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.

When I hired this firm I was in the middle of a long and nasty divorce. My self-employed ex wasn't paying child support and I had minimal income. Ms. Yanez allowed me to make payments and she and her associates represented me powerfully, compassionately, ethically. I cannot say enough wonderful thi...ngs about this firm. I never felt as if I wasn't a 'big retainer client'. Her staff returns calls promptly and are very supportive, actually cheering for me the day I went to her office to pick up my first child support payment!

Betina is hands down the best family attorney in Orange County! I have hired 2 other attorney's in Orange County in the past and Betina was the first attorney that was not a push over and was all about me and understanding my needs. Her paralegals have always been there for me when I have had questio...ns or need answers. I was amazed with her knowledge her confidence in court that made me feel so much at ease and relaxed when I was in the court room in front of the judge. If I had to rate Betina 1-10 with her Law Firm, prepping my case for court and her performance in court I would have to give her a 10. Overall she is an amazing attorney with a seasoned and reliable staff.

Bettina Yanez is an excellent lawyer AND a wonderful person. Her and her staff made sure I was always kept abreast of everything that was going on with my case and eased my mind when I had concerns or pressing questions. She was especially mindful of my children's welfare and really spoke out to get ...them the best life. I would highly recommend her for any family law matters!
