Client Reviews
"I've worked with many attorneys, and Yvenne is THE BEST! Top notch legal work from a highly organized person who meets deadlines and bills for hours in a fair and reasonable manner. I fully endorse hiring her for your legal needs."
"Yvenne is the most friendly, understanding, and polite attorney I've ever met! You'll feel like she's a normal everyday person who's very sociable. She also goes ABOVE and BEYOND to make sure your job proposal is properly researched, vetted, and correct before final delivery. This is not an attorney who uses AI Software and takes shortcuts, she pays attention to the details and helped me immensely. Definitely my most positive interaction with a Lawyer and on UpCounsel."
"I chose Yvenne because she took the time to research and learn about my business before she even submitted the quote. This was important to me because I have a unique scenario and little legal experience and needed someone who could also help me understand my situation. This high level of care and attention to detail carried through to all of her work throughout our time together. I appreciate how invested she was in my project. The legal documents she created for me were exactly what I was looking for and I'm extremely pleased with the results. Yvenne is very responsive and easy to communicate with, the quality of her work is extremely high, and she is overall a pleasure to work with. Thank you Yvenne!"
"Yvenne is an outstanding attorney and is a great person to work with as well. Her writing is clear and understandable, she's very responsive, and expertly handled a very complex contract under tight time constraints."
"Had a great experience working with Yvenne. She helped put together some strong and balanced contracts for our clients and helped us navigate through some complex clauses and enabled us to make good decisions during contract negotiations. Always responsive and clear in communication. Would definitely use again."
"Yvenne was very thorough and extremely knowledgeable about contracts and MSAs. She was very precise in her articulation of what was wrong with my existing contract and offered helpful feedback to make the adjustments. She was a great pleasure to work with and I'd highly recommend her to anyone on the platform. I'd definitely work with her in the future."
