Mr. Yacoubian was hired to represent me in a divorce. I found him in the Department Newsletter advertisement. Upon meeting him, he misleads me by saying how he knows how to help Officers since he's a retired Lieutenant. However, I believe he helped himself by increasingly adding charges that were not verifiable and excessive. Whenever I asked him a question he would always "get back" to me but really doesn't answer the question. He failed to get me custody time as I hired him for. Also, I was forced to fire him after not getting much done except making the situation worse. My new attorney even complained to me about Mr. Yacoubian calling him several times when he was no longer part of my case wasting his time. I had a horrible experience with Mr. Yacoubian and filed a complaint with the California State Bar. Be careful and question all of his charges.

Our experience working with Mr. Yacoubian was a nightmare. We hired him to represent us in a civil case and we were forced to fire him after only 4 weeks. Mr. Yacoubian was very difficult to work with due to his poor interpersonal skills. Specially, we found him to be confrontational, argumentative and listening to us was not something he was capable of doing. Other attorneys on our case also expressed their concerns with his legal knowledge and their difficulty in interacting with him. This resulted in one attorney refusing to have any further direct contact with him. We believe Mr. Yacoubian’s billing practices are unethical and excessive. We were issued a final statement and refund from Mr. Yacoubian. Only to later receive an additional statement covering the same time period where the times and charges were entirely different from his original statement. Mr. Yacoubian also had confidential conversations with our new attorney after he was removed from our case by the judge, and against our stated wishes. His behavior led to us filing a complaint with the California State Bar. We do not recommend Mr. Yacoubian.
