My name is Mikaíl Rashid of Rashid Family Law|Legal Technician.  I am passionate about helping people resolve their family law disputes.

Journey to Practicing Law:

I became interested in family law after struggling to complete a child support modification. As many attempts, my petitions and orders had many errors needing correction. Every law clerk I asked for assistance told me they could not give “legal advice” and to consult an attorney. That was problematic because I could not afford an attorney, and at that time, there were few, if any, pro bono (free) services available to low-income persons like me.

After years of trial and error, I finally got a commissioner to sign my orders. While preparing my child support modification, I spoke to many African American men with children in similar situations (court-ordered child support based on imputed and speculative income standards). African-American men struggling through the legal system is the impetus for opening Rashid Family Law|Legal Technician.

Now after years of education and experience, I desire to help as many people as possible in their quest to maintain a relationship with their children and a sense of normalcy – after splitting from the other parent.
