Law Office of Yolanda M. Trotman, PLLC

On February 17, 2026, I contacted this law firm to request a consultation regarding a reckless driving ticket. I was informed by the administrative staff that I would receive an email confirming a consultation scheduled for February 18, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. I never received that confirmation email, so I followed up on the morning of February 18. At that time, I was told that a consultation was not necessary because it was “just a traffic violation.” I explained that I still wanted to speak with an attorney before making any decisions, and I was then told that Yolanda Trottman would call me at 11:00 a.m.

When I did not receive a call, I followed up at 11:15 a.m. and was told she was on another call and would contact me at 11:30. After still not receiving a call, I reached out again at 11:45 a.m. and was told she would call by 12:30 p.m. I expressed my frustration, as I had arranged my work schedule in order to take this call and repeatedly had to follow up myself for updates. At 12:29 p.m., I was told she was about to call and was asked to text if I did not hear from her.

Unfortunately, I never received a call and texted again around 2:00 p.m. to inform them. After not hearing anything further, I contacted the office again on February 24, 2026, to request a consultation. Within 30 minutes, I finally received a call from Yolanda Trottman and when she answered, I heard “if she don’t answer this damn phone” (I’m assuming she was having another conversation with someone while calling me). However, during our conversation, I found her tone to be rushed and condescending. She stated she had to move on to another task and did not take accountability for the prior scheduling issues.

When I explained that I had been attempting to schedule a consultation since the previous week and had been told by administration that she was being updated, she responded that I should have emailed her directly. I was disappointed by this response, as I had been communicating through the administrative staff as instructed. When I expressed my concerns, she stated that while she would like to have me as a client, she could refer me to someone else if I preferred. The interaction felt dismissive and unprofessional.

I was referred to this firm by a close friend and had high expectations. Unfortunately, my experience with both the administrative staff and the attorney did not reflect the level of professionalism or client care I anticipated.

It’s widely known that Ms. Trotman is well accomplished and has a great legal mind. To witness her in action though is a sight to behold. Not only is she a student of the law, she respects and honors the law by working within it to use all legal means to get justice for her clients.

She is a respected, talented and experienced attorney whose character and reputation are beyond repute.

BEWARE!! save your time and money. Yolanda Trotmans firm has been the most horrible experience I have dealt with an attorney. My case involved Child Support and this took over a year and nothing was ever resolved. The communication was the worst and the turnaround of paralegals was shockingly high, makes me wonder why they never last. Communication was so bad that I would be the one calling and emailing of any updates regarding my case. I finally gave up on Yolanda after no resolution of case, I voluntarily withdrew representation from her. This situation really upsets me because she charged me $5,000 for a simple child support case that was never resolved. She takes advantage of vulnerable people and makes promises she can’t keep. Yolanda Trotman will be reported to bar for neglect and poor communication if you ask me she shouldn’t be handling cases at all. I will be fighting for my hard earning money that was given away for a service that was never given.
