Rockland County Criminal Defense & DWI Attorney

“My aunt used Yvonne for her divorce and it was such a relief. We had switched from another attorney who was billing us for the smallest things, literally even stapling a piece of paper. What I appreciated most about Yvonne is that she genuinely cares about her clients, not just the billable hours. There were multiple times she told us, "I could do this for you, but it'll cost more. Let me show you how to do it yourself and save the money." She walked us through things like filing paperwork instead of charging us to do every little task. She's incredibly kind, honest, and truly has her clients' best interests at heart. Worth every penny.”

“Allow me to comment that Attorney Yvonne Garbett provided me excellent legal services. I found her to be an excellent listener with the ability to quickly ascertain complex details. Her advice demonstrated both legal expertise and a thorough understanding of the court system. I highly recommend the Law Office of Yvonne Garbett, Esq.”

“I can’t say enough about how great Yvonne Garbett was as my defense attorney. From the moment I met her, I felt secure and supported, especially given the complexity of my case, which was orchestrated between the DA and the Chief of Police. Coming from law enforcement myself, I know how tough this system can be—but Yvonne is a true powerhouse and she was able to see the case for what it was. Someone called her a ‘bulldog’ before, and once I worked with her, I saw exactly why. She’s strategic, deeply knowledgeable, and relentless in the best way. Though she’s very busy, she is never too busy for you. You can always reach out by email or text, and she will get back to you. And, most importantly, if your attorney isn’t busy, shouldnt that raise questions—Yvonne is experienced, established, and capable of handling a heavy caseload(s), and she did not falter, even when uncontrolling circumstance arises, she still showed up to get the job done, for her client. She laid out all my options, explained them in detail, and fought for me every step of the way. In our two-week trial, we won, and I can’t imagine where I’d be without her. I’m forever grateful for Law Office of Yvonne Garbett!”

“I highly recommend Yvonne Garbett!! She is a very good lawyer and she really cares about her clients. When I had my DWI case, I was very nervous and scared because I did not know what was going to happen. Yvonne explained everything to me in a way I could understand and helped me feel more calm. She fought for me and worked very hard to get me the best result. I am very thankful for what she did. I also told my friend about her. He is an immigrant and he was very afraid that his case could affect his papers and maybe even get him deported. Yvonne helped him a lot and treated him with respect. She understood how serious it was for him and helped protect him from a very bad situation and avoided deportation. Yvonne is honest, strong, and very smart.

“I honestly cant say enough good things about my lawyer. Going into everything, I was pretty stressed and unsure about the whole process, but they made it so much easier than I expected. She explained things in a way that actually made sense, kept me updated, and was always quick to get back to me whenever I had questions (and I had a lot). I never felt ignored or brushed off, which meant a lot during such a stressful time. What really stood out to me was how much Yvonne genuinely cared. It did not feel like she was just doing her job it felt like she was really invested in getting the best possible outcome for me. In the end, things turned out even better than I hoped, and I truly believe that is because of her hard work and dedication. If you are looking for someone reliable, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to, I definitely recommend Yvonne”

“This lady/lawyer Yvonne is beyond amazing soul and could have turned a blind eye to me knowing some struggles I’m having for my son and she didn’t she have me as much knowledge as I needed and told me I can counting to reach out if needed to ask questions. As I’ve never had this kind of experience before in a child being in trouble. I’m grateful for her. I give her a 10/10 recommendation.”

“Do you deal in tenant land lord matters. I renovated a home in orange county ny. i have all my records and receipts stating the property manager allowed us to renovate the property in order for us to move in , the town came in did inspection and found the home was a 1 bedroom and not a 3 bedroom and won’t allow the landlord to sign a lease unless the septic system is updated for a family of 5. i spent 13k on materials and created a discounted labor rate for 17k . the whole home was remodeled. Now he’s trying to get us to move back into an older unit i once lived in. i’ve been in the renovated unit for approximately 5 months and they are threatening eviction if we don’t go back to our older unit. i’ve done my homework and the property owner is liable for fixing septic. Technically it is an illegal rental and he can not collect rent nor can he kick us out for no good reason. i’m looking for a lawyer to help me in this case. if this is something you think you can handle i’d love to meet with you and discuss pricing and more.”

“I didn’t end up hiring Yvonne, but I absolutely had to leave a review. I’ve spoken with many attorneys while searching for someone to represent me in a high-conflict divorce, and Yvonne is the only one who actually listened. From the very first call, she gave me nearly 40 minutes of her time, asking thoughtful questions, listening carefully to my situation, and offering real insight—even knowing she wouldn’t be able to take my case due to scheduling conflicts. She followed up the next day with another 40-minute call, plus some helpful texts. She explained the difference between attorneys who truly want to help versus those who just see clients as a paycheck. She was honest, transparent, and incredibly kind. Yvonne also referred me to two other attorneys and even told me what to ask, what to look for, and how attorneys typically approach cases like mine. I’ve been in an emotionally draining situation for years, and Yvonne didn’t just give advice—she gave me clarity and a sense of being heard. That meant more than I can express. I can only imagine the level of care and dedication she gives to her actual clients. She’s not only a professional—she’s a genuinely good human being. Thank you so much, Yvonne”
