Hired Law firm 2023DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!!! Laura 100% should NOT be a lawyer!! She is a complete fraud! She will use up all your retainer in the first month or two. Her response time is absolutely horrible, then after she used up your money she will drop you mid case and leave you to figure the rest out on your own! BIGGEST mistake of my life!!

Hired Law firm 2023CLIENT BEWARE To Laura Yelish you are a criminal and a liar. She truely does not care about you. My ex moved up here from Montana and brought my kid with her. I moved up here after alot of preperation. My ex has been antagonistic to me since we had our kid. She ended up accuaing me of crimes that later got dismissed because she kidnapped my kid and ran away. I didnt know where she went. So I sought out help and called Yelish law. I had a consultation with Laura and it sounded like a great choice. I told her I wanted to meet in person so I could show her all the information I had. She also told me she was going to be working after hours and remotly to help me (indicating how busy she was). She seemed to really dive in and got a lot of things moving fast and I thought it was amazing. Then we get to a court date where the judge pulls out an existing case from Montana. A TEMPORARY parenting plan from over 3 years ago that both my ex and I forgot about or even followed. Laura and I went out into the hallway and I even pulled out the same order from my little briefcase and if she had given me time to show her maybe she could have caught it. Instead she abandoned me. Claiming its bad for her repuatation that she didnt know. I told her this was why I wanted to meet in person and she said I should have made an appointment (I already told her I wanted to meet her in person and that I was trying to respect her busy schedule) she than said I could have dropped off the paperwork (for which I didnt know I needed to do or what to drop off also I have hundreds of documenta so I would have had to spend a lot of time and money making copies for and I wouldnt even know what was relevent). She then claimed I purposfully withheld the information. The same information that said I had to jump through a ton of hoops and which I did. So this information would help my case more. She only cares about money and her reputation. She really doesnt care about you or your case. Which is depressing because I had high hopes for her and of seeing my little girl again. But now I need to find a new lawyer. Choose someone else. Someone who will care and not think your a criminal.

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.
