This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Mr Yanta is a very professional attorney

I contacted Virgil Yanta after my family and I were involved in a vehicle accident back in late 2016. The qualities I look for in an attorney are intelligence, professionalism, very knowledgeable, humane, and helpful. Mr. Virgil Yanta possessed each of these qualities. He was very supported and al...ways offered helpful, constructive advice. Mr. Yanta consulted and supported us every step of the way!

The best I have seen

I have used Virgil Yanta for several legal matters one was as simple as getting a old ticket that had turned into a warrant dismissed, And is now currently working on a personal injury matter. His attention to detail is impeccable and the way he works a court room is unmatched. He is very compassi...onate and an all-around great guy. I will continue to use him every chance I get

Avvo Rating

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.
