Google Reviews for Yonkee & Toner

Highly disappointed. I was referred to this firm by a prominent person who said this is the firm you need to talk with to meet your needs. Unfortunately, when i called to schedule an appointment to initially talk through what we were looking for, they said they had no openings. Huh…. I thought we had left arrogance when we moved from a big city in the midwest to our ranch out here.. Oh well, theres other attorney firms we were also referred to, so we’ll engage with them. Overall just disappointed.

Great people
