Karen Yochim was at best an inattentive attorney. During our divorce preparation it was very difficult to reach her but on the last few days before our settlement deadline I had her personal cell number. Everything seemed rushed at the end. I believe she made some serious mistakes that took going back to court to rectify. After the divorce she would no longer return any of my phone calls or emails despite me seeking legal advice for an ex that was forging checks with my name on them. At the time I felt like I was up a creek without a paddle. A short while ago I asked her why she ignored my pleas for help and she answered, "that was years ago". I would not recommend this lawyer at all.

Mr. Thompson Handled my divorce I really had to do nothing other than sign a few papers. He completely handled the whole situation I showed up for one court appearance and it was done in a matter of 15 minutes. I would recommend this law firm to any friends or family they do an awesome job and everybody there is really friendly. Thanks for all your help...

Great folks!

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!! :)

wow was what they said. Im from Wisconsin ticket in florida no points or school Thanks

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.

Mr. Alba has been my attorney ongoing for several years and has represented me on more than one occasion. He has always been courteous, kind and extremely informative regarding my legal matters. If I need and attorney in the future, I will not hesitate to contact the Law Office of Alba & Yochim.

The firm took my case and did everything they could to get it settled as quickly as possible without going to trial. I would recommend Alba & Yochim to anyone looking for a great firm who not only dots all i's and crosses all t's, but they cared about my personal well being as well.

It was a long wait but all that matters is that how good the lawyer was to me. Everything he went over with me was very clear and I am very grateful for everything he did for me. I was very pleased!
