Posted by anonymous | April 15, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Domestic Violence

watching Tanis in court is like watching Jordan on the court " she knows what she's doing "

Today in court I watched Mastery , Tanis is a skilled, brilliant, & powerful attorney. After I was falsely accused of domestic abuse in 2014 , and issued a restraining order and re issued again in 2015 , my prior lawyers basically told me to stay quiet and I did , I listened and listened to 100% fals...e accusations my my ex , I hired attorney Yannetti in 2015 , she was confident right away she could have this restraining order terminated immediately , yet she she still made a wise decision to wait until today April 14, 2016 to finally " have my day in court " Tanis made this decision so she could get to work , pulling transcripts, having them transcribed , finding all inconsistent statements made by my ex Tanis found things that Nobody else saw , from big things like Purgery , to dates that just didn't or couldn't even be possible, all overlooked by my former council , she took on 4 lawers today , and stayed so cool , the plaintiff my ex , could not control herself and her lawyers and the judge had to constantly tell the plaintiff to stop , Tanis read every transcript and her knowledge on my case was outstanding, picking up immediate on any inaccuracies the opposing lawyers made and some were small that most attorneys would miss, her objections were timely and perfect and her asking of the relevance of certain items brought in or up kept the hearing in order not allowing anybody to divert the subject of why we were there and that was Justice , I was losing faith in our Justice system Tanis restored it! If anybody needs help with false accusations, and women being guided by V.A.W.A . Tanis is your best shot in a positive outcome . Her closing arguments, were powerful and strong , stating facts . Today Justice prevailed and it happened because Tanis Yannettis attention to detail! God Bless America

Competent, Compassionate and Caring Counsel

I had no experience in the criminal justice system. I was frightened, overwhelmed and did not know what to expect in court. I hired Tanis Yannetti to represent me and I was not disappointed. Tanis was professional, intelligent, caring and tough! She worked on my behalf on two cases in the last yea...r. She explained the law and specific legal options in a very understandable way and let me know what to expect. Her advice and her performance in the court room was outstanding. Tanis won my case allowed me to get on with my life! I would highly recommend Tanis and her firm should you need legal representation.

Tanis Yannetti: An Intelligent, Strong Caring Attorney

I have worked with many attorneys over the last 25 years and I have never had the pleasure to work with one as professional, intelligent, strong, and caring as Attorney Tanis Yannetti. Tanis has worked on my behalf on three cases in the last 4 years. She has very fair and cost effective billing. She ...explains the law and specific legal options in a very understandable way. Her advise out of the court room and her performance in the court room has been the best I have ever seen in a lawyer. Tanis originally was hired for a very complicated criminal defense jury case where she won a not guilty verdict in record time. Even though Tanis is well known for defense work, I have recently had her work on a case where she has been essentially doing the job of a private prosecutor. Tanis is so versatile with the law that one would be well represented by her in any type of legal situation or case, I have successfully been, and I recommend her as a lawyer very strongly.
