Good lawyer

Ted was a great choice in lawyer. He was very ethical and is a man of sound judgement. Would use him again. Highly recommend.

Posted by Michael | June 11, 2019 | Hired Attorney

Recommendation

One of the most competent and professional lawyers I have had the pleasure of representing me. Ted Yoakam’s extremely competent representation and broad experience brought the resolution I hoped for.

Posted by Eileen | January 01, 2012 | Insurance

Living in Hell after a car accident

While the insurance company said we didn't need a lawyer, I knew that I had to have someone to help us. Ted was this someone. It took over 2 years, but thankfully it ended. And when it did, the Jury saw our case as it really was. When you need someone on your side to show the truth, call TED, he...'s the one.

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.
