Highly recommend Barbara Yockey

Barbara is by far the best Laywer. She is a strong minded, passionate women who gets things done in timely manner. She is straight to point. I can tell working with her she truly has passion for her work and truly enjoys to help people in need of legal assistance. She was my voice in a horrible situa...tion and represented me with with such ease. I think passion is what makes her the best Laywer. I would certainly say Barbara cares about the clients she represents. Barbara, I noticed is extremely intelligent and she can assess difficult situations quickly. Barbara provides the upmost best guidance for people not familiar with law. I would highly recommend Barbara Yockey. If your looking for the best, hire Barbara. I’m so thankful to have worked with her and to have met her by chance. Words can’t explain. She is the best!

Strongly recommend Barb!

Barb proved to be so extremely knowledgeable as our attorney. We had a situation that she addressed on our behalf that resulted in correcting the local Clerks Office on their process (their process was incorrect based law) and we had a favorable outcome. She is professional, timely, returns calls..., fair on her rates and a all round super nice person. Strongly recommend.
