About Yanique

Attorney Yanique L. Otto attended the University of the West Indies where she studied psychology and human resource management. She graduated from Barry University, with a bachelors degree in psychology. She then earned a masters degree in Clinical Psychology from Nova Southeastern University in Davie, Florida, with an emphasis in marriage and family therapy. Prior to attending law school, Ms. Otto worked in both business capacities, as well as counseling families with children who were victims of sexual abuse. Ms. Otto then went on to obtain a juris doctor degree at the Florida State University College of Law. She was the recipient of the prestigious Ladd Scholarship for all three years during her law school career. Her experience working with families in various settings makes her uniquely positioned to handle legal family matters. She brings not just her knowledge of the law, but her professional understanding of the issues inherently related to many of those matters. Ms. Otto is also a Florida Supreme Court Family Law Mediator, and heads up the firm's Peaceful Divorce Division. When she's not working, she likes to relax at the beach, sing at her local church, and spend time with her six year old son.

Review Yanique Otto

Personal Injury

Posted by

Earlier this year, my car was hit while I waited at a stop light. Attorney Otto’s Assistant, Adeola reached out to me at the prompting of my doctor. She was pleasant and professional as she shared the process involved with the pursuant of compensation for the repair of my vehicle, as well as for any pain and suffering that I may have been experiencing. Attorney Otto was always available to answer my many questions related to my case and spoke to me in clear layman terms. I truly appreciate the kindness and professionalism Ms.Otto displayed as well as her staff; I will gladly refer others to the Otto Law Group for legal services in the future or I will contact them should I need services myself as well.

Personal Injury Case

Posted by

I came to the Otto Law group in 2014 for my car accident. She explained the entire process and set my expectations for what was to come from all the parties involved. I appreciated the way she communicated with me frequently so I was kept abreast of what was taking place and why. She settled my case with great results!!!!!!!
