Nachlis | Cohade | Lopez-Whitaker, LLP

I had a wonderful experience working with Yau Lee and the team at Nachlis Cohade Lopez-Whitaker. Yau was thoughtful, thorough, responsive, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process of preparing and finalizing our premarital agreement. She took the time to understand our goals, explained everything clearly, and made what could have been an intimidating process feel straightforward and collaborative. I’m very grateful for her guidance and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and compassionate family law attorney.

Working with Yau on my dissolution of partnership was one of the best decisions I could have made. From our very first conversation, Yau took the time to truly understand my priorities and made sure they stayed at the center of every decision and strategy. She brought a perfect balance of creativity, compassion, and tenacity to the process—always exploring smart solutions while never losing sight of the ultimate goal. In the end, the proof of her advocacy is in the result: I walked away with exactly what I had identified as my priorities from the very start. The moment I hired Yau, I felt a weight lift off my shoulders. It wasn’t just hiring a lawyer—it was gaining an entire team who was consistently responsive, thoughtful, and proactive. I never once felt like I was navigating the separation alone; instead, I knew I had skilled professionals working diligently on my behalf at every step. Yau herself was the hardest worker in the room, always prepared, always one step ahead, and always willing to go the extra mile to secure the best possible outcome for me. If you are looking for someone who is not only a skilled and strategic advocate but also a steady, reliable presence through a stressful and high-stakes process, I can’t recommend Yau and her team enough. Their professionalism, dedication, and care turned what could have been an overwhelming experience into one where I felt empowered, supported, and—most importantly—successful.

This is not something I typically do - writing a review for an attorney - but thanks to an “unhealthy” and highly litigious ex-wife, I’ve had more lawyers in my life than I care to admit. Since I unfortunately have a lot of experience within the family law system, I can say with the utmost confidence that Lorie Nachlis, without question, is the best family law attorney you will ever find. My case had a little bit of everything but, from the moment I met Lorie during the search for representation process, I knew she could expertly handle it all, and she most certainly did. I worked closely with Lorie for years - yes, it took years as my ex had us in and out of court as if it was a revolving door - yet Lorie remained invested, focused, and vigilant through it all. Lorie is ultra-professional, super organized, highly experienced, brilliant and a very compassionate attorney. Never once did I ever question her preparedness or performance; she is always nothing but top tier across the board. But what I find almost important as her courtroom prowess is her caring heart. Lorie is as tough - or tougher - than any lawyer I’ve ever seen in action. Yet she is every bit as gentle and caring as she is strong and aggressive. My three kids are my world, as I’m sure yours are for you and, as a family law attorney, Lorie knows it and will fight with all she has for you and your kids. Lorie genuinely cares; even after our work together concluded she still sporadically checks in. How many attorneys out there can the same be said of? She fought for my world and got exactly what we were asking for. Lorie is worth every penny. If you are where I was a decade ago: hurt, confused, scared, and searching for the best representation, your search should stop here. Lorie is the absolute best lawyer and a gem of a human. I am so fortunate to have had her represent me, and my kids, during the most challenging time in my life. I am eternally grateful for her, and her wonderful and supportive staff. I simply cannot possibly recommend Lorie Nachlis and her firm highly enough. Hiring her will be one of the best decisions you’ve ever made.

Family law is an interesting specialty - they attorneys there are your advocates, but also they need to really think about what is best for your family and what is going to be possible within a court system that has the best interests of the children first in mind. And its hard to know what you want and there is no instruction manual about how to deal with some really tough questions and decisions so at best they are able to help you think all that through and reach a good place for you. There are a lot of lawyers out there that may not be the best lawyer for you. Natalia and her team have been great over the last six years. She knows the court and the court system and was able to explain to me the process, the judges and magistrates, even the mediation process. She helped me understand not just my options, but helped me think about how my choices might affect my family and what might be best for them too. She brought in specialists when needed that were very helpful and informative. She treated my counterparty with kindness and respect even when those things were hard for me to find. She was always responsive and available when I needed her.

Once I made the decision to get divorced, I found myself being handed down not only between firms but also within them because so many were so busy. That ended up being the best thing that could ever happen to me. Once I began working with Yau Lee, I felt like a comfort that the problem before me could be successfully completed. Ms Lee was not only a great listener but a diligent worker with a great attention to detail. Nothing fell through the cracks, leading to a successful completion in less than 15 months. I would strongly recommend her and would of course you her again if the need arose.
