Outstanding

I retained Ms farook last minute and since I've had very bad prior experiences with attorneys I was skeptical. But Ms Farook is outstanding, attentive, thorough, kind and honest. My case is far from over and a few more court appearances may be necessary, but at least I know I can rely on her 110% a...nd be by my side during a stressful time. She doesn't tell you what you want to hear, she tells you what is rational and realistic. Bravo Ms Farook and thank you!

Very professional, first rate, outstanding.

What really stands out for me about Ms Farook is how knowledgeable and professional she is but at the same time very understanding about what her clients are going through. She is very, very thorough. I was struck about how passionate she is about getting a very fair result in a timely manner and how... she wants her clients protected from post litigation. The Final Judgement she wrote for my case was iron clad. This protected both parties, not just myself. Ms Farook, once again, thank you.

Quick response

I was in desperate need of an attorney when I walked into Mrs Farooks office as I had to remove my existing counsel on short notice, Goushia wasted no time and got up to speed quickly on my case, all the way through she had the answers when I asked questions, she always called or emailed me back ASAP..., she is very professional and made me feel like I was her only client, in court she carries herself very well, and knows her way around, I always felt like I had the better lawyer when I looked around the courtroom, I hope I never need her service again but I would and will recommend Goushia to anyone in need, my case ended up in my favor due to Goushia expertise in the art of negotiations. Thank you.

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!
