John S. Yohanan Attorney At Law

This attorney handled my divorce case very poorly and I had to terminate his services. This is just my personal experience. He had very poor communication skills. He was very rude and condescending on the phone or in person. He always had big surprises on the day or the day before a hearing. He gave short answers to your questions and tried to get you out of his office as quick as possible when I needed to understand the process and hear his strategies. I felt that he was not aggressive and he did not have the drive to fight for my case. He dismissed my ideas and requests as non-​sense and took the shortest route that was convenient for him. I felt that he didn’t really like appearing and presenting my case before the judge. He simply wanted to settle to something that usually favored the opposing party. Stretched out a baseless restraining order hearing into a trial which was pushed out 8 months after the initial hearing because the opposing party was going out of town and I was informed only on the day of the hearing. His over-​priced response was weak and written in a daze. When I begged him to plead my case to the judge, he used scare tactics to show that my ideas were stupid and that if I did not follow his advice, I would end up with a permanent restraining order. Everything he did ended up costing me so much both financially and emotionally. He very quickly cleaned out my retainer fee and a lot more for pretty much no progress to my case. I felt like he was working for the opposing counsel who he was friends with. He had nothing much to say when we went before the judge except to extend the hearing to another date. I had to ask permission to speak to the judge and plead my case.
Personally, I would not recommend this attorney.
