THE LAW OFFICE OF
Yvette Smith O'Connell
OFFICE HOURS
Available by appointment.
How to reach me to set up an appointment:
I'm available via email at YvetteOConnellLaw@gmail.com and usually respond within 24hours. I'm also available via phone at (206) 334-9949, but please note that I hold limited office hours so my return phone calls may take a couple of days.
HOW THE PROCESS WORKS
I meet with clients on Mondays and Thursdays. The first meeting can either be in person, by phone or via Zoom. During that first meeting, we will come up with an estate plan that will work to accomplish your goals for you and your family. The documents will include a Will, Powers of Attorney (for both healthcare and financial matters), a Healthcare Directive, and a Disposition of Remains. I find it best to set up a return date for signing documents at that first meeting to ensure that the process keeps on track.
Prior to the signing appointment, I will email you drafts of your documents, giving you a chance to review them and ensure they reflect your wishes. We will finalize the documents over email to get them ready for signing. The signing of the documents will entail meeting at my office by Green Lake.
My office
​
My physical office address is 7871 Green Lake Dr. N., Seattle, WA 98103. This is where we will meet to sign documents.
My mailing address is 7801 Green Lake Dr. N., Seattle, WA 98103. If you have any items to mail to me, please use this address.
​​
I practice out of a small office across from Duke's on Green Lake Way. Because the office is small, with no reception area, I ask that clients wait until any current clients have left the office before entering. As an option, clients can text me when they arrive from their car and I can text back when I'm ready (206-334-9949). Please note that my office has stairs to reach the front door. If climbing stairs presents an issue please let me know and I will arrange a conference room that is accessible without stairs.
Preparing for our first meeting:
In preparation of our first meeting it would be helpful to read over the Will Discussion form and the Trust Discussion Form. If possible, please fill out and return the Will Intake prior to our meeting or bring it with you if we are meeting in person.

PARKING AT MY OFFICE
There is plenty of free street parking available on the surrounding streets; some are limited to two hours and some have no restrictions at all. Be assured, most appointments last no longer than one hour so a two hour parking spot is fine. If you cannot find parking though, you can also park at Lake & Co Real Estate, which is next door to my office.
PAYMENT
I accept checks, cash or payment via Zelle.
