Yanez & Associates Divorce & Family Law Attorneys Orange County

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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 was surprised by Mr. Yanez honestly and how he tried to help me without demanding any money which is very rare. I could hear his honestly in his voice and how he tried to help with my child support issue. He was very formative, kind and straight forward. I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Mr. Yanez to any parent or partners. He is amazing, professional and HONEST. Thank you Mr. Yanes for your advise, I am in a very good place but I couldn't have done it without you.

I contacted the firm looking for an attorney, they set up an appointment. The attorney contacted me on time and was very knowledgeable. He did a good job explaining options for me. I would use this firm in the future.

Where do I start !Sean Yanez, first off has the most integrity of any lawyer Ive 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-wifes 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-wifes 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 theres 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 Colton Irving

They have supported us in my legal circumstances. Highly recommendable!!

Finding good attorneys can be a daunting journey. Best wishes to the law firm.

Bettina went above and beyond for us. We had a very complicated and difficult family case, supposedly unwinnable according to other lawyers. She was excellent about getting to the heart of the matter and presenting a solid case for a win. Its important to have someone like her who is patient and knowledgeable during these types of stressful times, who is focused on your case more than just their billable minutes. Highly recommend.

Excellent family law firm. The staff is friendly and very helpful. I would highly recommend the firm. Thank you for the advise.

I highly recommend Yanez and Associates, Sean Yanez did a great job in my divorce case and custody of my kids. Thank you!

Sean Yanez is the worst has no family law knowledge. If your looking for an attorney to put in all the effort and really fight for you and give u results this is not the place turn around and look else where with an attorney who is confident and has the experience of family law to show for it. This guy does not.

Great service prompt responses all around excellent law firm answered all my questions and exceeded expectations thank you for the help

The peoples here is really honest they never waste your time .i really like their service!

Avoid at all cost! Literally!!! They will take your money and you get nothing in return. They will not be on your side and will go whichever way the money flows. They do not support you as a client either, so do not be fooled. The retainers fees are a joke as they eat them up, and all you have to show for it is stacks of worthless paperwork.

Yanez and associates were court appointed to represent my children during child custody proceedings. Mrs Shary, one of the associates, made the children feel at ease during the interview, and really listened to them. At the hearing, she was extremely fair, did her due diligence in familiarizing herself with the case and past issues, and made the children's wishes known to the judge. After over 5 years of battling in court, we couldn't have asked for a better outcome. Highly recommended!

I would highly recommend Ms.Yanez to anyone needing a great family law attorney! Most importantly she cares, listens to your needs, works extremely hard, is smart and will truly fight for you. She is really good at what she does.

This firm has continually offered support whenever family law issues have arisen. This is a firm that I highly recommend to both friends, family, and coworkers. These divorce lawyers in Orange County put their primary focus on what is in the best interest of the child. They will help make the process as smooth as possible. A thank you is simply not enough to express my gratitude!!!

$375 an hour and $3500 Retaining fee for services that are performed by paralegal offices for only half the cost of one hour of their service!! These people are disgusting!! Making money off the grief of naive clients!!

My experience withYanez FIRM was amazing, i had such a short time to come up with something to help me and Joanna was there for me. I really appreciated the free consultation as well, it let me see even in their own time they help not knowing off one will be paying for the assistance or not. The fee is also reasonable I think if it had to do with your child its worth it. I hope to never have to go to court again but if I had to I wouldn't think twice in hiring Yanez FIRM again. (= very pleased. Thank u Joanna.

I strongly recommend Bettina Yanez and her legal team. Bettina was upfront and honest during my free consultation. She suggested I explore all remedies before considering divorce and recommended a marriage counselor. Other firms I consulted with were just interested in getting me divorced. I felt attorney Yanez was truly interested in my well being and not just generating more business. Three months later it looks like things will work out. Many thanks, again I will recommend attorney Yanez and her firm to all my friends and family. God bless you.

This firm will do anything to win your case, including but not limited to lying for their clients, passing unverified accusations, and breaking any ethical rules in existence. These attorneys claim to lookout for the well being of your children, but in reality their motive for profit proves to be too persuasive for such low level virtues like truth and honor.

Please disregard the name above, it's my work account! I had a phone consultation with Ms. Yanez and I could not be more pleased! I work in a law office myself and I know first hand how busy she must be. That said, she took a considerable amount of time to discuss my child support case and what the best avenue would be to proceed. Because my situation is a little different from regular support collection procedures, she informed me that she was not familiar with what to do, and that she would not charge me to 'learn'. Working in the legal field myself, I am very impressed with her ethical standards. She is a very polite and more important...approachable person. Her professional mannerisms and her desire to just help clients, is very admirable. I would definitely recommend her to anyone seeking a family law attorney.

