Bad Actor

Atty Acts like she is concerned about you but really isn’t she waived several of my court appearances without my permission and abandoned me when the judge clearly made a mistake on my case then when my family tried to contact her about she lied to them saying she would come see me but never did refu...sed to answer my calls this lady cares absolutely nothing about her clients and will leave you high and dry I did 90 days in jail and she could have changed that but refused to get involved because she was already paid for her services

Yvette Barrett fought for me!

Attorney Yvette Barrett represented for federal felony charges. She fought for my rights from start to finish. She really cared about me.
