Mrs. Yanez truly cares about the children and what is best for them. She is real knowledgeable and she and her staff will help you throughout your case. I highly recommend choosing Yanez & Associates.

With much gratitude to Yanez & Associates Attorneys and Staff.
Mrs. Bettina Yanez, Mr. Peter Flanagan and Mr. Sean Yanez worked closely with our family through one of the most difficult and emotional domestic violence divorce. Our entire family suffered by one person's act of violence. Going through this kind of life changing trauma, you will need people of true compassion and willingness to fight to protect you in every possible way. Every dollar spent was more than worth the professionalism this legal firm brought to us. I strongly recommend Yanez & Associates for as an excellent Family Law Firm.

I appreciate everyone at Yanez & Associates. I was blessed to have wonderful attorneys who protected, worked hard and assured me that I came first in all their decision making. I went through a difficult abusive and domestic divorce and Yanez & Associates attorney's, staff and administration responded with respect and urgency to protect me and my family. I highly recommend Yanez & Associates for their values and legal services. Extremely knowledgeable and experienced in family law.

After months of trying to find the right legal counsel that I could trust, I was graciously referred to Sean Yanez by a dear friend who highly recommended him and his firm. As a true skeptical person, I was a little apprehensive to speak with yet another "fast talking" attorney who wanted me to pay upfront for a consultation that may or may not answer my legal concerns, but to my pleasant surprise I found that Sean Yanez was the real deal with a heart.

As a true skeptical person, I was a little apprehensive to speak with yet another "fast talking" attorney who wanted me to pay upfront for a consultation that may or may not answer my legal concerns, but to my pleasant surprise I found that Sean Yanez was the real deal with a heart. He not only gave me extremely valuable advice through his free consultation, but took the time to follow up right away with strategies I could apply to my legal matter right away. Also, instead of upselling me on his legal services, he was honest and straight-forward with giving me his recommendation without trying to take my money. He took the time to learn about my case before speaking with me and never had me repeat any information I already shared with his firm, he spoke to me with compassion and interest in my legal matter, and was extremely helpful at a time when all I had been used to was the exact opposite. Off the bat, Sean was sincere and full of knowledge that he shared openly without coming across as condescending or forceful. He was a breath of fresh air to speak with and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone who needs an attorney that they can trust. I would have never found Sean through reviews due to my past experiences, but I'm so glad that he was recommended to me by a friend. Please believe me when I say that you can trust Sean and his firm to handle your family law matters. They are timely, knowledgeable, trustworthy, and most importantly they treat people with compassion, dignity and respect without overcharging and under delivering --qualities that can be so difficult to find in attorneys. You will not be disappointed. read less

I called Yanez & Associates divorce & family law attorneys and scheduled a free consultation with Attorney Yanez few weeks ago. She was very polite and listened attentively and was very informative in her response. She seemed very well-informed in her field, intellectually quick and very assured. Just speaking to her made me feel strong and safe, which is a good sensation to get from an attorney. I would hire this law office just based on their kind conduct.

I didn't hire them but did an initial consult. Laura called me back on a weekend and set up the consultation. I was very impressed getting a call just minutes after submitting a request for help. Thank you for the time!

I scheduled a free consultation with this family law firm and they were really helpful. It indicates a lot to me when someone takes time to talk to you for a few minutes about your problem. Compassion is super important and this law firm has it. Thank you so much.

I reside outside of California and was blindsided with a child custody matter that involved a temporary restraining order. Clearly this was a terrifying and strange spot to be in. From the very first contact with Yanez and her associates I was impressed with their attention to detail. I highly recommend them.

I was in great need of the best family law attorneys to handle a child support matter. I contacted several family law firms. I then called an OC family law firm and spoke with Mrs. Yanez. She was very professional & knowledgeable about family law topics. She went over my case and she answered all my questions. She quoted a price and suggested I also interview other attorneys before making a decision. That made me feel good that she was not rushing me.

A little of our story,
My Husband and I hired on Mr Yanez & Associates to help us with a move away case from CA to CO for my step son who had primarily lived with us since he was 5 yrs old (he’s 11 now). His birth mother believed that with us moving away she should now have her turn in raising him and attempted to change the custody agreement. We were worried we’d lose the case and our son would have to stay behind and not be able to continue to grow up with his brothers since “courts tend... read moreA little of our story,
My Husband and I hired on Mr Yanez & Associates to help us with a move away case from CA to CO for my step son who had primarily lived with us since he was 5 yrs old (he’s 11 now). His birth mother believed that with us moving away she should now have her turn in raising him and attempted to change the custody agreement. We were worried we’d lose the case and our son would have to stay behind and not be able to continue to grow up with his brothers since “courts tend to sway with the biological mothers” or so they say.
My husband and I were fortunate enough to have had met with Sean in person a few years prior and were able to get a feel for how we’d hope he’d handle our case. And thankfully we were right. Even with all the Covid 19 obstacles he did not falter. We wanted someone who would listen to our concerns, someone who would answer our questions (and trust me we had a lot!) but not just with what we wanted to hear but with facts, with honesty and sincerity even if it wasn’t the answer we wanted. We wanted someone who knew the ins and outs of the court system and how it all worked and would give us their honest opinion. He was always was a step and ahead and very strategic. He gave us play by play and being in a situation where the end result could possibly be loosing your child, having someone like Sean who was literally there fighting with us made all the difference.
Mr Yanez & Associates were always extremely timely with getting back to us quickly, we never felt out of the loop, we never felt as if we were in limbo waiting on responses or answers or what our next step should be. Their professionalism and knowledge in my opinion is bar none.
The end result is we now live in CO with my stepson, and thanks to Mr. Yanez & Associates, my husband and I can continue to watch our boys grow up together.
If you’re looking for an attorney for your case. Look no further!!
Sincerely,
a Wife & Boy Mom of 3 read less

Attorney Yanez was a godsend. She assisted us with a very difficult custody situation. She gave great advise over the phone and took the time to listen and address my unique situation during these uncertain covid-19 times. She is kind, but a tough divorce attorney. If you want a clever, trustworthy and passionate attorney who cares and knows family law extremely well, I recommend this legal team.

