You know what I'm talking about. If you have one , Doreen can handle it. She took what was going to be a 2-3 year life altering divorce and had it done start to finish in 7 mo. She knows what to do to drive it to a conclusion quickly.

Paternity/Parenting Plan

From the first consultation to the final judgment Attorney Yaffa and her professional staff handled everything first class. Her calm and caring ways at a time when life seemed upside down, her professional knowledge and understanding was always extremely clear and evident allowing for great communica...tion not only between attorney/client but with the Respondents attorney. Her desire to get things done promptly and not have the case drag on was proof that it wasn't ever about the bottom line. As in most profession's there is no question "you get what you pay for" and I can say honestly Doreen Yaffa was worth every penny. Attorney Yaffa would and should be any persons first choice for Marital, family law as well as many other related areas of law if needed. I can honestly say Ms. Yaffa should be any clients first choice

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.
