Grandparent’s rights consultation

I had the pleasure of consulting with Bettina Yanez this morning regarding a very difficult situation in our family. She is obviously well-versed in this area of family law. The information and guidance that she provided will be invaluable as I take the next steps. My impression of Bettina is that s...he is an expert in her field who is determined to give her clients the best possible representation. Her demeanor is warm and reassuring. If it was possible to file my case in Orange County, I would not hesitate to hire Bettina Yanez to represent me.

Excellent family law attorney

Hiring a divorce attorney for your family law matters is not always easy. Often times we hear horror stories about hiring divorce attorneys that do not know what they are doing. When I first met attorney Yanez I knew she was the right family law attorney for me. Her honest answers are greatly appreci...ated. She does not sugar coat it, she tells it like it is. If you are thinking of a divorce or require an attorney for a family law case, consider calling attorney Yanez.

Never Trust this office

I had made an appointment two weeks prior since Bettina was out of the office, I called one and a half hour prior to my appointment to confirm since I had a 30 mile drive and I had to leave my business, they confirmed the appointment and I drove over, I got there, they had me fill out a form, 5 minut...es later, another attorney came out greeted me and told me that Battina was not available today she was in court.... I fumed of course because this was total disrespect to clients time, I am not sure what makes doctors and attorneys think that their time is more valuable than clients, on my way back, Battina called me to apologize stating that her office screws up sometimes and they should have known better...well if an attorney relies on such unreliable staff, it makes me wonder what other mistakes this staff would make when submitting important documents to the court which can make or break your case and then she would blame it on the staff and it becomes okay. Obviously this attorney is not hands on and office staff is totally unreliable. I had my hopes up for hiring this attorney after reading reviews, but I was extremely disappointed, this is certainly not someone I would trust with a complicated and extremely serious divorce.

Ms. S.N., I have had an opportunity to read your review on the experience you had with my firm and I apologize that you left frustrated. Customer satisfaction is of utmost importance to me. As you stated in your review, I did attempt to reach out to you to address your concerns. My office did schedule you an appointment, which they believed would not conflict with my Court Call this morning. Unfortunately, my hearing was delayed this morning, and that had a direct impact on my ability to meet with you as scheduled. I was in contact with my office this morning, but when you called at earlier in the morning to confirm, I had not yet known the true extent of my delay. When you arrived, per my normal office procedures, a client intake sheet was presented to you. You filled the sheet out and after approximately 5 minutes, one of my associates came out to greet you and attempted to explain the scheduling conflict that I unexpectedly encountered. He did not have an opportunity to say much prior to you leaving my office. I understand that you wanted to specifically meet with me, and that was not able to occur. I did have two other attorneys in the office who could have given you a free consultation, but you left prior to my associate having the chance to give you that option. I do my best to keep my commitments, but unfortunately, at times, unexpected delays do arise. My office did not intend to disrespect you or waste your time. My staff is an integral part of my business and they keep this office running when I am away. In speaking with you over the phone after you left, I in no way intended to put this on my staff. I take responsibility for your dissatisfaction. Whether it be myself, my staff, or an unexpected delay with a court appearance, I take responsibility even though I had no control over the delay in court. I am not trying to make excuses; I am just trying to explain to you what happened. That being said, I wanted to take the time to address your concerns. Should you wish to discuss anything further, please give me a call.

Very helpful, and understanding

Bettina is a very knowledgeable Orange County based Lawyer. She was very helpful in the matters of family law, and termination of parental rights. She helped ease many of my concerns with my case. She is very compassionate, and understanding. I would highly recommend Bettina for any of your Family L...aw concerns.
