Such a great experience! I've never had to hire an attorney before and my case was pretty messy, but I'm so glad I chose Ms. Yochim. Her and her team are amazing and I'm still so thankful for them.
Ms. Yochim answered any and all questions I had, answered my emails very quickly, especially since I'm sure she's so busy. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone and she would be my go-to if I or anyone I know ever needs her.
Thanks again!! :)

If you reading nothing more than these two lines, I hope you find them of most use. DO NOT PAY THIS MAN UPFRONT. HE WILL NOT COME THROUGH WHEN IT MATTERS.
On July 29th, 2016 I hired Christian Straile to act as an advisor in a university conduct hearing. I paid the retainer in full for future work on this case. Mr. Straile, initially very eager about the case, soon became unresponsive to all email correspondences.
As a result of Christian Straile unresponsiveness, I was required to attend a hearing (for which I anticipated Mr. Straile’s to act as an advisor) without any representation. Following the hearing, I sent another email to Mr. Straile indicating that there were several questions I had to answer before a ruling could be made. I forwarded Christian Straile these question and I still did not receive a response.
Christian Straile did not represent/advise me during the hearing and made no effort to respond to my inquires leading up to or after the hearing. I finally received an email from Mr. Straile on September 19th, 2016 simply asking “What is the status of this?” I responded in detail and have not received any further communication from Christian Straile.
Christian Straile’s failure to respond to multiple communications and failure to appear are inexcusable. I hired him to assist me with the university conduct hearing. His failure to communicate, and ultimately his inability to be present at the hearing, guaranteed that I did not have adequate representation at the hearing. Putting aside the fact that all I wanted was for a fair and equitable hearing, Christian Straile ensured the opposite by not responding to my emails and bailing on me when it came time for the hearing. This guy will communicate very well with you UNTIL you retain his services. After he has secured payment he will blow you off. Because Mr. Straile has not followed through in conformance with ethical, contractual and professional obligations, I have sought relief through a Visa merchant dispute for services not rendered.
Next Step: Filing a formal complaint to the state bar association.
It deeply saddens me to have to write such a negative review about someone who helped me with a traffic ticket, but could not be bothered to help me in a matter I paid significantly more for.

Since I live in Europe I was uncertain if it would be possible to start a custody case in the US. Karen was very helpful and professional. I am very happy with Alba & Yochim PA. They seem genuinely interested in producing results and I have only good things to say about this law firm.

Christian's communication skills with his clients is incredible. His knowledge of Florida law, and his ability to get you to think objectively in a stressful situation, make him a great lawyer to hire. I hired him based on his advice when he consulted with me over the phone late around midnight - for free - providing the advice I needed for that night. After hiring him, he was extremely responsive to email, texting, calls - everything to get my case together with very little time to do it. He's a great guy, I highly recommend him.

For traffic citations at least don't waste your time or money. I hired Christian on what should have been a clean and cut case. Not only did he take my money and did nothing but he was so hands off as to have another lawyer attend my court trial who knew nothing of my case. Save your money and time find someone who will work.

Christian took on my case only 4 days prior to my final court date with very little evidence other than my legal documents. Stayed in contact with me the whole way through to get information needed to help in my case . Cannot say enough about what a great lawyer he is as well as he treats you as a friend not just another case. Would be my first choice again hands down. He has great presence in the court room.
