"Doesn’t care about her clients. I worked more with her team than with her and then when I did speak with her she I think purposely would ask me the same questions over and over again wasting valuable time like she had zero knowledge of my case and zero interest in me as a client. Well she was getting paid for all the drawn out meetings and making me explain my case over and over again. The billing is disgusting. She repeats herself over and over again and speaks slowly making a what should be 20 minute talk last 45 minutes and would bill for 45 minutes. I was also charged for times one of her staff “accidently” sent me the same email three times… another opportunity to charge more money! Like the other reviewer said go over your bill with a fine tooth comb. They are sneaky. She had a team of I believe 5 working on my case and they hurt it and put me in a worst position to mention cleared out my bank account. Then I hired one lawyer who single handedly got me out of the hole they dug for me and represented me in a way a attorney who is actually invested in their client should… for an eighth of the price. If your’e looking for someone who wants to get as much money out of you as fast as possible and provide no real results she’s the one."

"Yvonne Seeley sells herself well but won’t work for you unless you’re a cash cow or a man. She knows Santa Clara County is pro wealthy dads. Undoing the damage she and her team caused my case is expensive to undo."

"Yvonne Seeley does not make her money winning cases for you-- she takes a retainer then runs your bill up just the few weeks before your hearing. Then, she'll call you in and ask you to sign over some of your property or real estate (the term FLARPL rolls off her tongue grossly) and tells you she won't come to your hearing unless you sign. Run, don't walk, away from her and her firm. No matter how convenient her location may be, it will not be worth it."

"If you value yourself, your money and your time, find a different law firm. Y. Seeley and her firm are only interested in the money and could care less about the human being going through the divorce. The firm lacks communication, passion, sympathy, and everything decent. The only thing they are good at is sending you their bill, which is most of the time fraudulent with duplicate hours billed and such. As a women going through divorce, I made the mistake of hiring this firm and I benefited nothing from them but extremely ridiculous attorney fees billed. Seeley even decided to abandon my case in the middle of hearings for no reason except that she was overwhelmed and couldn't handle my case. Save your money and time and find an attorney who cares about you, as well as the money, but not only the money!"
