Ira was wonderful! This was my first time seeking legal help for a personal injury claim and Ira made it such a smooth process! He explained everything to me and kept me informed every step of the way! I am very pleased with the settlement he was able to get me and am so glad that I went with Ira as my attorney. He was so personable and lovely to work with! Would 100% recommend and will use him if I ever need an attorney again!

I was extremely pleased by the work of attorney Yellin in my divorce case. When I realized that my ex -wife wanted a divorce I spoke with several attorneys competing for my business and knew within a few minutes that attorney Yellin was the right man for the job. I never regretted my decision for a minute throughout the 18 month divorce. I remember walking into attorney Yellin’s office for the first time in tears and he made me feel so comfortable that I actually left his office that day smiling and with a totally different outlook. I knew that he would fight for me and had full trust in him. My ex-wife was seeking a 50:50 division of the marital assets and the judge ended up ruling an 80%-20% split in my favor all because of attorney Yellin’s brilliant work. This 80%-20% victory was against another very well- known and respected law firm ( I could tell by the opposing attorney’s face when the judge’s decision was read that she was not used to losing many cases, especially by such an extreme margin as 80%-20% ). I will never forget attorney Yellin and what he has done for me. I will never forget his attention to detail( remembering every little fact in my case), his impressive knowledge of every detail related to divorce law, his competitiveness, his professionalism, his responsiveness ( sometimes he met me late at night if necessary) , and his out-of-the-box thinking and ability to adapt quickly to twists and turns in the case. I will strongly recommend attorney Yelling to anyone getting a divorce, he is a true winner in every sense of the word

I hired Ira Yellin to handle my divorce case. I could not have made a better choice. After interviewing a number of lawyers I selected him because I found him to be straight forward and a good listener. He handled my case extremely well and walked me through the process step by step. He was very clear about his approach to how he practices law. He does things in a timely fashion and in a proper way. My case was not an easy case to deal with and he handled himself incredibly well. I would recommend him to anyone who is in the unfortunate place of needing a divorce lawyer. When you are going through a divorce there are hard times to get through. He was available , extremely well informed and helpful to me. In my opinion you could not find yourself in better hands then Mr. Yellin's. He and his partner Rick are more then capable of helping anyone through their legal troubles.

Not knowing any lawyers in the area, I was recommended to the law office of Attorney Yellin & Hyman through a friend of my brothers. I was very relieved when meeting with Attorney Yellin and found him to be very knowledgeable in handling a difficult and complicated divorce. He always had my best interest in mind as well as my childrens. I also had the pleasure of meeting with his associate, Attorney Rick Hyman, and found him to be as equally pleasant and knowledgeable. After the divorce, Attorney Yellin also helped me with my financial situation. It was very comforting to know that he could handle many diverse situations rather than start with someone new. Now my children and I can finally move forward and I would definitely recommend Attorney Yellin and Attorney Hyman to anyone.

I utilized the services of Ira C. Yellin of Yellin & Hyman, P.C. for a divorce settlement. Ira was extremely supportive and professional throughout the entire process. Ira provided detail background on my options and items to consider. He quickly came up to speed on recent alimony changes and took the time to explain the law in terms I could understand. I felt Ira had my best interests in mind at all times. And despite Ira telling me he was my attorney not my counselor, I will always appreciate Ira taking my calls to let me vent and provide support and stability throughout a very difficult period in my life. I would highly recommend Ira C. Yellin of Yellin & Hyman, P.C.

How do I choose a lawyer?

Consider the following:

Comfort Level
- Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?

Credentials
- How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?

Cost
- How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?

City
- Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?

Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?

Here are a few to get you started:

  • How long have you been in practice?
  • How many cases like mine have you handled?
  • How often do you settle cases out of court?
  • What are your fees and costs?
  • What are the next steps?

Want to check lawyer discipline?

It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:

  • Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
  • Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
  • Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
