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

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 haven't officially met her due to covid, but I would highly recommend, to anyone looking for a Family Law Attorney. read less

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 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. Most importantly, thanks to attorney Yanez, I was able to recompose and cool off before proceeding. read less

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

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. Even though my matter did not require her services at this time, she made sure I understood what was currently necessary to do and offered her assistance in the future if needed. 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.

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!

Sean Yanez, first off has the most integrity of any lawyer I’ve ever met, we met three years ago, when I contacted him from Northern California and let him know that my wife had moved to Southern California with my three children without my consent, and then she would not allow me to see them, We worked together for six months to put together a strategy that would involve me moving to Southern California getting a place where the children would be happy,Then going to court, in the process we took on the biggest divorce law firm in orange county, and in the end I got all three of my children 50% custody, my ex-wife’s law firm was playing checkers while Sean was playing chess, Our goal from the very beginning was to establish that I was an excellent father, and that all the accusations against me were false, Sean was able to prove this to my ex-wife‘s lawyer to the point in which They decided not even to go to court. I now have my children 50% of the time, full legal and sole custody, this could not have been done without Seans expertise, planning and strategy. If you have a complex case there’s no better firm to go to that Yanez and Associates.

My family has began the healing process and I will forever be grateful and thankful for Sean and so are my children.

Thankful

She was very helpful and very informative of my case. I have full custody of my 14yr old girl . Recently her mother came back in the picture and did her best to take me down, now my ex ( baby momma) is a paralegal who tried to intimidate me many times and to be honest I was scurd. But this amazing woman did everything for me and very fast . It almost seems as if she was a super hero helping the weak like myself. We went to court one time and I didn’t even say one word. She stood up and looked at the judge in the eye and used her Atty. to Judge talk which by the way it has always been a different language to me....lol all I understood was your honor can we take this case of the calander and the judge said Sure... of the calandre and that was it she closed the case .... i still have full custody of my child and all because Iraida Oliva made it possible.... man she Rocks i wanted to high five her in court but i waited to till we walked out of the court room .

When I first took my children to her office and she came out to call one of them in, she looked very mean and intimidating, so my first impression of her was not nice, but when my youngest child came out from her office, she was smiling and very happy. When my second child (a teenager) came out, she was also smiling (which is unusual) and Ms Yanez ALSO came out with a smile, my impression of her totally changed. I know she has to stay objective and keep the kids' best interests at the forefront and that's what matters most to me too! read less

Her professionalism, honesty, & unbiased opinion was the ONLY one I saw the entire 2 1/2 years I was battling for custody of my Children. Her character is above all else. My children felt safe, protected, & happy whenever they spoke with her too, which was most important to me as a Father. I can't begin to express my gratitude for everything her & her team have done for my children's best interest. I finally get to see them again now full time, & I whole heartedly believe that her efforts for fighting for their wishes to be with me again is one of the biggest reasons why. She never gave up on fighting for what was best for them, & knew how much they needed me back in their lives regularly too.Even though she was assigned from the courts and not paid top dollar, Bettina still took the time to research our whole case from the beginning to end, and really look into all of the facts. She even responded to all of us after hours, & always made sure she was personally available whenever her presence was requested in Court. I paid for my own personal lawyer to represent my case, & just watching her professionalism and seeing how much she cared and invested in my children's needs made me wish I would have had someone of her caliber on my side too. I have had 3 lawyers in my life, & none compared to what I saw exemplified from her while representing my children.Bettina is second to none, & I promise you will be glad you chose her to represent you just like I am that she has been there for my children too. read less

She is fully knowledgeable of family law and more than adequate to take on any case. Prior to coming to Yanez and Associates, my divorce had dragged on for 2 years. I went through 3 different lawyers who gave me the run around and were never clear on the definitive law. I spent a lot of money with those lawyers and in the end it seemed as if I worked for them! As soon as I met with Bettina, she knew exactly where I was coming from and gave her recommendations as to what "we" should do next. She is professional and her work ethic is top notch. You will feel as if your apart of a team - Team Yanez! Her staff is always available and it feels as if they are working for you.

Later, I searched for an attorney, enthusiastic to take on a difficult case, and an attorney who had all of the abilities I desired in a family law attorney.I had practically given up on finding such an attorney 'til I watched Attorney Yanez in action during her hearing. She was so impressive that two other individuals, besides me approached her for a business card. I guess you can say she impressed us all. In my communications with Attorney Yanez, she has counseled me and took client control when I became unreasonable. (thank you). She helped me see and understand my options and made me realize that the law seeks to do “what is best for the children”. I finally was able to make my decisions based on the law and supporting evidence. Weeks after my case settled I was finally able to understand the whole picture and realized even though I did not get everything I was asking for, my children are happy.
