I endorse this lawyer. Yvonne is a tireless worker for her clients. I had the pleasure of working with her at a firm in the past and saw up close her intelligence and attention to detail in advocacy of her clients. She is an expert on coverage issues, among several other legal subjects. She embodies what a true professional should be.

I endorse this lawyer's work.

Philip Fowler, Family Attorney on Jul 11, 2007
Relationship: Worked together on matter

I endorse this lawyer's work. Yvonne and I worked for months traveling the country on a catastrophic trucking injury case. She represented a co-defendant in the case. She was a tough, hard-nosed litigator who represented her client well. But through it all, she remained pleasant, fair and personable. She was at all times the consumate professional. If I needed a lawyer, I would hire her.
