Posted by anonymous | July 17, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Intelligent, Competent, Highly Educated Attorney

After discovering my wife’s affair, she claimed domestic violence and got a temporary retraining order against me in an attempt to control the narrative and get the upper hand in a divorce. I was initially in shock. As I began to understand the gravity of the situation, I needed someone that could z...ealously defend me. I asked friends and family but also read some impressive online reviews about Negin Yamini. I am so fortunate to have found super lawyer, Negin Yamini. Negin patiently listened to me and offered salient suggestions at our very first meeting and it was clear from the beginning that she was the perfect attorney for my situation. Through out the process of gathering my evidence for court, Negin was available and attentive to my case. On the court date, Negin came well prepared with a great tactical approach. I believe it was Negin’s confident & collected demeanor that incentivized my wife’s attorney to broach a settlement arrangement. After more than an hour, as they called our names to go into court, a last minute deal was struck that avoided the risk of having domestic violence on my permanent record. Although we were ready to fight for Justice, the more practical and logical settlement avoided any risk. I would highly recommend Negin to anyone facing anything similar to my situation or anything that has criminal implications. If you’re looking for an Intelligent, competent, highly educated attorney that will dedicate herself to zealously fight on your behalf to the very best of her ability, then you should at least consider retaining the services of Negin Yamini. You won’t be disappointed. Thank You Negin!

Best Lawyer Ever!!

I was locked up for almost 3 months being represented by a good for nothing lawyer that was doing not a single thing for my case, just wasting our time and money. He never came to see or speak to me to learn anything about my case, he was lost. When Negin Yamini took my case, instantly I felt the dif...ference. She came to see me the very next day. She was very helpful and committed during my case. She went far and beyond, always made me feel secure in our decision making. She took the time to get to know me and what I was going thru personally. I felt blessed having her by my side. I highly recommend her if you are in need of any representation.

Simply Spectacular!

Point: cared and did a great job Throughout my case, Ms. Negin Yamini demonstrated care while doing an outstanding job. When I first came to her, my future looked dire: prosecutors wanted jail time and registration. Yamini's dedication changed the outcome of the case, and I avoided both those potent...ial penalties. Her actions always proved my doubts wrong. Her genuineness and tenacity are greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend her as a defense lawyer.

Grateful for her strong and economical support

Ms. Yamini was my attorney for about 18 months. She represented me effectively and thoroughly. From the first time we met, she spared no effort in demonstrating her commitment to serving my needs. She listened patiently and uncritically to what I and others had to say. She explored various angles... of the case in order to determine a best approach and best method. She was always available when I needed to talk to her. Sure, she might not be able to answer at the moment, but then she'd call me back when she could. She recommended several measures I could take to improve my case. I followed every instruction and, when we were done, she said my adherence played a big role in the positive outcome of my case. Those measures were her idea. And she's the one who knew how to parlay them to the greatest advantage. I recommend her strongly to anybody else in similar need.

True Passion for help

if it is so difficult for a lawyer to defend your case, can you imagine having to fix another lawyer mistake? Very recently Ms. Negin won my case about having a record with immigration consequences due to another lawyer improper job to assist in that matter. Since law has been changing, sometimes... our fears and insecurities about life take over us and make us think no one can help us. in that moment l met this wonderful and smart woman who inspire me peace and security but, most of all, she inspired me hope. Since last year she has been fighting for my case and with determination, passion and confident character she made it happen. she won my case!. I cried on emotion. I can finally feel relieved, and believe that not all lawyers want your money and don't care about you because they get paid anyways. Ms. Negin is a wonderful lawyer and person, someone genuine who won't trick you but instead do the real talk. if you feel lost and hopeless go with her. that hope l talked about you will feel it too. Forever Thankful J.A
