Proven Results: Case Studies at Yılmaz Law Office
At Yılmaz Law Office, we measure our success not just by the victories we obtain at trial, but also by the number of lives we have changed through strong legal representation. We have helped and continue to help countless families and businesses throughout the United States, through the application of our core principles: integrity, professionalism and client-centered legal representation. Below, we present individual detailed case examples describing the various matters we’ve successfully handled in personal injury, family law, criminal defense, and business-related cases. Each case example we collect illustrates how we maintain ethical integrity while fighting for the outcome that best serves our clients’ interests – wherever they take us across the country.
Achieving Justice for an Injury Victim: Personal Injury Success
“A Virginia software engineer, James R., suffered severe injuries in a multi-car pileup caused by a distracted driver. Faced with medical bills accumulating and time lost from work, James came to Yılmaz Law Office looking for just compensation. Attorney Leyla Yılmaz obtained the medical records, worked directly with accident reconstruction experts, and negotiated directly with the insurer when their initial offer was less than James’s required compensation.
Our legal team worked to create a clear picture of the extent the injuries caused James to lose his quality of life as well as impeding his ability to earn income in the future. When the insurance company failed to give a reasonable offer, we filed suit and prepared for trial. We secured the testimony of expert witnesses including medical professionals and James’s employer. When an insurer can no longer ignore facts and evidence, they will often prefer to settle than go to court. In this case the insurer’s counteroffer was $850,000 dollars – more than twice what they offered in the beginning. This settlement meant that James could now pay his medical expenses, recover lost time from work when he was out of commission due to his injuries, and spend his energy on getting back on track.”
Reuniting Families After Divorce: Custody Dispute Success
“Divorces and domestic relations matters are frequently charged with emotional stakes. Such was the case for our client Maria S., who was in a heated dispute about custody of her two young children. A separated mother of two with a busy work-life, Maria was challenged by her ex-spouse’s claim that her work schedule and living arrangements were not in the best interests of the children.
Yılmaz Law Office worked diligently and compassionately when collecting all relevant facts and evidences related to the divorce. We prepared and presented character references demonstrating stability as a parent, provided documentation of Maria’s active participation in schools and activities involving the children, and suggested an evaluation by a child psychologist. Our legal team advocated for a parenting plan which afforded consideration to the children’s best interests, as well as those of their parents’ work schedules. The court awarded Maria primary custody, allowing her former spouse generous visitation with the children. Maria thanks us for providing support and counsel that resulted in a fair and workable arrangement for her family.”
Defending the Innocent: Winning Criminal Case
“When Maryland small business owner David L. was charged with felony embezzlement after an internal audit at his company, he was concerned for his very freedom and future. David claimed that he never committed any crime, but he was facing zealous prosecutors and damaging negative publicity. The Baltimore criminal defense attorneys of Yılmaz Law Office were retained to provide an aggressive defense.
The team carefully initiated a comprehensive investigation, revealed the company’s accounting procedural shortcomings, and found inaccuracies within the state’s evidence. We enlisted the help of forensic accountants, proving that the supposed missing money could have been a simple clerical error – not a criminal act – and at trial, Attorney Leyla Yılmaz cross-examined key witnesses while pointing out inconsistencies in their testimonies. After a week-long jury trial, the jury rendered not-guilty verdicts. Unconditional acquittal – we helped David L. vindicate and restore his business’s good reputation.”
Settling Legal Disputes Prior to Litigation: Business Law Success
Entrepreneurial businesses have a different legal landscape than most others, as our client GreenSprout, a Washington DC-based green landscaping startup, can attest. The owners of GreenSprout reached out to Yılmaz Law Office for assistance with entity formation, intellectual property protection, and consultations related to local environmental regulations.
We worked with GreenSprout to advise on the best business structure, filed incorporation documents, and obtained trademark protection. Our firm also reviewed all vendor contracts and ensured compliance regarding all city and federal environmental requirements. When a dispute arose between GreenSprout and one of their suppliers over contract requirements, we were able to mediate a solution that maintained our client’s relationship with this vendor while protecting their interests. GreenSprout is still going strong, secure in knowing that all legal matters are covered thanks to our advice and counsel.
Restoring Employee Rights: Wrongful Termination Success
“California-based marketing specialist Rebecca T. was fired after reporting workplace harassment. She suspected that the employer’s conduct was retaliatory, but did not know how to challenge it. Rebecca consulted with us at Yılmaz Law Office to learn about her rights and potential remedies.
We thoroughly examined Rebecca’s employment documents, including company policies and correspondence. Our lawyers guided Rebecca through the administrative process of drafting and filing a formal complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). After the employer denied any wrongdoing, we entered into settlement negotiations that relied on voluminous evidence of retaliation and procedural defects. The employer paid a total of $120,000 in damages, including for lost wages as well as psychological distress, apologized publicly for what had happened, and agreed to follow corrective actions. Thanks to Rebecca’s determination and sound representation by our legal team, justice has been served while educating the employer’s workplace on conducting itself according to law.”
