Yvonne is one of the best attorneys I have had the pleasure to work with on our litigation matters. She was always on top of the details of the cases and achieved excellent results for us.

Client Review
I was very pleased with the services Ms. O'Connor and her firm provided me and our company. She was very professional, meticulous, knowledgeable, and most importantly, always kept me involved and up to date on the case status. I would not hesitate to recommend her or her firm.

"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer's work."
"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. "
