Dedicated, Intelligent Lawyer with a Strong Work Ethic

After making several calls and reaching out to several high profiled Law firms and attorney's to take upon my case, I received negative feedback that they would be unable to take my case because there not enough evidence. One law firm took my case, but wasted months only to tell me that she did not h...ave the time to help me, but by faith, I reached out to an attorney who was a God send. She listened and immediately told me she would take my case. She made me feel confident as I heard the confidence in her and this is the position she held throughout the case. I would highly recommend retaining Yvonne Everett as your attorney. She is the best attorney I have ever worked with. I came to meet with Yvonne Everett over a sexual harassment case and even when some things felt a little uncomfortable to talk about she was understanding and made me feel very comfortable communicating with her. Even though she had other clients I was never neglected and always felt like I was a priority. She always kept me in the loop with everything that was going on. Anytime I had a question she was more then happy to answer it and always returned my phone calls in a timely matter. If you're looking for the best attorney look no further.

Very Helpful!!!!

I feel very lucky to have gotten Yifan's services. She answered every employment question I had and I felt fully supported to make hard life altering decisions through my place of employment. I knew that I was covered with her advice. Thank you so much Yifan!!! You are the best! Super available, su...per accessible. Can't ask for much more.

A first-rate attorney, whom I would go with again...

I recently had the pleasure (and privilege) of working with Ms. Everett in preparing an age discrimination suit in which I was the victim. Over the years I have had the pleasure of working with several superb attorneys, and Yifan Everett, despite being relatively new to this particular practice area,... was everything I could have hoped for: extremely knowledgeable, quick, sensitive, ethical and on my side. She has a great sense of humor. She would be my first choice should I ever be forced into such a position again. By the way, we settled my case against a large university through non-binding mediation very fairly without actually having to file suit. This was accomplished through her outstanding preparation of my case. My highest recommendation.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I get many inquiries about employment law violations and I try to pass them to other employment lawyer friends. Most of them are not interested because these case involve individual cases where the recovery might not have the financial incentive. Yifan helped me with these inquiries because she understands that people in our communities need to be represented to have a voice against unscrupulous employers and restore their rights as employees. Yifan is an asset because she speaks the language of these disenfranchised employees and have the patience to walk them through complicated labor law issues. We need more lawyers like Yifan in the Chinese community. Therefore, I endorse Yifan!"
