A Family Law Lawyer who will work HARD for you!

If you need a lawyer who is willing to go the extra mile for you and your family, then Goushia Farook is the lawyer for you! My case was quite complicated, with Jurisdiction and Emergency Custody issues. Not only did I receive the Emergency Jurisdiction and Temporary Custody that I needed for my 16 y...ear old son, she did it quickly and thoroughly. History: Court papers originated in San Diego in 2007, were transferred to Oregon in 2012, me and my son were in San Bernardino County, and my ex wife just moved to Arizona. What a mess! And to make it harder, we were on a two week time line before my son had to be back to my ex wife! After retaining and spending a week putting the case together, we started in San Bernardino County Court. The Judge decided she didn't want to make any orders. Her ruling was that we had to go to San Diego County instead. At this point we had 3 days left. Goushia Farook was able to get us into the San Diego County Court on an Ex Parte Hearing within 2 days! Simply amazing! We still have more to do, but she made it possible to keep my son safe in my custody, begin the process of moving Jurisdiction back to California, and one step closer to permanent Custody Orders. She moved quickly, tenaciously, and kept me informed every step of the way! I highly recommend Goushia Farook for your Family Law Case!

Superb

I 100% endorse the legal abilities of Goushia Farook. She has been outstanding, instrumental and has played a significant role in the success that I have had with my case. Goushia Farook immediately got to work with familiarizing herself with the in's and out's of my family law matter. Goushia Farook... took my mater personally and offered invaluable advice and counsel. Goushia Farook has provided immediate and constant feedback on the status of my case and I give here my full and complete endorsement. I was highly impressed with her ability to pick up on the nuances of my case and handle it professionally despite jumping in at the middle of the case. When Goushia Farook came on board and assisted with my matter she made an immediate impact and worked as a tireless advocate on my behalf. I was able to establish a rapport with Goushia Farook immediately. She worked tirelessly on my matter and it is something that I certainly appreciated. You and your attorney have to be on the same page and you have to communicate effectively with him/her. Goushia Farook is a great communicator and was able to read between the lines and effectively articulate the things I was trying to say. Goushia Farook is an outstanding legal researcher as well and pointed out several aspects of my case that I was not originally aware of. If you are seeking experienced legal representation I whole heartedly endorse Goushia Farook Esq.
