A Viper in the Courtroom

Yodit Tewolde is absolutely amazing, a God sent. I recently moved to Texas and what was supposed to be a new beginning for me and my family, unfortunately turned into a nightmare. My ex-wife attacked me, I called 911 and waited for the police. Once they got there and saw my race and size; without ...an interview or written statement I was given the citation for Family Violence. Yodit came highly recommended from my Divorce attorney. After meeting her, I knew instantly she would be the one to bring out the truth. On the day of trial, Yodit's attention to detail, trial preparation, and cross examination was like watching Perry Mason, Matlock, and Olivia Pope all in one body!! The Prosecutor invoking the “Brady Rule” dismissed the charges; my ex-wife perjured herself under cross examination. Do not look any further, your just wasting your time, contact her, you will not be disappointed!!!

Great Legal Representation

Yodit's dedication to putting forth the time and effort to best represent her clients sets her apart from the pack. Whereas some firms can make you feel like just another case file laying on a desk, Yodit takes the time to fully understand all aspects of your case. Her attention to detail is truly ...exceptional. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of solid and thorough legal representation within her areas of expertise.

Yodit Cares!

I hired Yodit for representation on a marijuana case in Dallas. Throughout the entire process, from consultation to the court room, Yodit was thorough in her evaluation of all the facts in the case and made sure I was aware of any and all options I had. We met a couple of times before each court appe...arance, and Yodit always came prepared with material to review. In the end, Yodit was able to get the charge dropped to lesser charge that I am now able to expunge from my record, which is ever-so-important for applying for a job. Yodit really has a way of making you feel secure and confident in working with her. I highly recommend her!

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
