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!

Highest Integrity Legal Warrior

I went through a HORRIFIC 2+ year long high-conflict divorce from a narcissistic man who verbally and physically abused me in front of our young child. Yasmeen was my 3rd lawyer and I am thankful to God every day that I finally found her. I could tell right away that she is a person of the highest in...tegrity and retains expert knowledge of the legal process. Beyond those stunning traits, emotionally, she was my rock as she guided me through the incredibly traumatic process of extricating myself from my toxic marriage and fighting for custody of my child. My ex and his low-vibrating energy monster of a lawyer did everything in their power to break me: Manipulation, lying, defamation, disregarding court orders, twisting the truth, and hiring "expert" witnesses to try to discredit and demonize me. Yasmeen remained optimistic and unshaken, having full confidence every time I spoke to her that we would win. She encouraged me not to give up, even though I wanted to so badly so many times as this process nearly broke me as a person. But, in the end, Yasmeen came through for me and my child, and we won at trial in a big way. I can't say that I'll ever feel fully vindicated after what my ex put me through, but at least my child has me as the primary parent with full decision making, safe and supported, which makes the whole thing worth it.

LOOK NO FURTHER SHE IS THE BEST LAWYER!

Yasmeen was my literal life saver, I had been going through a brutal separation with my husband for years and as a single mother with no job nor income it was so difficult to find decent representation. lots of lawyers who I had consulted never gave me the reassurance I needed and asked for way too m...uch money upfront. I tried to represent my self for most of it until Yasmeen was recommended by multiple people I decided to give the firm a call and instantly within minutes of the first consultation I knew I found " the one". She was so understanding and calm and had mentioned things that never even crossed my mind. I hired Yasmeen instantly and it was the best decision for my family. She fought for me with so much passion and knew her laws inside out she was ready for every argument with backups and a plan B just in case, she is very attentive into detail and brutally organized and the most important she is a very honest and truthful person. I finally felt that relief that this woman was fighting just as hard as I was for myself if not harder. We won the case beautifully and I got much more that I even had sought out and I am FOREVER grateful for her and her wonderful team. If you are in need of a lawyer I HIGHLY recommend Yasmeen and her team over at the Abdullah Law firm, such amazing people that actually care for you and will fight for you.

Lawyer of the greatest integrity, knowledge, and compassion

When I was in an emotionally abusive relationship with a toxic person whom I was afraid of, I didn’t know how to get out or where to start. I reached out to Yasmeen who has extensive experiences in situations like mine. She understood what I was going through, and I felt immediate connection with her... so I hired her to handle my case. She helped me how to communicate with my ex who was extremely manipulative. Throughout the process, she and her team were attentive and answered all my questions promptly. I was emotionally drained and scared of my ex, but Yasmeen gave me courage to keep going what I wanted to do for me and my child. When we were preparing the parenting plan and child support, she was straightforward, transparent, and concise so I understood what was going on every step. I felt that she was not just a lawyer to me, but also an emotional support. My partner and my relationship as parents are slowly but getting better because we are trying to keep our child’s best interest in our minds. She truly cared about me and my child. If you are looking for a lawyer who is knowledgeable, fair, and compassionate, contact Yasmeen.
