Yana, the human lawyer

Worked with Yana on family related matters: Health Care Proxy, Power of Attorney, etc. I had about seven hundred and twenty three questions about who and how makes decisions, who would inherit what and from whom, who gets notified about what and when and how. Yana was able to answer all of those with...out making me feel like I am overburdening her, offered a number of scenarios I didn't realize existed, and did all of this in a plain human language that actually made sense, rather than in some obscure terms that are only relevant to the folks who survived law school. She is very thorough and attentive and patient, and made the potentially tedious exercise into a pleasant one. I also urged my parents to work with Yana on their wills and planning documents, and they were very pleased with their experience, as well. Thank you, Yana, for being the lawyer who speaks the human language!

Very knowledgeable and professional attorney

I contacted Ms Feldman regarding some of the intricacies of setting up a will and organizing our finances. She handled my request with professionalism, high level of knowledge and patience: she listened to all my questions and concerns and provided me with a detailed, precise consultation focused on... my issues. I would gladly recommend dealing with Ms Feldman -- her attention to detail, people skills and most importantly level of expertise set a very high bar.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
