Not business law attorney's

Yanok Law drafted estate planning documents for our family. Excellent communication. Professional. Knowledgeable. Timely. Our experience couldn't have gone better. Would recommend without hesitation.

Michelle was great to work with. My husband and I used her to create estate planning documents. Super professional and always responded quickly. Thanks for making this such an easy process!

Errors get made in simple documents such as putting one date or dollar amount on the proposed document but then another on the final judgement entry. However, when the errors are pointed out you get charged for the additional communication and time to correct items that should not have been incorrect in the first place, essentially charging the client for doing their job for them. Try proof reading your documents before sending them to people to review and sign. Michelle is demeaning and acts superior just because she has a law degree. It is unacceptable to treat others like they are incompetent or stupid just because that person is not your signed client. Maybe try a different area of law that does not require you to deal with people directly in an emotional situation. Rather unprofessional to tell a client that you have 15 min to go over documents because you scheduled another appointment so close to theirs and if they have too many questions they will have to reschedule. Well, maybe provide ALL documents to be reviewed, including the exhibits, so they don’t have to ask to see those at the meeting you failed to allow enough time for. Your lack of planning shouldn’t result in a rescheduling for the client currently sitting in front of you. Not to mention the rudeness when asked to see all documents being filed with the court. Be open, honest and forthcoming instead and maybe these things wouldn’t happen. I mean after the clerical errors in the main documents should a person really trust you to have the exhibits correct? Would never recommend this lawyer to even my worst enemy. Updated post reply: Regardless if I was the signed client or not, the errors were real. Dollar amounts were noted in the documents but not carried correctly to the judgment entry. Not sure if that was just incompetence or a bait and switch factor. Again, she then charged her client for me doing her job for her. Making corrections to things that should not have been wrong in the first place. Maybe if they slowed down and proof read things this would not happen. Also, the incident with the meeting did happen also. So regardless if my being a signed client or not, what I wrote is still accurate. Seems odd that even though I wasn’t paying her bill I still believe the quality of representation lacked. Truth is truth. Nothing I wrote was inaccurate, which is evident by their reply because the only rebuttal the firm had was that I was not their client. Ok, but I did have the misfortune of working with them and it was a less than stellar experience.

It is hard to review someone who was a little bit helpful, but mostly not helpful. And the end of the day, you hope the person was professional, and he wasn't. Michael helped me with an HOA issue. Although he talked a big game in the beginning, he completely fell flat and couldn't finish, and completely disappeared off the face of the earth. A search party couldn't find him even if they wanted to. He didn't have a problem charging me for follow up emails when I was trying to track him down. I don't quiet understand who acts like that, but I guess if you have enough business coming in, you can pick and choose what clients are worth your time and money. So the "little help" part was because I did have legal representation, I did get most of the result I wanted, but not at all to my complete satisfaction. So if you're going to use Michael, make sure he is very specific about what he will do with you, what he is going to charge you, and what will happen if you don't get the results you want. If you can, just avoid him, and go with someone who is going to finish strong and not shoot blanks at the end.

By far the best attorney in the Cleveland! She replies fast and does her best to guide you in the right direction. Everytime I get stuck on laws, all I have to do is email her and boom, problem solved. I am so appreciative!

Legal practice.
