Patient, Detailed, and Straightforward

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.

Knowledgeable and Genuine

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.

A Caring and solid partner with Integrity

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.

Exceptional Attorney

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.

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.
