Mrs. Yochelson was born and raised in the San Fernando Valley and speaks fluent Spanish thanks to being raised in a bilingual family of Chilean descent. Additionally, she is a licensed real estate broker and Notary Public. Mrs. Yochelson prides herself in giving her clients the personal attention their case deserves and always being available to speak with them personally, something that is not always available at larger law firms.

She has had numerous successful results, including settlements of seven figures, but most importantly she will fight for her client’s rights and tell them the truth about their case.
With her numerous professional contacts and memberships in community organizations, as well as membership in Consumer Attorneys Association of Los Angeles (CAALA) and Past-President of Encino Lawyers Association (ELA), she is able to provide referrals to clients for any legal issues outside of her field of practice.

- Q. I was basically rear ended a few days ago and the guy offered to pay cash and we got a doc together. Now my neck hurts.

Also, it’s important to know how much property damage you had to your vehicle and how much damage to the other vehicle as well. Most importantly, if you are hurt, you should seek medical attention immediately and not wait any longer.
- Q. My landlords dog attacked me (5 bites) as I entered the backyard of our house. Went to hospital for treatment. Now what?
- A: You should consult with a personal injury attorney before giving any statements to the homeowners insurance company. Although it sounds like there is coverage a lot of homeowner policies have exclusions for certain breeds of dogs.
Your attorney will also need more information about your status as a tenant. One question might be: Do you live on the landlord’s property?
