Biography

Atty Youso has been practicing law since 1992, and concentrating on divorce and family law since 2004. She has special training in low conflict resolution, including Divorce/Marital Mediation, Collaborative and Cooperative divorce, and creative problem solving. In particular, Atty Youso has extensive experience dealing with cases involving domestic abuse, substance abuse, and mental health issues. She recognizes divorce is extremely emotional and difficult on parents and children alike, and seeks to minimize the negative impact on all involved. First Look Family Law practices primarily in the counties of Waukesha, Milwaukee, Ozaukee and Washington, but occasionally assists low-conflict clients in counties outside the metro-Milwaukee area.
