Knowledgeable, Professional Appellate Attorney

I had a consultation with Rachel Yates and was incredibly impressed by her professionalism, compassion, and depth of knowledge. She took the time to truly understand the complexities of my case and offered thoughtful guidance, referrals, and next steps, all with empathy and care. Although I’m unable ...to retain her at this time due to financial limitations, I left the consultation feeling heard, respected, and supported. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking legal assistance in her areas of practice. She is a rare combination of knowledgeable and genuinely kind.

Avvo Rating

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.
