Yanira was born in Newport Beach, California but both of her parents are Mexican. Being raised by Mexican parents, who had no education or immigration status, Yanira understood the struggles they faced every day. At a young age, Yanira’s dream was to be able to help the Hispanic community obtain legal status in the United States. Being bilingual (Spanish & English) has helped Yanira connect with many of our Hispanic and she says that changing the lives of other people is what drives her to come to work every day.

Yanira has been working for The Law Office of Ashkan Yekrangi for a little over a year and has strong work ethic, passion, and strives to continue helping clients every day. She has been placed in complicated situations and has solved complex problems and challenges in a professional and compassionate manner.
