Yvonne assisted a family member with a difficult and complicated MVA case. She and her staff are very competent and trustworthy and they went above and beyond in their service to my family member. They kept us informed with each step and navigated a complicated process which allowed him to focus on healing. I would highly recommend her and her staff to anyone seeking an attorney who is both honest and competent....sometimes hard to find!
