Yvette Ashworth is a native Texan, graduating from the University of Texas with a degree in Accounting.  After graduating magna cum laude from Georgia State University School of Law, Yvette settled down with her husband near the beach in Florida. Four kids later and following thousands of hours devoted to her children, the Boy Scouts of Amercia, Parent-Teacher Associations, booster clubs, and her church, Yvette moved to Arizona to start practicing law full-time at Johnson & Associates.. Yvette's primary practice areas are Guardianships and Conservatorships, Estate Planning, and Estate and Trust Administration.  During college, Yvette lived with and assisted her grandmother, Fayme, so that Fayme could live independently for a few more years.  Shortly after moving out, Fayme, who was diagnosed with dementia, moved in with Yvette's mother, who cared for her until her passing.  Having seen the realitites of aging and the sacrifices that her mother made in order to care for her aging parents, Yvette finds it satisfying to help people plan for the future and rewarding to work with those individuals that sacrifice and care for their family members.
