    Yasmin represented me with extreme professionalism and at the same time showed caring and compassion. Divorce is never easy but Yasmin had my best interest at heart, listened to my concerns and treated me with the utmost respect. She worked diligently to to obtain a fair and equitable settlement for me. Yasmin is direct and to the point and as a result, working together was quite easy.

  • "You want her on your side."

    Yasmin has handled my settlement agreement on a family law matter expeditiously and prudently making my life a whole lot easier.  In fact, when the opposing side tried to be disingenuous with the agreement Yasmin has vetted the agreement and exposed and called on it .   Needless to say when you need an attorney on family matter, you want her on your side. I highly recommend Yasmin James!

  • Trustworthy. Efficient.

    Ms. James recently helped me through a very long, drawn out divorce. She was extremely knowledgeable, very prompt in answering my messages, and was very empathetic regarding my situation while remaining professional throughout the whole process.

  • Understanding in Your Toughest Times

    Yasmin is the best attorney anyone could possibly hire. She's kind friendly understanding and really cares. Without her help and her expertise I would've never turned out as well as I did in my divorce. Anyone looking for an attorney would be lucky to be represented by her.

  • Turning Difficulty into Lasting Resolution

    After working for years with another attorney to finalize my divorce agreement I switched to Yasmin James. She was compassionate about my situation and really cared about creating an effective custody plan. She worked for a settlement when possible but was a bulldog when needed. Through her efforts we finally reached an agreement and I've been very happy with the results.
