About Yolanda

I thoroughly enjoy working with my clients.  My goal is to help my clients solve their family law matters in a respectful and dignified way. 

I have been a solo practitioner for 6 years.  Prior to that, I was a partner at the AV rated law firm of Kane Donley and Johnson, until the firm dissolved.

Volunteering in the community is also my passion.  I have the honor of serving as the President of the El Paso County Bar Association and was past President of the Family Law Section of the El Paso County Bar Association for 3 years.  I currently serve on the following Boards:  the Police Foundation of Colorado Springs, El Paso County Community Corrections Board, El Paso County Bar Foundation, Diversity Committee for School District 20 and am a co-coordinator for El Pomar's Black Advisory Council.

Review Yolanda Fennick

Highly recommend Yolanda Fennick

Posted by

When my daughter needed a divorce lawyer, I asked my attorney friends who the best divorce lawyer is in Colorado Springs. The answer came back – Yolanda Fennick. She fully lived up to the reputation. She fought hard for my daughter and was very skilled through every complicated step. She was a superb negotiator. It was also evident that other attorneys and judges have high respect for her. I strongly recommend her.

Best attorney when you can’t get your Child Support

Posted by

I had been battling for my child support since 2005. Once I hired Ms. Fennick my child support payments started 6 months later. She had to fight with Child Support Enforcement and Social Security. She was so thorough she even found out that CSE made several mistakes with my Order. Not only did she fix the mistakes she updated my Order. If not for Ms. Fennick I would not be receiving my child support due to the mistakes she uncovered and fixed.Thank you.

Carl Graham, Family Attorney on Aug 14, 2012
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

I have known Yolanda for several years, both as opposing counsel on several cases, and through bar and family law functions. I've always found her to be squared away, thorough, smart, and tenacious (especially when she is on the other side of a case). She is both a zealous advocate for her clients, and a polite & professional adversary. I consider her one of the better family law attorneys in Colorado Springs.

Yolanda is a wonderful person to work with. In addition to her skills, she is a comfort to clients dealing with divorce and custody matters.
