I've been in practice since 1992, and have successfully represented clients in jury trials and in the court of appeal.

I'm an attorney with a unique blend of legal and medical expertise, specializing in Personal Injury, Abuse and Neglect, and Medical Malpractice. As both a licensed attorney and registered nurse, I bring a comprehensive perspective to each case. I earned my Juris Doctor from JFKU School of Law and hold an MSN/BSN from CSU, Dominguez Hills.Certified in Mediation by the Congress of Neutrals, I'm committed to resolving conflicts effectively. I stay active in professional associations to ensure my clients receive the most current and effective legal support. Let me advocate for your rights and provide the guidance you need.

I was born and raised in Orange County, California. I grew up oil painting and always thought that I would pursue a career in art. I ultimately earned a degree in fine art at California State University Long Beach but it was during my studies there that I discovered my interest in the law. So after graduating I changed direction and attended Western State University Law School in Fullerton. Today I am so glad I made that choice because I love practicing law and enjoy putting my strengths to good use in estate planning for small to mid-size estates.. After finishing law school I worked in the litigation department of a national insurance company in Orange where I handled a variety of complex matters. My focus was construction defect litigation but I also represented a variety of defendants in personal injury cases. During that time I was lucky enough to participate in many arbitrations and mediations which gave me the most useful and important skill I use today: I know how to listen carefully and take time to understand what people truly want.. I currently live in Costa Mesa with my husband and three active young boys. I share the same concerns as many other parents of young children, such as who will we name as guardian of our minor children and how do we want their inheritance distributed? I love meeting new clients to explain their options and work through a plan together. I understand firsthand the needs of growing families and I want you to rest easy knowing that your estate is in order.. I still enjoy oil painting and see many parallels with working in the legal field: each discipline requires logical thinking and problem solving. And ultimately there is a final product on which I am proud to put my name. Let's have a conversation about your plans for your family and how I can help you implement them.

I specialize in drafting complex agreements for corporations, real estate developers, investors, startups and joint ventures pursuing corporate, real estate, and intellectual property matters. On the litigation side, I represent businesses and public entities including financial institutions, insurance companies, healthcare corporations and municipalities in a wide-range of litigation cases.

I represent people injured by the wrongful acts of others.. Notable Cases:

I received the California State Bar specialist designation in Estate Planning, Trust, and Probate law in 2010 and the California State Bar specialist designation in Taxation law in 2012.  I am currently one of less than 100 attorneys in the state with both designations.  I am also licensed in California, Nevada, Arizona, Texas, South Dakota, and soon to be Hawaii.  My practice focuses on estate planning for high net worth individuals by implementing a team approach to planning with the client's CPA, financial advisor, and insurance advisor.. In addition to my legal work, I provide pro bono help to Churches and religious ministries (also on the formation of those organizations).  I am also active in my church, Berean Bible Church of Hilo, Hawaii.

I have handled a wide-variety of business litigation matters as an attorney and mediator.. I specialize in sports-related legal matters.  My ongoing experience as both a business attorney and sports agent enables me to identify and understand the unique issues sports-related legal matters present and to provide valuable insight to my clients.  I have expertise in a wide-range of sports law related matters, including alternative dispute resolution, baseball arbitration,  corporation formation, contracts, employment agreements, estate planning, family law, intellectual property, NCAA/CIF Rules, publishing contracts, real estate matters, and tax matters.. I am an avid sports fan.  I have coached the Trabuco Hills High school mock trial team for the past four seasons.

I have represented homeowners' associations, property owners, municipalities, developers, contractors, and insurance companies in every kind of real estate or construiction matter for over 20 years all over California.  I worked full time for a real estate/construction firm during law school, and have represented clients in litigation and real estate transactions ever since.  My current practice is primarily representation of property owners in litigation, but I have handled may transactional matters as well.  I work to be very sensitive to my clients' needs, and work hard to protect their interests in any matter.. My work out of the firm's East Bay and Orange County offices, but modern technology allows me to handle cases all over California.

Mrs. Yarnal's interest in becoming a family law attorney was sparked at the age of seven, when her parents adopted her younger brother. She remembers her parents' confusion in the process. She recalls meeting a family law attorney who invited her to appear at court. A seven-year old girl wearing a shoulder-padded jacket appeared before the judge and promised to take care of her now-brother. Signing the adoption papers changed her life and established her desire to become an attorney.. Also growing up with a shared parenting plan with her then-teenage (half) brother visiting on weekends and holidays gave Mrs. Yarnal the desire to practice child-centered family law.. Mrs. Yarnal attended University of California, Santa Cruz and graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Political Science. During her junior year she attended Universidad de Carlos III in Madrid, Spain, where she studied international politics and discovered a love of traveling.  Mrs. Yarnal obtained a Juris Doctorate from Thomas Jefferson School of Law, where she graduated cum laude.

I took my law degree with honors from Chapman Law School, now the Fowler School of Law, in 2007, where I had the privilege of serving as editor-in-chief of the Chapman Law Review.
