Great attorney

After almost a whole year with out seeing my sin due to his mother keeping him from me, I contacted Sara Yunus, from the very beginning she was straight forward and was always very realistic, she told me what my chances were, helped me prepare everything, and was extremely professional, she cared abo...ut my case, was always available to aid me, and answer any questions or concerns I had. This firm is expensive, but you are paying for quality and it is worth every cent. I was able to get some physical custody which included overnights, holidays and vacation time, and was also granted joint legal custody. I started with nothing, and Sara was able to give me my son back. I highly recommend her.

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.