Hiring a divorce attorney for your family law matters is not always easy. Often times we hear horror stories about hiring divorce attorneys that do not know what they are doing. When I first met attorney Yanez I knew she was the right family law attorney for me. Her honest answers are greatly appreciated. She does not sugar coat it, she tells it like it is. If you are thinking of a divorce or require an attorney for a family law case, consider calling attorney Yanez.

Putting her legal skill and knowledge aside which is exemplary, Bettina has a quality that is equally important and that is unbridled passion for protecting and fighting for her clients. She is high energy and has a heart of gold. There are a handful of top notch attorneys in Orange County and she is certainly among them, but it's her zeal and caring demeanor that really sets her apart from the rest. You can't teach this. You either have it or you don't, and she has it without question. Thanks Bettina.

This was my second time hiring Mrs. Yanez. The first time around I have no idea what to expect she had a great staff to talk me through every step of the way. We won my child custody case. Second time around I knew Mrs. Yanez had to represent me. My child is a lot older this time around and has had no contact with her father since she was born. Just last week Mrs. Yanez helped me get my case dismissed. We won yet again. If you want the BEST you have to hire the BEST!

What a great and professional law firm, I retained Bettina for a real estate closing on my house in February 2014. I was very impressed how she took extra care in questioning me about my recent separation from my former husband and took steps to protect the home I just bought. In August 2014, I retained Bettina for my family court matter and she has successfully represented me. Bettina is not only a very knowledgeable lawyer but a personable one too. She takes time to get to know you and make you feel ease. I highly recommend Family Law Offices of Yanez and Associates.

When I discovered my child's father was suing for custody, I knew I needed to find an excellent family law attorney in a very short time. I didn't want to blindly pick someone out of a phone book due to the gravity of the case.Thankfully, Yanez & Associates came highly recommended by two close friends of mine. After explaining my complex case to Ms. Yanez, she knew exactly how it should be handled. Her instincts were spot on from day one. She operates with honesty and integrity in a branch of law where these qualities are often the exception.She has an excellent staff of attorneys and paralegals who worked tirelessly on every aspect of my case, meeting short deadlines, and working closely with me and opposing counsel. I firmly believe retaining Yanez & Associates was the best decision I could have made for my case and am grateful to have found such excellent legal representation in this very difficult time for me and my family.

I normally don't write reviews, but after having Yanez & Associates represent me in my divorce case, I felt that I should write one. Iv been going through my divorce for about 3 years, and I have to say Yanez & Associates were there every step of the way. The people at this firm (from the office staff to the paralegal to the attorney) treat you like family. I don't know much about court stuff, but they were able to walk me step by step on what i need to do and make me understand fully of what is going on. After my court date in Jan 6, 2015 everything went into my favor thanks to these guys. I'm so blessed to have these guys represent me and in the long run it was worth every penny. And during my 3 years of fighting back and forth, the attorney fees kept going higher and higher, and with hard times in my work Yanez & Associates were able to help me out with my finances. I was able to pay each month what I can. You cant find any other firm that will do that. The time you step in till the time you leave is professional to its fullest. Thank you all, for all you have done for me. If I ever have any legal matter that I need help with I am differently coming back to you guys.

OMG I would never have enough words to describe Iraida Olivas awesome service, this woman is an Angel sent from above, its like she is meant to help dudes like me who are dumb when it comes to the court thang . 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 didnt 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 . Iraida wasnt expensive at all she will work with you . I would definitely hire her again ...... Thank you Iraida your theee best...

I had divorce and a legal name change handled by the firm and both were handled quickly and professionally with very little I had to do on my own and even the things I did need to handle myself, I was walked through what I needed to do and that helped ease my anxiety about the situation. Being estranged at the time, my funds were very tight, but they worked with me on a fair price. We came up easily with something I could afford, there was no haggling with me and again, even though I was not in a great financial situation at the time, I was treated with dignity. Having dealt with other divorce attorneys for this case and in the past I was happy to find the Family Law Offices of Yanez & Associates. I think Bettina and her staff were the best equipped to deal with my case. I felt my best interest was absolutely their first priority throughout the entire process.