Absolutely remarkable family attorneys. Yanez and his team are extremely knowledgeable and give great advice. They know family law! I spent days seeking family law firms before making a decision. This firm was able to help me. Thanks to Mr. Yanez, I'll be able to be spend more time with my son again. If you're looking for a family law attorney for Irvine or the general Orange County area who cares, who's reasonably priced and knows what he's doing, this law firm without a doubt is a must consult with. I highly recommend them.

Our encounter with attorney Bettina was incredible. She walked us through the divorce process and allowed us to better understand the complexity of going through a divorce. I can honestly say that Mrs. Yanez and her Associates helped release my stress and allowed me to be able to sleep comfortably without worrying, she was phenomenal. Thank you again. I will recommend you and your team to my family and friends.

I was introduced to Attorney Yanez's website through a video I found on YouTube. Attorney Yanez is very knowledgeable and caring. I requested Mrs. Yanez for my complex divorce case that comprised of complex custody concerns and financial disputes. I was drawn to her because of her being a Family Law Specialist. We spoke on the phone to discuss our tactics and my concerns. Yanez is an expert in her field of family & divorce law. Without any hesitation I recommend attorney Yanez.

I scheduled a consultation with Attorney Yanez and she was absolutely WONDERFUL. I had previously spoken with several other attorneys regarding my specific situation and they were either extremely rude, indicated they were unable to assist me, or both. These conversations left me extremely frustrated and feeling very hopeless. Attorney Yanez, on the other hand, was never judgmental and researched the Family Law Code that was specific to my matter while on the phone with me, which no other attorney seemed willing to do.

I will forever be grateful that she was patient and willing to help. read less

I am happy with the service I received in this matter. I live in a different state than my attorney, the whole process was done either over the phone or by computer, but was done thoroughly and efficiently.

This California Family Law firm was very instrumental in assisting me and my family with a free consultation over the phone and provide sound legal advise. They are extremely knowledgeable and helped me through roughest moments. I appreciate the tips shared with me. You want them on your side! Highly recommended.

Ms Yanez and her team are extremely knowledgeable and professional. Excellent communication, reasonable pricing and quality legal assistance. So glad I found this firm!

Awesome advice that helped greatly! This law firm really cares. No sugar coat it or making false promises. I cannot recommend them enough. Yes, I will certainty recommend this law practice to my friends and family.

Yanez and the family law team law firm, including the person answering the phone, were a godsend during my divorce case. Yanez provided me with knowledgeable of the areas of family law I was unsure about. Further Yanez spent additional time past the allocated free consultation. I was impressed that Yanez did not even look at the clock and just focused on my needs. I want to thank Yanez and the team for everything and recommend this divorce and family law firm to anyone requiring a family lawyer.

This attorney was amazing during our initial free consultation. I was dealing with false allegations regarding a Domestic Violence matter that was humiliating. I not once thought I would ever find myself in such a situation. The staff was genuinely respectable and was very sympathetic of the circumstances. I walked away with great advice and no longer felt anxiety. For now I have peace of mind and I stop worrying. I highly recommend Y&A for DV restraining order false allegation defense.

I volunteered to find a child custody attorney for my dear friend that has been going through a very stressful legal situation. With the lost of her job due to covid19 she needed to stretch her funds, as a result I found this family law firm that granted her a free consultation. Thank you so much for your expert legal advice!! We are now better able to cope and understand what our options are. We will be in touch!

Very professional, diligent and she really cares, not like other lawyers.
I will recommend her to anyone going through a divorce.
Habla espanol ;)

Trustworthy and honorable! Two words that come to mind when reviewing these divorce & family law attorneys. They returned my call over the weekend and lived up to their free consultation; moreover, they recommended a local attorney in order to save me money due to their locality.

My experience with Miss Yanez has been exceptional. She's a remarkable lawyer. It's difficult to meet someone in family law that has ethics. This law firm is very professional and will tell you how it is without sugar coating it to get your money. Thank you for your honesty!

Thank you Shawn for help with a child support matter. I was the one that called you in tears and with your guidance I took the steps you recommended. Even though you knew up front I did not have the means to hire an attorney you spent the time to guide me in the right direction. I know you stated that a review was not necessary, but I just want everyone to know how kind and thoughtful you were with our legal needs. Thank you so much!

Five stars for excellence! I first reached out to Bettina to seek help in a paternity case. Mrs. Yanez was calm and poised in her approach, which made us feel relaxed and positive that an expert was going to review our case. I sincerely recommend this attorney for her caring and professional opinion to everyone in need of legal family law assistance.

I was very impressed with the attentiveness I received for my child custody case review. The attorney returned my call over the weekend and spent quality time consulting me on my options. She took her time explaining the law to me and shared multiple scenarios. She was highly recommended through a friend of the family law court that constantly observes Ms. Yanez in action at the Orange County courthouse.

Finding a good child custody attorney was not an easy task. After numerous consultations with family lawyers I felt we would not locate an attorney that truly took an interest in the case. Then we found Bettina through a Youtube video. She is very well informed and approachable. She truly cared about our custody case and aided us in understanding our rights. I highly recommend Ms. Yanez, she is a wealth of information when it comes to family law in California.
