If you’re reading this, something happened — a crash, a fall, an injury that wasn’t your fault — and now you’re in pain, worried about car repairs, missed work, hospital bills, money, and unsure where to turn. I built my firm for exactly this moment.
I fight to get injured people the money they need to heal and move forward — for medical care, lost paychecks, pain, and everything that comes after. You pay nothing unless I win.
I represent clients injured in car, truck, and motorcycle accidents; Uber and Lyft accidents; slip and falls and injuries on someone else’s property; pedestrian and bicycle accidents; serious, life-changing injuries and wrongful death.
You focus on getting better. I’ll handle the rest — the paperwork, the phone calls, and the fight to make sure you’re treated fairly.
WHY CLIENTS TRUST ME
Most attorneys have one law degree. I earned three — two of them here in the United States. I’ve spent over 30 years using them to fight for people, never the big companies. When you’re up against insurers whose whole job is to pay you as little as possible, that depth matters: I see the moves they’re going to make before they make them, and I’ve recovered millions for the families who trusted me to win.
But credentials are only half of it. When you call my office, you’re not a case number. You’re a person who needs help — and I treat every client the way I’d want my own family treated.
MY PHILOSOPHY
I believe that every person deserves to feel safe on the road, at work, in a store, or anywhere else they have a right to be. When someone chooses to ignore safety, drives carelessly, or allows dangerous conditions to exist, innocent people shouldn’t be the ones left to pay the price.
For me, practicing law is about accountability. It’s about standing up for people whose lives were disrupted through no fault of their own and making sure their voices are heard.
I also believe there is no substitute for hard work. Every result I’ve achieved has been earned through years of education, preparation, and experience. I bring that same commitment to every client and every case because I know that behind every file is a person who is counting on me.
My clients trust me with one of the most important challenges of their lives. I believe they deserve nothing less than my absolute best every single day.
A LITTLE ABOUT ME
Outside the office, I love to travel. My husband and I are always ready for the next trip—exploring new cities, finding great restaurants, experiencing different cultures, or getting out on the water. I love discovering places I’ve never been, but I’m just as happy enjoying everything South Florida has to offer.
I’m naturally curious and always learning. I’m an avid reader and typically read 40–60 books a year, with interests that range far beyond law. I love art, design, great food, new technology, and anything that gives me a different perspective. And when I’m home, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends.

Great Attorney, highly recommend!
Yana was amazing! I had an accident on I-95 where someone swerved into my lane and had my car spin out of control and ran into a concrete wall. I contacted Yanas office and they took care of me and every aspect of my case. Yana helped me with my car rental, repairs, treatment of my injuries and event...

Car Accident
Yana was able to step in when the insurance company I was dealing with refused to make payments for all of my accident related expenses.