I went to her on July requesting some help from her for my divorce, child custody and child support. I asked her if I could work payments with her she agree to it. Its been almost 6 months and I almost close to paying my whole amount and she hasn't resolve anything for me. I contact her asking her to drop my case for the reason that I am very unsatisfied she response so unprofessional and said I can't make my ex spouse work like a dog to receive child support money! I was scream at for fighting and making a point! The only reason she didn't speed my case where because of money when she had agreed on payments. She raise her voice and wasn't even helping. I feel like I threw all that money and got nothing from it. I really regret hiring this attorney. I am now seeking another attorney who is willing to take my payments and fight for whats honest and I could definitely say he will do a great job for my kids and me! Don't need no one to make me feel less! I definitely don't recommend her. You think as a women she will understand the situation, you will be disappointed after seeing she doesn't!

Bettina is a very knowledgeable Orange County based Lawyer. She was very helpful in the matters of family law, custody and termination of parental rights. She helped ease many of my concerns with my case. She is very compassionate, and understanding. I would highly recommend Bettina for any of your Family Law concerns.

Mrs. Yanez is at the top of her class! 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. If you want a bulldog lawyer who is knowledgeable and experienced in every aspect of family law I highly recommend Bettina.Divorce is not a fun thing to go through especially when children are involved. From financials, to how much time will be spent with the kids, to assets...it can all be quite cumbersome and frankly draining. Mrs. Yanez is genuine and sensitive to all of that. She is a family person herself and understands that every case stands on its own merit. You are her ONLY client at that very moment. You cannot put on price tag on that kind of professionalism.Thank you Mrs. Yanez!!

I recently had to consult with Betinna regarding family matters and was extremely impressed with the level of service I received. It began with the courteous acknowledgement by the receptionist and continued with my meeting to discuss the legal ramifications of my current issues. At Yanez and Associates I felt they understood my present situation and are available to assist me with the challenges I presented. I am not easily impressed but this office made a believer out of me. I highly recommended this office to those who are in need of legal expertise.

I was looking for a good divorce attorney in Orange County and was referred to Yanez & Associates. I gave them a call and was greeted my a warm receptionist whom offered me a 30 minute 'FREE' consultation! Wow, that was a fresh start! I wanted to know is Mrs. Yantez deals with child custody issues within the Orange County area as well as child support and if she would take my divorce case. I was told yes to all of these questions and have an appointment to meet her. I look forward to it, and will update my post when I do.

When I came across Bettina Yanez law firm I had hired an attorney to help me with my divorce and child custody. I did not feel comfortable with the attorney, it wasnt lack of knowledge I did not feel he cared for my case but only for my money. Angelica one of the paralegals from Yanez team help me every step of the way from the day I hired them to the day my divorce was finalized. They not only care for their clients but they go the extra mile even after the case has settled. Yanez team also gave me the option of reasonable monthly payments. I strongly recommend Bettina Yanez for any who needs from an experience attorney help in their divorce/ child custody. They fight for the rights of the child.

Mr. Connor from Yanez & Associates handled a legal matter of mine a year ago and was very helpful and supportive. I retained Yanez & Associates after a free initial consultation that was offered. Each staff member treated me with dignity and respect when I would call or come into the office. I would recommend this law firm to anyone seeking an attorney in Orange County, CA.

My experience was excellent. This law firm made it very clear by their actions that my legal matter came before their profits. I would recommend them strongly for all my friends and family.

I cannot thank Yanez & Associates more! We had a very difficult and very personal case. They did everything in their power to fight for us and be there for us through the whole process. I would like to personally thank Mr. Sean Yanez and especially Iraida Oliva! We could not have asked for a better person to be in our corner than Iraida. She put in many long and difficult hours to help us and we appreciate everything and couldn't have asked for more!! I know we wouldn't have been able to have done this by ourselves.

Thank you for being so responsive and helpful. I really appreciated the honest answers you gave me for my situation. Thanks!

The best law firm to work with! they actually care about what your going through and are happy to help you. They answer any and all your questions with detail and make sure you understand whats happening. best choice you can make!

Mrs. Yanez handled a family law matter for my family and helped ease this stressful process. I had minimal knowledge of the divorce process but Mrs. Yanez explained the process in a clear and concise manner. These attorneys are the best in Orange County. If I have any other family law needs I will continue to use these attorneys!

Bettina Yanez is extremely knowledgeable in all areas of family law.I would highly recommend her should you ever need a family law attorney.She will go the extra mile for you.Words cannot express how grateful we are for her help and guidance.

I met Bettina, she answered all my questioned looked over my documents I had filed, and then explained what I had done wrong. Leaving her office after 6pm I felt relieved, and my mind was made up. Bettina and her team are pure professionals, the level of expertise is comforting and reassuring. I am truly happy with the service I received, and they have not only helped me with my divorce but also counseled and supported me through every steps. Dan Zappia
