About Doreen Yaffa

Doreen Yaffa founded Yaffa Family Law Group with a clear mission: to provide strategic, compassionate, and results-driven legal representation to individuals navigating life’s most personal legal matters. What began as a vision to reshape the client experience in family law has grown into one of South Florida’s premier boutique law firms, serving clients from Jupiter to Miami.

Under Doreen’s leadership, Yaffa Family Law Group has built a reputation for legal excellence and innovative service offerings, including options like limited representation and the streamlined SplytUp Services model. Doreen leads with a cost-benefit mindset, ensuring every case is handled with efficiency, clarity, and care. Her influence touches every client file through direct oversight, strategic input, and mentorship of the legal team.

Doreen Yaffa is among a select group of attorneys in the state of Florida to hold Board Certification in Marital and Family Law, the highest level of recognition awarded by The Florida Bar. Achieving this distinction in 2001, Doreen’s certification reflects her proven skill, deep legal knowledge, and extensive courtroom experience in complex family law matters.

Only six percent of eligible Florida attorneys earn board certification, a designation that requires rigorous testing, peer review, and a demonstrated commitment to excellence in the field. This certification sets Doreen apart, not only as a skilled litigator but as a strategic advisor who guides clients through divorce and family law matters with clarity, compassion, and a cost-benefit mindset.

Hired Attorney

avoid this attorney, complete rip off artist. ripped me off for 15k via my ex-wife. had the audacity to cancel her engagement via an email at 10:30 at night because she couldn't meet with my ex asked if there was an associate she could speak with instead. Her reply was to resign from representation after doing absolutely nothing for $15k. When i called the Florida Bar to report her i was told an attorney can resign for any reason whenever they want. My ex cried for 2 days non-stop over this. Do yourself a favor and avoid her like the plague... She even had the audacity to write my ex an email a few days later, checking in and seeing how she was doing as if nothing happened. Any positive review on here is most likely a paid review. I actually called tracked down every reviewer i could a year ago and documented them all. Most are fraudulent, were a favor, a guy admitted he never used her but she actually replies on here and thanks him, so that is fake, a woman said they traded services,
