Yetunde Freda Okunade

I liked her in the beginning until she scammed me out of thousands of dollars by quitting a MONTH before the final hearing and never returning any of my calls. She quit literally RIGHT AFTER I PAID HER. She lied and said that she switched to a new law firm and could no longer represent me but I see t...hat she still works for the same law firm. She never refunded me and is now ignoring my calls and emails. And to make matters worse she passes me off to a even more incompetent inexperienced lawyer that also NEVER answers the phone just like her. She’s very rude and UNHELPFUL when I asked her simple questions regarding my case. I didn’t feel like she was on my side the entire time, she was saying no to every request I would make and made me feel like a child and tell me that ‘that is just impossible to do’ like who’s wide are you on? If you’re my lawyer you should want to fight for me why do I feel like I have to pull teeth to get you to do things pertaining to my case? I wish I never chose her as my lawyer and did my research, now I am out of thousands of dollars and my final hearing date pushed back even further I am so unsatisfied and I regret ever choosing her. DO NOT waste your time and money she is the worst!!! Once this case is over I will be suing you for malpractice you owe me money!!! You can’t ignore my calls forever.

I worked with Yetunde on two child support cases and both ended in my favor. She listened and she provided direction (along with a checklist) on what we needed to do. For both court dates, we were more than prepared and both were settled in my favor. One of the best things I liked about working wi...th Yetunde is that it was a partnership. I wanted to make the decisions but I needed legal help on the risks of my decisions. She provided the legal counsel that I needed to position my kids for the future. She’s a "work-behind-the-scenes" kind of person but her outcomes are awesome!!

Ending a marriage of 33 years is more than just an emotional process. It’s a legal process as well. The process was thoroughly explained to me during our consultation. Attorney Yetunde Okunade helped guide me through the divorce process. She was helpful, knowledgeable and understanding. As well as... very honest with me about the strength and weakness of my case. Attorney Yetunde allowed me to vent my frustration and anger without judging me. She was professional, calm and patient with me each time that we met or communicated. Attorney Yetunde was accessible to me with regular contact about the status of my case either by phone or email. I would not have had the outcome without the care and representation of Attorney Yetunde Okunade . She was recommended to me and now I highly recommend her to you.

I hired her for a divorce because initially she said her retainer fee was $500 after I consulted with her she let me know within 30 days or 60 she would need another 550$. She did not look for or locate my husbands 401k which I asked her to do. She did set up my mediation and took another retainer f...rom me after my first court date of 1000. For a total of $2050.00, I had another better attorney with much more experience say they could help me and it would cost about 2000 but I went with her because I didn't have a lot of money to spend but I ended up paying her just as much as them. The court hearing was 30 minutes and she was in mediation for a few hours that is all the time she spent with me the rest was calling I guess and emails but basically she did nothing for me for the first 1050.00 but the 40 minutes in court. Then for the other 1000.00 she went to mediation for a couple of hours. My divorce was final on August the 21st. I have never received anything from child support yet and I have no knowledge of when I will get it monthly, weekly or where it will come from the last three checks she gave me when i picked up the divorce papers all bounced. Also I feel she didn't advise me well as to what the papers say about my half of the equity that I'm entitled to in the house. She sent me a letter saying that she had fulfilled her obligation and that she was withdrawing as my attorney and when I contacted her to find out about something else (child support, health ins) she said I'm sorry I am no longer your attorney you need to contact his attorney and find out yourself. The problem is I have a protective order against my ex husband and I can't just contact him to find out anything for myself. So here it is 3 months later and I still have yet to get an insurance card for my son and NO child support STILL. I am supposed to sign over my rights to the house via a quick deed and he is supposed to refinance it and give me my half of the equity the problem is i feel I will do that, then my name will be off of the house and he will have no reason to refinance it and our mortgage was bought three or four years ago by Chase and they show that the equity is only 13000. But we only owe 50,000 and the house is worth 120,000. I feel I'm going to lose my share of it because my divorce papers DO Not read or say the right thing. Something my attorney should have caught and made right at arbitration and she should have found the 80,000 he had withdrew out of his 401k after I left him in January. She was told my sons right birthday several times and it's still wrong on my final papers and I could go on and on.,, If you want an attorney who is just there and does pretty much nothing this is your attorney, she gets nothing done and doesn't help other than being there. She is useless, She is nice but not good at being an attorney. Good luck if you hire her you're going to need it.
