This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Yolanda is a good lawyer.

Yolanda defended me in my case, she helped me avoid a jail sentencing. I really do appreciate her hard work with my case. She explained to the judge that my crime wasn't as severe as it seemed and the reasons to why in a very professional way. I was on probation at the time and had violated it unknow...ingly and she helped explain that to the judge. While on probation I was unable to leave my county and I did so unknowingly while taking someone to a doctors appointment, I wasn't even a mile out of the county. She helped my case get demised.

100% Satisfied

Yolanda Gauna went above and beyond all expectations throughout our whole acquaintance. She was prompt and informed every time we met. She was kind and listened to all the information being presented to her that was relevant to our case. I never once doubted that she would come through for us. On the... day of the big court hearing she was early, held counsel with us, and explained her plans. When things were difficult to understand she explained them in an accessible way. I never once felt judged by her during this time and felt like she was truly someone passionate about the law. She defended the case and had it dismissed. Our whole family was thrilled.
