Unfortunately, I had to go through a family break up recently and it caused a lot of chaos. Shumsha Hanif-Cruz was our family lawyer and she was able to get my parents' divorce settled quickly and efficiently. I won't go into too much detail as to the case itself, but Shumsha was very comforting and made sure that each party got a fair agreement. She handled most everything in court and made sure to keep it as stress free as possible for us. I have a younger brother who isn't 18 yet, so my parents were fighting for child custody of him. Shumsha was able to get my parents to come to an agreement and everything has been settled.

I highly recommend her for anyone/any families looking for a dedicated family law attorney in the oakland area. Definitely a hard time for families to go through, but Shumsha definitely takes care of her clients.
