Goushia G. Farook

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

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.

Ms. Farook is an AMAZING attorney. She's very professional with other attorneys and works efficiently for her clients. My case ended up being more difficult than expected, but Ms. Farook stood by me every step of the way. She may be a young attorney, but in court she stood out amongst all the other s...easoned attorneys in this county. I was very happy to have Ms. Farook in my time of stress and heartache. She helped me resolve all my legal matters in the quickest and easiest way possible. I definitely recommend her and the Law Office of Shauna Albright for any family law matter you may have.

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!
