About Yahima

Lack of information makes families and their children vulnerable, especially in areas like Estate Planning. Estate Planning is not just for the wealthy, it is for everyone--and every family must have an Estate Plan!

I knew I needed to do something to change the lack of information. I started with myself. I commenced to see the protections I needed for my own daughter and was scared to know I had none in place. As an attorney, I was aware of many of these protections and had advised many of my clients of them, but I had not even realized all I knew and how I had to apply all to my own life.

I paused for a moment and asked myself: if something happens to me and her dad, who is going to take care of my daughter? The idea of a possible court battle and my daughter ending up with DCF (yes, foster care) petrified me!  Not for a day, no, I said to myself.

I have committed myself to make a difference in my life and the life of Working Mothers like me. I have geared my practice completely to Estate Planning because I want to make sure that families with young children have the knowledge and understanding and the tools to decide what plan is best for their family, what guardians are best for their children, what type of financial plan must be put in place to support their children if they are no longer around. I want parents to make sure they are prepared for any event. I want to make sure children are protected.  

We invite you to call our office at 305-456-7158 and schedule a Legacy and Estate Planning Session for your family. You may also visit our website at www.yslawyers.com for further information.

Last time, she could not assist because it was an out of state issue, but she guided me on how to proceed with the matter. It was a last minute appointment, but Ms.Suarez too time to listen, never in a rush, despite the fact she could not take the case.

Excellent Attorney and Great client care.

I was refer to Yahima for a child custody case. The important thing to me in my case was knowing what was going on. She was always available to answer my questions and explained the process clearly. After my case finished, she provided me with all my case documents for my records. I would definitely recommend her to my friends and family.
