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.

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.

Best attorney ever!

Yasmeen saved my family, I would recommend her to anyone! I was involved in a high conflict family law/custody case for several years and I hired Yasmeen after my first attorney did nothing to defend me or keep my kids in a safe situation. I had an immediate sense of trust and relief when I met h...er, something I did not have with any of the other attorneys I consulted. Yasmeen took over my case with grace and skill and immediately found several things my original attorney had dropped the ball on. She was able to overcome my ex's nasty and aggressive attorney in a tactful, courteous manner. Yasmeen is very professional, knows the law very well, and knows how to effectively communicate and advocate for your needs and concerns. Her strategies at handling situations are well thought out and extremely effective. She is very detailed, on top of deadlines, communicates well with opposing attorneys, and allows you to be as involved as you want to be with your case. Yasmeen understands that family law cases are very emotional and draining and she is amazing at navigating your needs in the midst of a legal crisis. Yasmeen genuinely wants to help people and she truly cares about your situation and well being. She will tell you if what you want to do is worth your time and money, a rare quality in attorneys these days. Every bit of legal advice she gave me was spot on. Every.single.time. I can not say enough good things about her, or her amazing assistant Erin. Erin has a calmness about her and she knows exactly what to do to help you, and Yasmeen. These two ladies are the best team ever and are true heroes to me. Because of the hard work of these two ladies I had a very favorable outcome to my case. I will never waste my time with another attorney ever again. I will definitely use Yasmeen if I have any future legal needs. Thank you Yasmeen!!!

Good work

I hired Yasmeen to deal with a divorce case. She was very understanding and very patient as I am not so fluent in English. If i I had any questions her assistant would email me back within 48 hours. She handled the case very well and understood from where I was coming from. Overall, very good lawyer ...at a very good price. She is really helpful if you are a low income family or individual.

How Yasmeen Took On a Sacred Cow...and won!

When my rights were violated by people whose job was to protect me, my entire world fell to pieces. I suffered in silence for two years. On the verge of becoming an adult, I decided I wanted justice for what had happened to me. I called several well-known and respected law firms in the area. Not one ...returned my calls. When I was on the verge of giving up, I received a call back from Abdullah Law Firm and Yasmeen agreed to a meeting. Within the first two meetings, I knew I was in good hands. A calming, yet secure presence, Yasmeen worked closely with me to ensure that I was taken care of, treated courteously, and above all, let me know I deserved recognition for the wrongs committed against me. From that point on, a partnership and strong bond was formed for the next three years. The legal process can be grueling. It can be traumatic and deeply unsettling. The mere conjuring of past traumas is enough to make many victims have second thoughts about filing a lawsuit. Yasmeen knows this. Here, she is more than an attorney; she is someone who cares very much about her clients. The amount of trust that she engenders by her integrity and behavior is valuable above all else. But while she is sweet, she is no pushover. Abdullah’s knowledge of the law is superb. She misses nothing. With her, no aspect of my case or life was overlooked, and dots I could not connect she connected effortlessly. She puts the pieces together. This is important. It was almost eerie how well she knew my case; almost as if she’d herself been there with me throughout my journey. Yasmeen is a fighter. She’ll fight for you. Without Abdullah Law Firm, I would still be wandering in the darkness searching for answers. If you wanted compensation, closure, or both, call Abdullah Law Firm.
