With a passion for analytical thinking, helping others, and being a positive advocate for those who don't already have a support system, Attorney Phresha Yudkin is committed to making you feel represented and supported–both professionally and personally. She is proficient with collaboration and aims to be a team player for your case; Phresha knows how powerful it is to feel connected to your attorney and feel confident that there is strong, reliable communication between you and your representation.
Part of Phresha’s ability and want to make her clients feel supported and understood is her own experiences with Family Law. Her parents got divorced when she was 18, so she understands what it feels like to be the child in the situation; she also knows how it feels to watch a parent struggle throughout a complicated divorce, and how it's not easy to watch someone you love hurt so much. Phresha acknowledges the feelings of helplessness associated with difficult divorces, and uses the knowledge she gained in her personal life to advocate for people–especially because she felt like she couldn't as a child.
Phresha got her BA in Criminal Justice at Florida International University, and attended New England School of Law as well as obtaining her Masters in Criminal Justice from Northeastern University. Her accomplishments are accentuated by the fact that she moved to Boston on her own; she didn't have any family or friends that lived in the city yet still became a first-generation professional. Phresha’s educational experience and independence show her capability to adhere to her own personal values of being resilient and striving in situations that others would think are too stressful–which are skills that she brings to her practice and make her an outstanding attorney at O’Connor Family Law.
In high school Phresha thought she would be flying planes as an Air Force pilot rather than advocating for her clients in the court room, but her career choice has led her to expanding on her skills–as well as building strong, long-lasting relationships. She met her husband in law school, and they did the “law school journey” together, getting married in their third year. Nowadays, they spend time traveling around New England and enjoying unique parts of the region. Phresha’s favorite time of the year is fall because she never got to experience it when she lived in Florida; she finds something incredibly special about the leaves changing and getting to experience a comfy blanket around a fire. Her and her husband also share their home with two mini dachshunds, Artie and Franklin. They were puppies who grew up together and are “absolutely spoiled.” They love barking, but they warm up to people quickly. Although Phresha initially had other plans in mind for her future, her skills and ability to connect with people in Family Law are abundantly clear.
Attorney Phresha Yudkin emphasizes being reliable and helpful but also aims to be someone who makes everyday life easier for her clients. She understands that Family Law is a highly complicated field that often deals with complex, heightened emotions, and strives to always maintain clear communication and ensure that you feel like you are on a team that will not only support you but accomplish the best possible outcome for your case. Phresha is an attorney who has the skills to ensure she won’t crack under pressure–no matter the circumstance–and is prepared to use her strong passion for advocacy to confidently represent you.
