Barry J. Yellen

Granted, a commercial lease was signed without consulting an attorney. Drained of resources, there was no negotiating with the landlord. The landlord, while still receiving a reduced amount while the business was struggling, initiated an eviction. This lawyer recommended surrendering the keys. When a...sked if that would be the end of it, the answer was, "...unless he sues you". The suit was filed and this attorney had no success in bringing it to a close as there were still years on the lease. When finally it went to court, the attorney's brilliant insight was to say that the landlord would win. And the judgment was harsh (Full value of the lease and 9 percent appreciation every year). Eventually another lawyer was found who actually understood and worked WITH the client.

He is the worst attorney anyone can ask for. A true nightmare. He asked for the retainer fee right away yet he did nothing for my case for over two months, the only thing he did actually made my case worse. I really don't know how he was able to become an attorney at the first place. He was extr...emely irresponsive and irresponsible, I had to fire him. And when I asked for part of my retainer fee back, he first told me he would do what was fair, but he kept on asking for more time, and still has not returned one single dollar half of a year later as of today. Stay away from using him for your case.

Mr Yellen is completely irresponsible. He seems too old to do his job, and his work and documents are completely full of errors. He made so many mistakes I've lost count and it only gets worse each time he goes to court, charging charging charging. I honestly cannot fathom how he passed the bar exam...- stay away!
