Advocate for Parental Rights

I hired Todd as my attorney for a Child Custody case in 2022. The custody case concluded late last year and the Child Support Modification concluded earlier this year. At the start I had 4 years of documentation (texts, emails, videos, photos) for him to sift through and use to put a case toget...her with. From the very start, Todd was willing to answer any and all questions I had, which were many as well as ask tons of questions to get a better understanding of my specific case. There was never a time when he wasn’t available. He was able to help guide me through the processes I would need to understand how the court system works in Washington State. Prior to each hearing, Todd communicated extremely well whether it was through text, emails or phone calls and was able to effectively explain what was going to be happening and prepare me for what the potential outcomes were for each one. From start to finish, I felt that Todd was 100% on my side and fought to give me the best legal representation he could based on the evidence, facts and circumstances he was given to work with. Todd is absolutely an advocate for parental rights and he worked tirelessly to ensure that my rights as a parent were protected. While I may not have gotten the overall outcome I was seeking from the custody case, Todd was able to ensure that my concerns were addressed in front of the court and I went from a Parenting Plan that was completely not in my favor, to one that I feel allows me substantially more time with my child. If you are looking for an attorney with experience, patience, respect, is a good communicator, listens to your problems and offers honest logical solutions based on fact, extremely knowledgeable in child custody law and is willing to be patient with you as a client, then Todd and the entire Yelish, Barker and Cunningham Law Firm is where you need to be seeking representation.

Recommendation for Yelish Law

I highly recommend the services of Yelish Law to anyone going through a divorce, especially one with custody issues. I interviewed a few lawyers before being referred to Yelish. Todd was the first lawyer who was willing to fight for what I wanted. It's unrealistic to go into a divorce thinking you wi...ll get everything you want. But Todd understood what mattered most to me and helped me get closer than I believed possible. What I appreciated most was how straightforward and honest he was during the process. I always felt like he had my back and my best interest in mind. Divorce is incredibly stressful beyond any expectation I had. I wasn't always my best self but Todd made sure everything we submitted was written professionally and above board, even when the other side was not. The entire team at Yelish Law is professional and supportive. They are there to help you get the best outcome possible. I will definitely refer them to anyone who asks me if I know a good lawyer.
