Honest Lawyer

I like Alden a lot because he doesn't lie to help you. He always lays out all options for your case. I tried to get him to give me a guarantee, but he wouldn't do it. But told he told me what could happen and you can tell he knew what he was talking about. When I went to court, whatever he said happe...ned. I thank him for his service and his approach. It's refreshing.

Good attitude

free consultation and reasonable. He gave me one consultation free and when i didn't have money to hire him, he gave me another consultation by for reasonable hire. Information helped me a lot in my case.

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.

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!

Great Consultation

Alden called me back within five minutes. He was very focused on what I told him, asked the right questions and gave me great advice on how I can strengthen my disability case. I can highly recommend him.

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.
