Yolanda Riley

I am beyond grateful for Yolanda’s representation. She guided me through an incredibly stressful and emotional case with compassion, clarity, and unwavering dedication. Thanks to her hard work, I was able to secure the ruling I needed to protect my child and move forward with peace of mind. Throug...hout the entire process, she communicated clearly, explained every step, and made sure I always understood my options. I never felt alone or confused — she was steady, prepared, and absolutely committed to achieving the best possible outcome. Yolanda is not only an exceptional attorney but also a genuinely caring person. I could not have asked for better representation. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs a strong, knowledgeable, and trustworthy advocate.

I can give praise in under 4000 words, Challenge accepted ! I have been going through some issues in court regarding custody. I have had the court give me incorrect court dates/times, I have been attacked for things that were not relevant to my case and I have been all around mistreated. Yolan...da was recommended to me and I am happy she was. She came into the picture and I KNOW FOR A FACT, had it not been for her, I would be in a terrible situation right now. She FOUGHT for me when no one else would. She didnt make me just agree with everything, like my last attorney, but she fought to make sure anything I asked for (that was reasonable) was heard and requested. She is VERY detailed and straight to the point. We have to remember, we hired her because SHE is the professional, not us. She expects honestly, promptness and a willingness to listen and present yourself appropriately. She may seem "scary" to some but it is only because she is passionate. She instilled fear and respect in me all at the same time BUT IT WAS FOR A GOOD REASON! We hire her to talk FOR US. When we are unwilling to listen, we place ourselves, her and whatever we are fighting for in jeopardy. She truly cares about what she does. I know this because I had a lawyer that I THOUGHT had my best interest at heart one point but after working with her, I know he didnt. We go into our own cases thinking we know it all and know whats best. But SHE KNOWS the legal way to get it done and we may not. She gives you a realistic perspective on your case, the evidence and what needs to be done. Just because someone seems head strong and determined (like Yolanda) that does not make them a "mean" person. It makes her DEDICATED! I will forever thank her for what she has done for me. Thanks to her, I am now studying law to help change lives in the way she does. It will LITERALLY be my honor to work with or under her. She is very well educated and she is honest. She tells it like it is and she doesnt give false promises in hopes of "getting paid" like other attorneys. She has changed my life. My ONLY regret with working with her is that I did not come to her sooner. Not once in the past 6 years have a felt like someone listened to me, cared about me or cared about my child within the court system until SHE stepped in the picture. I am pretty sure I will be back to add more lol. But I appreciate her and all she has done for me. If you want someone who will FIGHT for you, knows the law, wont back down to court room bullies (as I call them), knows the law and will prepare YOU with information for what to do and expect, then you NEED Yolanda. Trust me. P.S. Even AFTER our case, she reached out to me to give me advice on what to do when I will be ready to go back for more. I would clone her if I could. So I could just have her all to myself. But that wouldnt be fair to the world. The people in this county need her. We need MORE of her actually. Hence me being in school myself now to follow in her foot steps. THANK YOU AGAIN YOLANDA AND I WISH I COULD HAVE YOU IN COURT WITH ME NEXT YEAR WHEN I GO BACK !!!!!! You meant the world to me and I was proud to call you my attorney. I will always and forever appreciate what you did for me.

I contacted Attorney Riley regarding cleaning up my background from 20 plus years ago. Attorney Riley was very informative, respectful, professional at all times. When we first met she was clear as to what her expectations were from me as a client and what I could expect from her as my Attorney. ... She handled my cases with care and within less than 6 months her diligence in filing motions and positions to have my records sealed/expunged was complete. She represented myself and her skill very well. Thank you Attorney Riley, you ROCK!!!!!

I Mary McCormick was a client of attorney Yolanda Riley she had no compassion nor understanding for me. I could not ask her a question I just had to do what she told me to do and she was helping me get my criminal record expunged or sealed she had a terrible disposition. She would cut me off if I was... trying to say something.. Every conversation we had it was rushed She says that she's all about helping a person get their life back and that's not true. I told her I had a job interview she did not believe it. I'm not saying she's a bad attorney from what I seen she was a good attorney she had no people skills who wants a lawyer that never has time to hear your side of anything the lady was just rude for no reason at all.

I love how Yolanda handles her business she is straight forward and gets straight to the point no playing around. She explained what she can do and what she can't do to help your case in any way shape or form. Once the case is started she keeps you informed on what's going on after the case is closed... she let's you no how the case turned out. Before she let's you go about your life she makes sure that there is nothing else she could help you with even letting you no about resources you never knew existed. All around Yolanda Riley is a excellent person to have represent your case.
