Strategic Defense Motion Practice
Experienced attorneys such as those at Walk Free Law have many talents. They are empathetic during intake, methodical to discover evidence from both sides, they have strong negotiating skills, and they use motions to communicate their views and requests to the court. Some of the motions are pre-trial, such as motions In Limine, others are for discovery, and some motions are made during trial. Some of the motions that our firm is often successful with are the following: Wilder/Williams motion; 1583.5 motions to suppress; Serna and Doggett’s motions to dismiss; 995 Motion to Dismiss, California Three Strikes Law and Romero motions; Pre-Trial 402 motions; Mower Motion For Medical Cannibas; Pitchess Motion; and Trombetta-Youngblood Motion.

I had talked to several attorneys before I came across Alana. When I talked to her she was very knowledgeable, comforting and gave me hope. She got me through an extremely difficult time and I was extremely happy with my outcome. I would recommend her anytime. Thank you Alana for all your hard work.

We chose to be represented by Alana after consulting with several lawyers. Strong work ethics and integrity are the most important qualities a lawyer may possess, and where many lawyers lack them, Alana has lots. Alana's dedication to her …More

I would've spent many more days weeks and months, perhaps even years behind bars, for a misunderstanding. Thank God for walk free law

I want to send my heartfelt thanks to Alana and Natalie of Walk Free Law and their staff in taking our case. Not only were they so professional, but also so caring and thoughtful. It was very difficult going over the mental illness facts in my son's case, but they were so compassionate and understanding and allowed me up to date information every step of the way. I was able to discuss options and likely scenarios; I saw how hard they worked on our behalf. I feel that Walk Free Law is probably the best firm in the Los Angeles community and I would from the bottom of my heart, recommend them to anyone who needs representation for themselves or for their loved ones.

I was referred to Alana by a friend when I unfortunately found myself faced with a tough DUI case. She put my mind at ease and explained step by step how I could solve my legal problems. She handled all my questions and concerns thoughtfully and carefully with her thorough legal expertise, and made what was a legal nightmare a little more manageable. I will and have recommended her to friends, and am so happy that I have such an ace lawyer to turn to should I ever need her help. Alana is a true professional through and through and handled my case like a champion! I am proud to have Alana as my lawyer.

From the moment I talked to her on the phone, I understood that Alana was on my side. She cared for my well-being. It took her a lot of effort to clear up the mess created by my public defender. The most important thing is she believed in me until the very end. Thank you Alana for your dedication and amazing results.

Ms. Yakovlev successfully petitioned for my certificate of rehabilitation and I am no relieved of the obligation to register. I cannot praise her enough for her efforts to secure my relief. She was always eminently professional, compassionate, and available by phone and email. She treated me like she was indeed my advocate, and believed in the justice of my case. I could not have done better in search of a competent, sympathetic counsel.

I was in custody for almost 3 years due to a bad deal with a public defender who did not care, when Alana was able to get me out by filing a petition for writ of noram cobis. They resentenced me to rehab. Alana thank you for giving me my freedom. You believed in me when no one else did. Thank you for making miracles happen.

Attorney Alana Yakovlev represented our family in mental health court 95A. The purpose of her representation was to guide our family during the hearing of my brother. Since my brother is represented by a public defender it is most frustrating and almost impossible to communicate with his public defender or any other court officials (due to HIPPA). Mrs Yakovlev was incredibly efficient and effective in communicating with the court and all the officials involved in my brothers case. Her attention to details and persistence to achieve justice for my mentally ill brother was par excellent. I would highly recommend the ethical, moral and excellent legal service provided by Mrs Yakovlev.
