DO NOT COME HERE if you are looking for assistance with a restraining order and child custody!!!!! All they did was waste time and money to not even follow through with the contract they provided! They never once cared about my case but I never had to do this and trusted them after reading reviews fo...rking over almost 10,000 without question! Maybe you will have a better experience with other services but if you are advised to have Gousiha Farouk RUN. When I obtained her as a lawyer she had only been with the law firm for 9 months had I known she wasn’t experienced in the field I would have never gone forward! I have a restraining order against the other party in the criminal and family law. After working with them for months she advised that we had more than enough sufficient evidence to continue with pursuing a restraining order prior to going to court the other party had tried negotiating multiple times making her job easier to find a middle point. when we went to the first hearing it was continued and the opposing party requested visitation until the next hearing it was granted and mind you the day before her specific words to me were they cant get both a continuance and ask for custody and what will you know the next day I get a call from her legal assistant Sara Travoki telling me this information and to my surprise I couldn’t believe it in shock and her response to me was you new this was going to happen I will never forget because I still said nothing not only in shock from the news but having her say that as if it was nothing. Being in shock and hearing that I had to respond and I said oh ok I will talk to gousiha and she quickly hung up. I understand it’s the norm for these attorneys as they do this day in and day out but at least act like you care and how can you say that to someone who is going through a difficult matter involving a baby! When I followed up with gousiha, as always she tries to make it as if it was our of her control but mind you before she was so certain with her expertise and experience and I understood because what can I do when court already took place at this point we had discussed everything and I still was uneasy about the comment her legal assistant made and I spent so much money I think it’s fair for me to address my concerns and so as soon as we finished our conversation I explained how her legal assistant stated that to me mind you because the court took place that same day I had to go pick up documents from them and she had hung up on me I had to call back in and I went the same day to pick up my paperwork and I expressed how that shouldn’t have been said because I did that the next thing I know she’s saying that she’s know going to have to refer me to someone else. We continued to talk and she told me she spoke to her other partners and they want to continue to refer me to someone else yet we were just talking about the plan to move forward and our next steps and we were about to the call but because I expressed how I felt regarding how her assistant handled the breakdown of my case all of a sudden my case was thrown out the window and technically at this point she was saying oh I will follow up with you in two days to see what decision we make but clearly and even when speaking with her it was evident that she didn’t want to handle my case so she would look for any excuse to cancel contract and in the retainer they notate they can remove themselves if they have a reason as to why they feel they cannot continue and what do you know all of a sudden now my evidence isn’t sufficient and now there advising I shouldn’t even try to get a continuance of my restraining order and at this point they claim there isn’t enough to move forward and that is the concern and reason for why they will terminate the contract mind you at this point I have reached out to opposing party myself and they confirmed they have not sent any new evidence so all my evidence is still the same there are no changes there

I was referred Attorney Farook by her Managing Attorney, William Bratton - what a gift! Attorney Farook was not only responsive and sensitive to my situation. Her professionalism and attention to detail was impressive. I thought I knew exactly what I needed, however this did not deter her from he...lping me to see and understand other options that I had not thought about upfront. When I asked difficult questions, I received honest and direct answers- however she always did her best to meet and even exceed my desires and expectations, while not over promising. As her client i was left with the overriding feeling that she is always working in your best interests and cares. I can only but highly recommend Attorney Farook for anyone looking for someone they can trust and depend on.

Having worked with 5 other attorneys I feel quite qualified to provide a thorough review. Ms. Farook is an absolute professional and practices with confidence and impeccable ethics. She was incredibly prompt, thorough, and knowledgeable about all elements of my case. Not once did I have to repeat inf...ormation and she came prepared for every meeting as well as every appearance in court. She took an immense amount of stress out of a very stressful situation. I could not give her a higher recommendation.
