Wonderful attorney

Yvonne was wonderful throughout my very long separation and divorce. She was always patient with me, kept me well informed and always had my best interests in the forefront.

Posted by Sherry | April 09, 2010 | Divorce & Separation

Yvonne is fantastic at what she does.

Yvonne has handled two cases for me, a divorce and a lawsuit for a car accident. I would use her services again.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2015.

Reciprocal - Disbarment issued in CT, 2015

updated on 07/16/2015

This means that the attorney's misconduct in another state, or jurisdiction, also violated the rules for practicing law in Connecticut.

Disbarment issued in NY, 2011

updated on 10/28/2011

Disbarment is the most serious penalty for a lawyer. If this attorney is currently practicing law, you should contact the Appellate Division of the State Supreme Court to understand the reasons for disbarment.

Resigned in Lieu of Discipline issued in NY, 2011

updated on 09/08/2021

This means the attorney resigned in order to avoid being disbarred. "Disbarment" is the most serious penalty for a lawyer.
