No integrity

This attorney is nasty. Not in a way that is helpful or beneficial but in a way that lacks professionalism and integrity. She really takes advantage of people who want to do the most but she is not successful in court. She bleeds you dry and encourages retaliation and threats based on made up narrati...ves. She is not professional or truthful. High conflict in every exchange. This is damaging to everyone involved.

Relentless pursuit for my legal rights

I first met Yasmeen when I was trying to represent myself Pro-Se and I saw her representing another client in ex-parte court. As soon as I listened to her representing her client, I was so impressed I begged her to please let me hire her and I gave up trying to represent myself (which had been a los...ing battle). After working with two other lawyers at the beginning of my divorce, I knew that Yasmeen had what it takes to get me across the finish line in my DV - divorce with kids. It has been a long exhausting four years, but Yasmeen has always had great advice along the way and worth every dollar I paid her. Things always turned out better than expected when I did whatever Yasmeen told me to do. The most impressive thing about Yasmeen is her professionalism and attention to detail. Yasmeen didn't let anything opposing council tried to slip past her or the judge. Her calm, assertive, confidence was so reassuring, it was like having a team of lawyers on my side. I didn't have to settle or give up on any of my rights. Yasmeen made sure that in the end, the outcome was fair to the full extent of the law (she made sure I won and got everything I asked for, as much as anything can be considered winning in this kind of situation) . I got what was legally and finanically due to me which will set me and my children up for a healthy future where we can heal and thrive. My friends and family are so grateful and impressed with Yasmeen, they nicknamed her Yazzle Dazzle.

Happy returning client

I hired Ms. Yasmeen back in 2022 for a child abduction/divorce case, which went smoothly. I had heard about Abdullah Law Firm within the Arab community in Seattle, and everyone had great things to say about Ms. Yasmeen, so I decided to have a consultation and ultimately sought her help with my matter.... Ms. Yasmeen is highly knowledgeable in divorce cases, Hague Convention programs, custody, and other civil/family matters. In short, she successfully helped me get my child back from overseas. I hired Ms. Yasmeen again in 2024-2025 for a custody battle, asset division, and domestic violence case, which we won as well! She is very familiar with parenting plans, restraining orders, and everything related to divorce and child-related matters. Ms. Yasmeen speaks very well in court in front of judges and commissioners. She and her team are always on top of everything and respond promptly. Her hourly rate is very reasonable compared to other law firms. Although I didn’t qualify for the sliding scale, she does offer that option if you are financially unstable. I’m extremely happy with the outcomes of both of my cases, and I would highly encourage anyone going through a hardship to seek her assistance. I wish the best for everyone, and I thank the entire Abdullah Law Firm staff for their support and hard work!

The only attorney you need if you want to win in court.

I cannot recommend Yasmeen highly enough. After my previous attorney dropped me right before a major deadline, I was left scrambling and stressed. That’s when Yasmeen stepped in and completely turned my case around. From day one, she was professional, responsive, and genuinely cared about my situatio...n. Her attention to detail was evident in every court document and motion she prepared—everything was well-written, well-articulated, and strategically crafted. She never missed a deadline, she was always on time for court deadlines and court appearances, and made me feel like my case was a priority, never pushing it aside for others. Thanks to her expertise, dedication, and sharp legal strategy, I achieved an outcome far better than I had expected. If you need an attorney who truly fights for you, keeps you informed, and delivers exceptional results, Yasmeen is the one to call. I am beyond grateful for her help and highly recommend her to anyone in need of strong legal representation in sensitive and challenging family matters. Yasmeen and team took the stress out of my life and gave my family peace and stability. We are stronger as a result of her diligence and dedication to my case.

Highly Recommend Yasmeen Abdullah!

Yasmeen and her friendly and knowledgeable staff dedicated their time in reviewing, understanding and explaining my case as to not let anything slip through then cracks. I have had two previous attorneys for the same case, dealing with a highly contentious opposing party and Yasmeen was able to effi...ciently and effectively negotiate on my behalf to get me results that were beyond my expectations and truly impressive. Thanks to Yasmeen for all her hard work and expertise, my case was resolved successfully. I am incredibly grateful for the outstanding and professional service that I received. Yasmeen is competent, confident and experienced in handling cases that have many layers and it shows when she is in front of a Judge/Commissioner/Arbitrator. She took the stress and worry from my shoulders and can do the same for you. I would not hesitate to consult with and hire Yasmeen Abdullah.
