Very knowledgeable and kind I paid for 1 hour meeting an came out longer for no extra charges. I have nothing but positive things to say about him because he tells it as is. Thank you sir.

Best Referral

Nobody could have handled my case better! I guess I'll start with a basic premise at the beginning of this review: there is almost never a good time to "need" an attorney. Thank goodness I found Alden!. As happy as I am with the outcome of my case, I would have written the same review if it didn't go... as well. I was able to get an appointment right away with Alden. He set up an appointment to meet with me within a few hours. He obviously was familiar with the different aspects of my situation and was able to answer all of my questions and lay out the entire court process and was able to provide an opinion as to what he thought the outcome would be. His fees are very reasonable. Alden would call me before my pre-trial conferences. All of my phone calls were returned in a timely manner. Looking back on my reckless driving case, I can't think of anything Alden could have done differently. I am incredibly happy with the outcome and would go back (hopefully won't ever need to) to Alden or recommend him to anyone that might ever need his services in a split second. If you find yourself in need of legal services, I urge you to talk to Alden Yako. I rarely leave reviews about someone's' services but felt compelled to recommend Alden.

No Stress

I hired alden for a traffic ticket. I don't know what he did but he got my citation amended which was great. He also did it before the hearing and I didn't even have to show up to anything. He is professional and delivered as promised. I called several times to ask questions as it was my first (and h...opefully last) time with having a traffic ticket, and he explained and answered everything. I would definitely recommend him for anyone who has any traffic ticket or any other concerns.

Straightforward as it gets

I am really thankful and I highly appreciate the help I have been provided by Yako Law. Alden is a very straightforward lawyer and doesn't waste time. He told exactly what's going to happen and what happens each step. I felt like I was speaking to a professor. I also appreciate Alden picking up his p...hone every time I called. By keeping me involved in my case I felt like a very important client.

THE MAN!

FIRST TIME I WOULD LEAVE A REVIEW FOR A LAWYER BUT ALDEN WAS GREAT. I THOUGHT ABOUT TAKING A CASE ON MY OWN BUT I DECIDED TO CALL YAKO LAW. ALDEN COULDN'T REPRESENT ME IN MY CASE BECAUSE OF SHORT NOTICE AND SCHEDULING ISSUES HE HAD. BUT I PAID FOR A CONSULTATION WITH HIM WHERE HE GAVE ME A LOT OF GOO...D INFO AND I WON MY CASE ON MY OWN. ALDEN, YOU'RE THE MAN!

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.
