Our Story
Experience the Yaffa Difference
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, the firm has built a reputation for legal excellence and innovative service offerings — including options like limited representation and the streamlined SplytUp® online divorce model. Doreen leads with a cost-benefit mindset, ensuring every case is handled with efficiency, clarity, and genuine care. Her influence touches every client file through direct oversight, strategic input, and mentorship of the legal team.
With over 30 years of experience and Board Certification in Marital & Family Law since 2001 — a distinction held by fewer than 6% of eligible Florida attorneys — Doreen brings deep, highly specialized knowledge and a track record of protecting complex interests in and out of the courtroom.
Doreen's Philosophy
"Empowering every client with clarity, efficiency, and a legal strategy rooted in cost-benefit analysis to achieve the best possible outcome."
