Yolanda Arriaga
Associate attorney · Spanish and English
Families usually call me in a hurry. My job is to slow the decision down until everyone can see the numbers.
Yolanda came to the firm from a senior legal aid program in Ventura County, where she helped older adults with benefits, housing and care. She leads the firm's long-term care and Medicaid planning, and most of its powers of attorney.
She grew up speaking Spanish at home and meets families in Spanish or English, at the office, in care homes or at the bedside.
