Foreclosure/bankruptcy consulation very knowledgable lawyer

Mr.Yesner was very knowledgeable and detailed while explaining the current options available to my specific case. I highly recommend him if you're experiencing any foreclosure/bankruptcy issues as he explores any possibility/outcome that may pertain to your case.

Highest recommendation

Shawn Yesner has been my attorney for more than 7 years. As a Florida real estate investor and property manager, I have had the utmost confidence to bring every matter related to my business to Shawn, knowing that his legal guidance would be solid and enlightening. Whether in person, through email, o...r on the phone, Shawn has always been easily accessible, highly personable and extremely collaborative: I always feel that I am in a conversation with a good and caring friend when we consult, and our conversations give me the sense that I am learning from Shawn's legal expertise, while he is listening carefully to my concerns. With this collaborative process, we invariably come to clarity on the best legal options together for me to serve all stakeholders in my business. Shawn Yesner has earned my loyalty, and I am proud to offer him my highest recommendation.

Representation against HOA attorney first rate

Shawn met with me twice prior to the mediation: once to discuss the case and once to go over the paperwork. The mediation was successful, he was cheerful and professional throughout, which I felt calmed the reps from the "other side". He helped to see things as they were, and all is well. He didn't a...dd a fee to agreed upon amount when the mediation when it when over. He's a nice person, honest, up-front in terms of the financial aspect and the strengths and weaknesses of your case, and adds that element of caring that is so rare these days.

Completely Educated Professional

Where do I start! Shawn is true professional and cares about your situation. Shawn will take time out of busy schedule to make you feel like you are his number 1 client. He understands real estate law and helped us with our landlord trying to end our 3 year lease one year too early. Shawn discussed o...ptions prior with me and then got a chance to chat with my landlord. Communication that I would of not been able to do myself with my landlord. Shawn's end result with our situation made for me and my 4 month pregnant wife to rest easier knowing that we did not need to worry about our move just yet. Thanks Yesner Law!

"Shawn is an excellent attorney, and a compassionate advocate for his clients. The clients that I have referred to him have appreciated his hands-on approach to their case, including frequent status updates and accessibility. Not only has Shawn assisted many of my clients, he has assisted close personal friends. In addition, I have called him many times over the last 7 years to 'bounce' ideas around with him and brainstorm on what was best for our mutual clients. Not only is Shawn an excellent attorney, he is a kind person who always lends an ear, a loving father, a dedicated husband and a family man. A well-rounded man who zealously represents his clients. A total class act. Clients are lucky to have Shawn as an attorney."
