Overview
Before practicing law, Yvette spent more than ten years as a registered nurse in oncology and critical care, caring for patients with complex conditions. This clinical background informs her legal work, allowing her to analyze medical records, identify overlooked diagnoses, evaluate nexus opinions, and present complex medical evidence as clear, persuasive arguments for VA disability claims.
Her approach is distinguished by her ability to view cases through both clinical and legal perspectives. Yvette understands how injuries progress, how symptoms are documented, and how to connect medical realities with legal standards of proof.
Her philosophy is that strong advocacy begins with truth, preparation, and respect for each veteran’s experience. She believes service deserves recognition and that accountability continues beyond military service. Yvette prioritizes clear, open communication, keeping veterans informed and involved throughout the legal process. This approach builds trust and empowers veterans as active participants in their cases.
