Terrible Attorney

Yvette Ansel is beyond incompetent. Men, go elsewhere. Yvette wrecked my case in favor of the ex-wife. She was either incompetent or colluding with opposing counsel. I wouldn't recommend her to fix a speeding ticket yet any case of importance. I have talked to six other attorneys informing m...e how ineffective and that she could have easily won but ignored motive and factual evidence.

Not just an aggressive, skilled attorney, but also a human with a heart.

Just ending a nearly 2 year custody and child support hearing that included one special action appeal. I hired Yvette as an appeals attorney. I knew I needed a female, and I knew I needed someone strong. I watched her youtube litigation at least 5 times before calling her (it is on her website). Alth...ough Yvette came late to the game, she was very quick to learn the details of my case. Yvette didn't let me get bullied by my exes attorney the way my 1st attorney would. After A LOT of thought, (it's hard to start over with a new attorney, but can also be detrimental if you don't) I decided to let my 1st attorney go and continue to use Yvette for the Superior court custody case as well. My first attorney rarely answered calls and when he did, we had to talk over a screaming baby/toddler. He would only answer emails after 11 pm (true story) and to be honest, he just wasn't that good. The reason I am writing this review is bc Yvette ALWAYS made herself available. ALWAYS. I needed assistance twice after hours. Once involved speaking with the police at 10 pm and Yvette responded right away. The other thing I love about Yvette is spending time to "prep" me before court. She would go over her questions and potential questions from the other side. She also knew when I'd come close to the breaking point and say something as simple as "it's ok. take a rest, call me tomorrow" You're going to spend a lot of money on an attorney. Make sure to obtain one that is there when you need them... I would one million percent recommend Yvette as a family or appellate attorney.

Life Changer

Yvette handled my child custody situation. Rather than just the cookie cutter process she got me and my ex and in front of a court appointed evaluator who was able to diagnose my ex's issues as it pertains to parenting and make a physiological based suggestion to the court. This really helped in givi...ng me the additional custody I felt was needed at the time. Yvette was really great throughout the whole process. Yvette cares about her customers but is tough in the court room and is a true expert in her craft. She made a huge difference in my life and more importantly my child's. I appreciate what she did for me and strongly recommend her to anyone who needs a divorce / family attorney.

Family law - making a huge difference

Yvett and her firm are amazing! First of all they care about their clients, truly care and it's shows in how they handled my family needs. They are on top of things in every aspect of detail such to extent of pointing out things that the opposing side does incorrectly hence putting us in a better po...sition with the court. She is commanding in court with a respectful demeanor that gets results desired. Strong negotiator, thorough with detail and support backup needed to get the job done. Takes no nonsense from opposing side and holds them accoutable. Definitely want her on your side. Highly Recomend.

Awful and unresponsive

Made mistake hiring Ms. Ansel, she was never available to answer questions and her work product always contained factual errors. Her staff was never able to answer my questions.
