Absolutely the Best!!

In working with Ms Farook on my child custody case over the last couple of years, there are several key characteristics about her skill sets and abilities that make her a world-class lawyer that I could not recommend more highly. First, from day one Ms. Farook took the time to truly hear my story,... listen to every detail and offer solid counsel in terms of a suggested plan of action. In my case, I was proposing a change of custody and as the father this sometimes does not make for an easy road. There were many uphill battles including parental alienation and a move away that took place by my children’s mother. Ms. Farook handled each challenge with solutions and ease. Second, the attention to detail and knowledge Ms. Farook brought to my case always made my fiancé and I feel almost like we were the only case she was working on. We know this isn’t the case, she is a very busy woman! She is sharp, finds information and puts details together to consistently stay the course and remain focused on the long term goal. There were discouraging moments through out this case and Ms Farook was there remaining our biggest advocate. Lastly, the tact and professionalism Ms Farook demonstrates creates a sincere and positive reputation in the Riverside Superior court. She knows when to stand strong while also handling things with grace. Our case lastly almost 3 years, including a child custody evaluation as well as trial. We are beyond grateful for our outcome. Ms Farook is amazing and we literally could not have done it without her.

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.
