Noura Yunker Bad Lawyer

NOURA YUNKER AVVO REVIEW. I strongly do NOT recommend you hire Noura Yunker A. Ms. Yunker hid from us the fact she had told clients that she suffers from sever different mental problems that stops her from performing her legal services. Her mental problems are revealed in her WA State ...Discipline Stipulation which she also hid from us. (She was suspended from practicing law by WA Supreme Court). B. Ms. Yunker’s actions were bizarre and erratic at best in regards to our personal injury case: (1). Ms. Yunker refused to file motions that she herself recommended, (2) Ms. Yunker regularly violated our fee agreement and threatened to abandon our case if we insisted she comply. (3) Ms. Yunker told us because a shooting occurred at her house she had to abandon our case. (4) Ms. Yunker wanted to rent one of our bedrooms as a law office and threatened to abandon our case if we did not provide it. (5) Ms. Yunker demanded we FedX documents to her, then she would forget that she received them. (6) Ms. Yunker told us she had to abandon our case because her Father was Ill and she had to move back to Seattle. (7). Ms. Yunker told us she had too many cases and had to get rid of them all so she could work for her Husband. (8). Ms. Yunker refused to give us monthly statements, case outlines or time lines like she promised (9) In open court when the Judge limited her argument time like he did everyone else she threw up her hands and howled “I cannot continue!” Before you even think about hiring Ms. Yunker I strongly suggest you read her WA Supreme Court Discipline Stipulation - as what is in there is precisely what YOU are going to get if you hire her.

Diana, I understand the anger and frustration that you and Douglas, who reviewed me below, are experiencing after having made the decisions you made. However, you attribute words and motives to me that I never said or had. First, please remember that you, your husband Douglas, and I discussed my disciplinary history in detail before you hired me the first time, in 2015. It is a matter of public record, and the two of you did your homework and found it online before we met. It cannot be hidden. I have never tried to hide it. As to the rest of your review, most of my interactions were with your husband, Douglas, and you were not on the phone or on speakerphone during those conversations, so I know you received some information second-hand. As you no doubt are aware, Douglas has misunderstood my instructions and advice on many, many occasions, which is one of the reasons we ultimately could not agree on how to manage your case. I could expect a wide difference in opinion between Douglas and me on what transpired, but I am surprised at you. Each of the 9 points you list above are false for varying reasons; some are inaccurate and some are made of whole cloth. You were not present in court on the day you reference in point 9, and you have no knowledge of what went on during that hearing. I understand Douglas has filed a grievance against me, and I expect to establish the true facts with the many email communications that he and I will both provide. I wish you both well. -Noura

Personal injury

Noura has been an absolute key in keeping me from getting ran over or bullied by a department store that cost my career, firm & clear in what is truly been a challenge for me. Advocates for not only myself but my family's well being. Even the adjusters enjoy working with her. Business minded but very... empathetic & listner.

Very helpful and knowledgeable

Noura was very helpful over the phone. I will be hiring her to handle my case. I can't wait to start the process. I meet with her in a few days. Looking forward to it.

Experience

Rating:  5.1 (Average)

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2013.

Suspension issued in WA, 2013

updated on 06/22/2017

This means the attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a period of time. The attorney typically returns to practicing law when the suspension expires.

Noura’s comment:

“2010 case; 2013 discipline. My client did not appear for trial. Fortunately, the claims against him were dismissed. Unfortunately, so were his counterclaims. Surviving the disciplinary process made me a wiser and better lawyer.”
